Union Sweatshirt Design Competition

Posted 6 May '21 under Featured News

We're running a competition for all members to have a go at creating a design for new NZPFU winter sweatshirts.

The winner will receive petrol vouchers to the value of $500! Before entering, here's what you need to know:

The design must incorporate the NZPFU logo
You will need to incorporate a slogan that represents the union
Feel free to include a design for the front, back and sleeves
Please keep in mind the Sweatshirts will either be black or white

The new gear and winning design will be stocked in the NZPFU online merchandise store. When considering your design, we're wanting both a hoodie and zipped sweatshirt similar to the clothing below.

So, go ahead and put pen to paper, or mouse to screen and see what you can come up with. Please send your designs through to wellington@nzpfu.org.nz

Union Sweatshirt Design Competition entries are open from today and close in three weeks on Friday, 28 May 2021.

In unity,
