Marysville Getchell School Crest Art Competition
**APPLICATION & INFORMATION LINKED HERE**
A school crest is different from a logo, currently, Marysville Getchell does not have a crest. A crest is a traditional, formal means of representing the schools academic and nonacademic values. Traditionally, a school’s crest is put on diploma’s, graduation announcements and invites, and other official school documents. The purpose of this competition is to find our school’s crest.
Competition Overview
Students will be able to submit a crest design with a brief explanation of their design. One crest design per person. All crest designs must be school appropriate, more details will be listed further in the document. Any inappropriate crest designs will be automatically rejected. Once the submission window closes, submissions will be narrowed down and voted on by the student body. The design with the most votes (and administrative approval) will become the new school crest.
Design Guidelines
The crest design should embody your interpretation of the MG campus, community, culture, and values. Crest should represent values that transcend across generations of students.
Media: All forms of art media are accepted.
Colors: You are welcome to incorporate all colors, but the primary colors should be Getchell’s school colors (green, yellow/gold, black, and white).
Inappropriate Elements: References to drugs, sex, and violenece are innapropriate and will disqualify your submission. Gore, horror, and dark themes and elements are not appropriate for a school crest and will disqualify your design. References to current trends and socio-political events do not relate to our school crest and will not withstand the test of time, so including these elements will disqualify your submission.
Other: Keep in mind that if you are making a design with non-digital media forms it will have to be digitized, so crisp lines are easier to transfer. If you are making a design with digital media forms, keep it mind it will have to be printed, so overly intricate details may not translate well.
