Judging & Voting

Semi-finalists will be selected based on the following criteria:

• How well the design/slogan reflects GWU. 
• Whether the design/slogan is eye-catching, powerful and unique. 
• Whether the design/slogan is in keeping with the university’s code of conduct. 
• Compliance with trademark licensing regulations. http://www.gardner-webb.edu/publications/pub-forms/trademarkbrochure.pdf
