The 3rd Annual STP Design Contest -- 2025

The STP Design Contest for the 2025-2026 academic year is now open, and we want YOU to participate! This is your chance to unleash your creative genius, make a lasting impact on STP, and win a free registration to STP’s Annual Conference on Teaching in October. 

Are you ready to showcase your artistic talent and create a design that embodies STP's core values and mission? We're seeking a colorful design that captures the very essence of our society—a design that is visually stunning, memorable, and speaks to who we are as teachers and psychologists. Incorporate "STP" and the academic year "2025-2026" into your design. Picture your creation being transformed into stickers that will be showcased and shared as part of our conference swag throughout the academic year!

Participation in this contest is open to all current members of STP.  If you're not yet a member, don't worry! Becoming a member is inexpensive, quick, and easy—visit our website and join the STP community - https://teachpsych.org/join/. Non-members can provide input by voting for their favorite design, but only members are eligible to contribute a submission. 

Submitting your design is a breeze! Just go HERE, log in with your STP member account, and complete a quick Google Form indicating your intention to submit. Once your design is ready, email a JPEG, PNG, or AI (Adobe Illustrator) file to design@teachpsych.org. We can't wait to see your imaginative and unique vision come to life.

Designs are due by September 3^rd. Once the submission period ends, designs will be reviewed by the STP Design Contest Committee for originality and appropriateness. This committee will consist of STP’s Vice-President of Membership, two members from the Membership Committee, and two from the Membership Communications Committee. After the initial review, we will move into the public voting phase. This is your chance to make your voice heard and support the design you believe best represents STP.

The grand unveiling of the winning design will take place at the STP Annual Conference on Teaching in October. In addition to earning free registration to the conference*, we will recognize your contribution and present you with a certificate. Furthermore, your design will proudly serve as the official STP sticker for the entire 2025-2026 academic year and be available at all STP-sponsored conferences.

Remember, originality is the key to success! Ensure that your design is not copyrighted, genuinely reflects your creative vision, and is created without using generative AI. Let your design gears turn, gather inspiration, and prepare to submit your masterpiece. We are eagerly awaiting your innovative designs and can't wait to celebrate your talent!

*The winner may choose to gift their free registration to a colleague, request a refund if they have already registered for ACT 2025, or delay their registration to ACT 2026 if they were not planning to attend ACT this year.
