HOSA Canada is excited to launch the SLC 2026 Hoodie Design Contest, giving registered students the opportunity to create the official limited edition hoodie for this year’s Spring Leadership Conference.
Steps
1. Submit Your Design:
- All interested students can submit one original hoodie design via our Google Form by October 31, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET.
- Submissions must adhere to HOSA’s Brand Guidelines. You may use any of the HOSA Canada logos that can be found here.
- Design specifications: Designs will be printed on the back of the hoodie only. Maximum area is 12″ × 12″ (30 × 30 cm).
- Design colours: Designs may use up to 4 solid colours (no gradients), suitable for screen printing. The final hoodie colour will be chosen from navy, maroon, tan, black, or white—designs should work on at least one of these.
- File specifications: Submit vector files exported as PDF (.PDF), or high-resolution (.PNG, 300 dpi, transparent background). Each file must be under 10 MB. You may upload up to 5 files if you want to show variations for different hoodie colours. A mockup is optional, but at least one file must include the design alone (not on a hoodie mockup).
- You may include a short explanation of your design in the submission form.
2. Student Voting:
- After submissions close, all registered HOSA Canada students will have the chance to vote on their favourite designs. Voting will be open until November 16, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET.
3. Winner Announcement:
- The design with the most votes will become the official SLC 2026 hoodie, available for pre-order through the HOSA Canada Shop starting in December. Students who pre-order will be able to pick up their hoodie at the conference. The winning designer will also be announced at the SLC 2026 closing ceremonies.
