T-Shirt Design Contest
For our 2025 Project Management Symposium, we plan to do another t-shirt giveaway, so we are looking for a t-shirt design that Project Managers would love to wear.
This year, we thought it would be fun to open up the opportunity for someone else to create the design. We are excited to see what you submit!
