#AWP21 - Cosmosphere T-shirt

About this campaign

Thanks to supporters, we're halfway to our 2021 goal of raising $3,000 for AWP's Writer to Writer and the Kurt Brown Prizes program, but we still need your help! Check out our entire #AWP21 collection at https://www.customink.com/fundraising/awp21-collection. This second round of sales ends March 31.

T-shirts that were purchased by February 11 are now being printed and shipped to arrive at supporter homes in time for the conference.

About the Design
Our first-place winner is Katrina Roberts of Walla Walla, Washington! She will be awarded $300, two free conference registrations, and a free one-year membership with AWP. About her design, Katrina said:

“I wanted my design to feel joyful, playful, whimsical, and to celebrate the magnificence of technology to bring us together despite all. I'm struck by how time has wobbled during the months of quarantine, how we've had to spin in our own orbits, and in so doing, how we've found new ways to engage the world and each other. In my design, I tried to capture something slightly retro, to accentuate a sense of slippage through time, a reassertion of the way our lives are palimpsests. I'm so grateful for the way technology and the generosity of many creative people afford us this opportunity and space to interact with and to inspire one another despite the pandemic! Hello, Cosmosphere: #AWP21 is here!”
