ALEXANDRIA, VA – If you have the best idea to make the slogan “Be the Good News in Someone’s Life” pop on a t-shirt, The Zebra Press in Alexandria, Virginia will give you $250.00 cash, and the bragging rights.

“Our mission statement is to spread good news. We leave the hard stuff to the other well-established media venues in town, and concentrate on local heroes, charitable organizations and uplifting stories,” says Zebra Publisher Mary Wadland.

“With the COVID-19 health scare enveloping all of us, we are looking to reward local heroes even more, and thought a cool t-shirt would be a nice thing to give out to the heroes we feature,” Wadland adds.

But they need a design. Wadland recommends getting a “feel” for their company by studying their website, print publication and social media pages. “We like whimsy, and want something people will want to wear. We’re a fun news organization. I named the company Zebra after all–we are a horse of a different stripe.”

If you have an eye for graphics, and want to make a run at it, send your design/s to [email protected] by April 10, 2020.
