he Celebrating Bronze & Blue committee, initiated by Jarrod Noftsger, assistant to the vice president for student services, is launching a T-shirt design contest to increase awareness and promote UCO pride and spirit. The purpose of the competition is to encourage people to wear bronze and blue colors every Friday. The contest is open to all students, staff, faculty, and community members. The designs should incorporate the colors bronze and blue, the UCO logo, and the words "Celebrating Bronze and Blue." No more than three colors can be used and the design should be printed on a 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. There will be first, second and third place awards for the contest. Designs will be judged for creativity and their appeal to the student body, faculty and staff, and the Edmond community.
