BCBA Logo Contest!!

$100 CASH Prize!!!

The BCBA is looking for a new logo! After many years using our current design, we would like to refresh our look. The logo appears on our T-shirts and other gear, and appears on our website.

Do you have artistic skills and think you have some ideas for our new logo? Submit your idea to the BCBA board, and we will bring the final 3 candidates to a vote of the members. We want our logo to illustrate our support of honeybees, all other pollinators, and a healthy planet. It’s also important that the logo positively reflect Boulder County. The logo must also include the text “Boulder County Beekeepers’ Association”.

Deadline: March 30, 2024

Please submit your artwork digitally via email, even if you have to scan in a hand drawing. Vector files are preferred (like SVG or AI) since these are scalable, but PNG or JPEG are also acceptable. Obviously we cannot accept material copied from other sources, so please focus on your original and unique art.
