- Best design as judged by the Committee on Sections.
- Most notable presence on t-shirt day at the Centennial MathFest in 2015.
The prizes will be (not necessarily in respective order):

All submitted designs must be:
- submitted by an MAA member.
- an original one-sided design.
- mathematical in nature.
- printable in four colors or fewer.
- easy to reproduce on a colored T-shirt. Specify the color of shirt you intend for your design. Color of the shirt will affect the price.

- The standard t-shirt stock is Gildan Ultra Cotton (100% cotton pre-shrunk)
