Feel free to explore our expedition and the PolarTREC website for ideas.
A few suggestions:
Keep the design simple
Use two or three basic colors
If you use words, make sure it’s legible
Make it your own unique design!

Five winning designs will be selected by members of the expedition team. The winning designs will be printed on cloth flags that will be flown from our research vessel in Antarctica. Winners will be announced during the expedition between April and May 2015 on the PolarTREC website. After the completion of the expedition, the flags that were flown in Antarctica will be mailed back to the winners, using their provided address (address will only be used to notify winners).
