Fall Conference Badge Contest
The Fall Conference Badge Contest is an opportunity for students to put their design skills to the test!
Students can submit their designs for the chance to be the official press pass design for the 2026 Fall Conference. Designs must be submitted by February 16th, 2026.
If you have any questions, please email Erin Goss ([email protected]).
Guidelines:
- We will evaluate designs for creativity and originality
- The design should work well with the size and dimensions of the badge (see Badge Design Template)

- 2.75 x 4.75 space for significant interior elements (text, QR code, logo)
- 1.25 x 3.25 white space for participant name on front at bottom
- 0.6 x 0.25 space, 0.375 inches from top void of elements to accommodate hole punch
- Incorporate the words “Press Pass” on the front.
- Provide space on the back for a QR code and include the word “Program.”
