The Student Council and Parent Council are sponsoring the 6th Annual Durham Academy Spirit Week T-shirt contest. Please consider submitting a design to celebrate DA Middle School spirit. Your design may be chosen to decorate the t-shirts given to all Middle School students during Spirit Week.  Here are some details about the contest.

  • Your submission must include the Durham Academy name or Logo and the year 2017 somewhere in the design. You may choose to include a front pocket design, a back design, or both.
  • Your design must be created by hand in a black fine point Sharpie. (No colors or ultra fine lines in the original submission. No computer generated images.)
  • You may attach a second draft with suggested color scheme (not required). The front pocket is limited to 1 color and the back can have up to two. Please understand that we may need to change the colors at the printers.
