Submission Guidelines
The purpose of the contest is to design a logo for the Mann Art Gallery. The logo will be used online, in print and daily business as well as in various marketing and advertising initiatives of the MAG. Flexibility is a key requirement, including the need to resize easily and to function in both black and white and color; on light and dark backgrounds. The final version of the logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing.

Because of the requirement to register the logo as a Trademark, Entrants should take care to ensure that their Entries are not in any way similar to existing logos or other copyrighted images. A logo that cannot be registered as a Trademark, no matter how well crafted, is not eligible to win the Contest.
The logo should contain the words or a complete or partial variation of the acronym of The Mann Art Gallery / MAG.

Due to the requirements for high quality printing and re-sizing Entries must be submitted in scalable vector graphic format (EPS). We advise against the use of halftones and gradients unless created inside a vector graphics program. Color in this version must be CMYK, no spot colors.

We also request a JPG of the logo be sent at 1000 pixels square so that entries can be posted to our website without the need for conversion. Please make image resolution as high as possible while staying within a total document size of 5mb. If you are sending multiple submissions, please send email separately.

TO RECAP: the entry will consist of 2 files: the basic logo each in EPS and JPG format. Your name and contact information, and a brief description of the concept of the logo as it relates to the Theme.
Prizes
Subject to the legal requirements outlined above, the winning design will be announced shortly after the deadline of the contest. Every effort will be made to inform the winner in time for him or her to attend, but the MAG is unable to pay for travel and accommodations.
The winning designer will receive:
1. A $500 cash prize.
2. A complimentary one-year membership to the Mann Art Gallery.
3. Declaration of name as designer in all subsequent advertising and marketing campaigns related to this logo design contest, as well as a permanent record as logo designer in the history of the MAG organization.
