Announcing our first ever swag design contest!

We’re creating YPT swag and we need your help! If you’re interested, please send your best transportation-related design with the words “Young Professionals in Transportation SF Bay” (or “YPT SF Bay”) incorporated to yptsfbay@gmail.com. Vector graphics are preferred, and designs with 1-2 colors are best for printing.

All members will have first priority on getting the swag at an upcoming event, so remember to join or renew your membership (you must also be a member to submit a design). The winning designer will receive a free swag item and YPT membership for a year. The deadline is Friday, July 27 and the winner will be notified in August. We can’t wait to see your ideas!

Some fine print: All submitted designs will become property of YPT SF Bay, and you are welcome to include your name on the design.
