The Student Tee-Shirt Competition

Every year, student volunteers are given a tee-shirt designed by one of their own. If you have ideas for designing a creative logo, you should definitely give it a try! The winner will be offered the opportunity to participate in the conference as a student volunteer!

We would especially like to acknowledge Gionnieve Lim for their contribution to the Student Volunteers Tshirt Logo! The logo is a combination of the S and V letters, similar to Superman's costume
