Patch Contest Rules

Each year PALM accepts original patch designs for the following year. One winning entry is chosen, and the designer receives a free registration fee for the next PALM ride. The patch design contest rules are:

1. Entries should be postmarked by the end of
September. You can send a hard copy (PALM, P.O. Box
7161, Ann Arbor, MI 48107) or as an attachment to an
email (palmbiketour@yahoo.com)-- just send to the PALM
address or web site.
2. Use oval, diamond, sqaure, circle, etc. We
prefer those that do not create undue problems with
the shape. An irregular shape is more expensive.
3. We prefer a size about 3.5 inches by 4.5
inches.
4. Colors should be pretty basic, so that it is
not too difficult to reproduce.
5. Patch should include the year and ride number
(this will be 2008 and PALM 27). The numbers do not need to be in
Roman numerals.
6. Patch designs can be drawn by hand or be computer generated.
6. It is helpful if your name is on the entry in
such a way that it is easy to hide from the committee
when we vote. All patches are viewed with the identy
of the artist unknown.
7. We try to make the decision by the end of
November. All entrants will be notified and all
non-winning entries returned.

Good luck, and we look forward to receiving your entry.
