The Moorpark College Multicultural Day Planning Committee is holding a design contest for the logo that will be used for this year’s Multicultural Day activities.

This year’s theme for Multicultural Day is “Service Without Borders” and contestants are urged to incorporate this theme into their designs.

According to Jerry Caplan, a member of the Multicultural Day Planning Committee and philosophy professor at Moorpark College, the logo design contest is a great way for up-and-coming graphic artists to show off their work, and gain experience in a competition focused on graphic design.

“[It] is a chance to get some real experience in a graphic design competition, presumably like one would expect in the business world,” Kaplan said.

The grand prize is $200 for the artist whose work best interprets the theme, and their winning design might be used on T-shirts, shopping bags, posters and possibly other media to publicize the event.

Two runner-ups will win $50 for their respective designs.
Kaplan is excited to be apart of an annual tradition that has spanned 20 years, and believes that the event will be enjoyable for students.

“We are very proud that Moorpark College has supported this endeavor for the past 20 years,” Caplan said. “It is always a fun, educational, and festive day.”

The deadline for submitting your logo design is Monday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.
