SWAG Design Competition:
Time to put your artistic skills to work! We are looking for a student designed logo for Festival 57! While we will have our classic R2 logo on items that can repeat from year to year, we’d love something fun and unique to celebrate *This* conference. Make sure you are not using anyone else’s intellectual or artistic property in your creation. Please limit your logos to 4 or fewer colors to keep pricing down. Depending on the number of entries we will either put all entries or just the finalists up for a vote on social media. Winner gets bragging rights and a free piece of Swag with their logo on it. Enter here by October 31st (spooooky)! Send questions to chair@kcactf2.org.
Volunteers Needed:
Want to help with Festival 57 and get a discount for registration? Apply here to work as a festival volunteer. Student volunteers will help with registration, set ups, tear downs, and general conference running as needed. You can sign up to work either 10 hours for discounted registration ($60) or 20 hours for free registration. If you sign up to volunteer and do not complete your hours you will be charged for your registration price after the fact. Apply prior to registering for festival if at all possible to use a discount code. Apply Now! Send questions to chair@kcactf2.org.
