Submission Guidelines

1. Be creative
2. Do not move or delete the SPU logo or the color stripe behind it
3. Do not change the color of the SPU logo
4. You’re free to spell out “Loopy” however you like— by drawing it, painting it, tattooing it, forming it out of objects or people, shaving it, etc. But your image must clearly say “Loopy”
5. No obscene or suggestive images will be considered

Note: Selection of images for use in the e-newsletter is at discretion of Student Programs and University Communications
