CALL FOR T-SHIRT DESIGNS FROM BOSTON AREA ARTISTS - September 12, 2011
WMBR is looking for designs to use on fundraising swag.
WMBR is a college/community radio station affiliated with MIT. We are a local, non-commercial station, broadcasting at 88.1fm, and online at http://wmbr.org. We are 100% volunteer, with no paid staff. This is rare - even among other local college and public stations. Our only sources of income are listener donations and a small stipend from MIT.
Each November, we host a week-long fundraising drive to replenish our capital budget and keep the station on air for another year. Typically, we offer various premiums -- wmbr-branded T-shirts, bumper stickers, etc. -- to donors as our way of saying thanks and for them to wear in support of the station.
Each year we choose different designs for these premiums, which is where you come in! We are reaching out to the local artist community for logos or other images. This year is special for us, we’re celebrating 50 years on the air! Because of this, we’re especially looking for designs that highlight the 50th anniversary of WMBR.
While we can't provide cash payment, any designers whose images we use will receive publicity via on-air mentions and on our website, as well as ample samples of their work on the actual premiums. In addition, you'll be helping out one of the premiere radio stations in the region.
If you're interested in helping us out, please respond by Monday, Sept. 12. Reply to me at premiums@wmbr.org with a jpeg or link to your proposed design. Rough drafts are welcome if accompanied by examples of other finished work.

We had a great response when we reached out to this community last year. Thanks for your consideration and please feel free to pass this along to anyone you feel might be interested!
