Northwest College

Logo Design Contest

If you are a current NWC student who has a creative eye for catchy graphics and a knack for design, we're looking for you. If you're a creative soul without design skills, partner up with someone who is.

The winning logo will represent the Northwest College Student Academic Showcase and be featured prominently on promotional and event materials every year. Multiple submissions allowed. Winning submission receives a $150 credit to the NWC Bookstore.
