They like to do things a little differently at Micro Focus. Conference T-shirts form a basic component in many a delegate pack, but what they aim to do for MFW’09 (Micro Focus World) is to tap into the enormous creative potential of their customer community through the ExpressIT competition, to design the graphic image that will be printed on the back of the conference T-shirt.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a graphic that reflects one of the core themes of the conference. Your creative can either be an image or maybe a catchy slogan, and should be suitable for t-shirt print (the colour of which is pre-determined as dark blue). Fun, exciting and dynamic ideas will of course triumph!

The creative genius who is triumphant will be showered with gifts and praise! This will take the form of a 20” Apple LED Cinema Display, with the winning submission printed on the back of every t-shirt, and your name and picture included in the conference website and delegate packs.

Participants can enter individually or as a team (maximum of three people). For further details, including a submission policy and competition rules, download the ExpressIT competition guidelines [PDF]. Deadline is 15 January 2009.
