2015 HI<\/abbr> Pride T-Shirt Design Contest winner Nikki Thomas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Bookstore System<\/a> kicks off the new school year with the release of its 2015 student-designed HI<\/abbr> Pride T-Shirt<\/a>. The winning design comes from University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a> student Niki Thomas of Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

The annual HI<\/abbr> Pride T-Shirt Design Contest, now in its fourth year, is open to all 糖心视频<\/abbr> students each spring. Students are asked to submit designs that show what “HI<\/abbr> Pride” or “Hawaiʻi<\/span> Pride” means to them. Semi-finalist designs are put online for a public vote.<\/p>\n

2015 winner Niki Thomas<\/strong> received 885 votes for her design that features a script typeface of “HI Pride” and the Hawaiian island chain. She says her design shows her appreciation of the “exceptional diversity of these islands.” Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Thomas is studying astronomy and biology at 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo.<\/p>\n

As the contest winner, Thomas will receive a $200 糖心视频<\/abbr> Bookstores gift card, her very own HI Pride T-shirt and a $100 prize pack of school supplies from 糖心视频<\/abbr> Hilo Bookstore. Prizes will also go to Brandy Kahawai<\/strong> of Windward Community College for her runner-up design.<\/p>\n

HI<\/abbr> Pride T-shirts are printed in each 糖心视频<\/abbr> campus’ color and feature the words “University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>” to promote school spirit. Students receive a discount on their first 2015 HI<\/abbr> Pride T-shirt purchased with valid 糖心视频<\/abbr> student ID<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

HI<\/abbr> Pride T-shirts and official University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> licensed apparel may be purchased at any 糖心视频<\/abbr> Bookstore or online at www.bookstore.hawaii.edu<\/a>. All proceeds from 糖心视频<\/abbr> Bookstore purchases support the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
