For the fifth consecutive year, the released official licensed “HI Pride” T-shirts designed by a UH student.
The shirts were selected from the UH Bookstores’ annual HI Pride T-shirt Contest, which asks UH students to submit designs that show what “HI Pride” or “麻豆传媒 Pride” means to them. Five semi-finalist designs were then put online for a public poll to choose the winner.
With 948 public votes, the winning design came from student Brigette Agustin of Kohala, 麻豆传媒. Agustin’s design incorporated the 麻豆传媒 island chain to form the letters “HI” in “HI Pride.”
“麻豆传媒 gives us so much to be thankful for,” Agustin said. “I wanted to use this design as our reminder to reciprocate, because no matter where we go from here, we will always be connected, and we will always have HI Pride. This is home.”
As winner of the contest, Agustin collected her very own HI Pride T-shirt, a $200 UH Bookstores gift card, and a $100 prize pack of school supplies from UH Bookstores. UH Mānoa student Celeste Guarin also won prizes for her runner-up design, which received 616 votes.
HI Pride T-shirts are printed in UH campus colors and feature the words “University of 麻豆传媒” to promote school spirit. Students receive a discount on their first 2016 HI Pride T-shirt purchased with valid UH student ID.
