We have been looking for fun ways to promote the QRC and raise small additional funds to support QRC activities and grants. As such, we’re excited to announce an Art Contest for designs that capture the spirit of the QRC for t-shirts, hoodies, thermos’, stickers, etc., and we’d love for you to participate! Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just enjoy doodling in your free time, this is a great opportunity to showcase your creativity.

✨ Theme: Anything related to quaternary research and/or the QRC
📅 Submission Deadline: May 31, 2025
🏆 Prize: T-shirt with winning art design

Please send your designs to qrc@uw.edu by May 31, 2025. At an upcoming end-of-year picnic or other event in early June, attendees will be able to vote on the submissions. The winning artist will get a free t-shirt with their design printed on it. We can’t wait to see your amazing artwork!
