As part of our efforts to rejuvenate the user interface of PhilPapers
and associated services, we are announcing a design contest for a new
PhilPapers header and logo. The PhilPapers Foundation offers a prize of
CA$4000 for the winning design. In addition, the winner's name will be
displayed on PhilPapers with an optional link to a professional or
corporate page. In case two or more designs are successful and we
combine them, the main prize will be split in a proportion determined by
the Foundation.
Evaluation: Submitted designs should align with the purpose and audience of PhilPapers. We have a preference for a simple, modern design, but we are open to all ideas. The design should also be relatively easily adaptable to our other sites (e.g. philevents.org) and should suit a fixed-width (centered) content page (unlike the current design). The board of the Foundation will select a short list of finalists (five or six), and these finalists will be asked to produce a few additional logos with other names, including PhilEvents, before we make our final decision. As a condition for receiving prizes, winners will be asked to submit production-ready, scalable Adobe Illustrator vector graphics versions of their designs.
Participants should submit an image file containing a final design (not just a sketch) for the part of the site (philpapers.org) from the top menu (inclusive) to the top of the page, including a new logo. The submission deadline is April 30 (23:59pm Eastern time). Participants may submit multiple designs. Please send submissions and inquiries to contestphilpapers.org. In submitting artwork to the contest, you agree to cede the rights to all submitted artwork to the PhilPapers Foundation if you receive a prize of at least CA$500. We reserve the right to award no prize if no design is satisfactory.
