	With a community of supporters and alumni marked not only by a passion for the care and study of creation&nbsp;but also a distinct creative streak, the Au Sable Institute is inviting submissions for our next bumper sticker design. We want to create a visual that conveys the essence, experience, and mission of Au Sable that can be applied to your car or your water bottle as a decal and even used as a graphic for other Au Sable gear. That&rsquo;s what we are after.</p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128);"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Get creative! Draw it, paint it, stamp it, design it on your computer.</span></span></strong></span> We welcome submissions created through any artistic medium, as long as you can submit it as a digital vector file (pdf, ai, svg, eps). Submissions may be in color, but also must be accompanied by a black and white rendering of the design. There are no specific shape restrictions, but keep in mind what shape and size would work well for a sticker. It is better to design it big, a large design can be scaled down more easily than a small one can be enlarged!</p>
<p>
	<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128);">The winning design will be printed as Au Sable&rsquo;s 2017 sticker.&nbsp; The successful designer will receive a $100 REI gift card as well as a year&rsquo;s supply of bragging rights!</span></strong></span></span></p>
