BotSoc turns 30 in 2027
Botsoc is turning 30 next year. To celebrate the event, we have planned a number of activities. The first was our T-shirt competition:
T-shirt competition
We called on all creative minds to make a design for a T-shirt to commemorate the occasion.
We had a great response, with some really lovely and imaginative entries. With 56 designs submitted from 23 entrants, it was a hard job to choose a winner. We finally selected two winners. They were Tammy Brunauer of the Made in Namibia Collection and Tafy Tang Arts Studio. Two very different, but very Namibian designs. Congratulations to these two winners! We will be printing the T-shirts early in the New Year. Samples of each design will be on sale at Botsoc events, but people may also order a specific size and colour T-shirt. More information in 2027.
Many, many thanks to all who submitted designs, thus helping to make this competition the success it has been. You can view all the entries here.
