The One Day Crash the GAC T-shirt Caption Contest

Article by Brent Dixon
Brent Dixon’s Website

The Awesomeness:

The ladies and gents at CU Swag & PTP New Media are sponsoring Crash the GAC tshirts for our group.

The Predicament:

We need a caption for the tshirt. And since you’re funnier and more clever than us, we want it to come from you.

The Intense Deadline:

Because of printing requirements, the contest ends at noon CST tomorrow. Winner will be chosen Thursday, and the design will be finalized and sent to the printer on Friday. Bam!

The Prize:

Writer of the winning caption will receive a $25 gift certificate to Threadless.com.

Update! The winner will also receive 5 free shirts from CU Swag.

How to submit:

Leave a comment here, send us a reply on Twitter to @crashthegac, or send Brent an email at brentd [at] filene [dot] org.

Readysetgo.

    Front: GAC Logo

    Back: Wha? I can’t believe I crashed a senior citizens party. The other crashers told me that GAC stood for Generation Awesome Conference. I’ve been duped. They should rename this Geriatrics And Curmudgeons! Oh well, I still think credit unions are awesome.

WHAT IS THE GAC?

CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference is one of the largest conferences in the credit union industry.

Each year, hundreds of some of the brightest and most influential minds in our industry descend on Washington DC to network with peers, hear from key legislative and political leaders, and experience a variety of sessions on credit unions' hot issues.

"CRASH?"

Yup. Crash. The idea began as a subversive conference for credit union professionals under 30 around the proper conference, including Crash Sessions lead by industry thought leaders and boatloads of networking opportunities.

Since then, CUNA's Center for Professional Development has also opened up opportunities for our group to attend the full conference through a scholarship application program.

Meaning we've essentially become two events for the price of none.
