• Four of the five finalists in the 2013 AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt Design Contest are from the University of West Georgia. The public is asked to vote for their favorite design starting today, March 15, and ending at 11:59 pm on April 30. Each person can vote once per day until April 30. The winner will be announced when the first runner crosses the finish line and receives their official t-shirt on July 4.

This is the fifth consecutive year that UWG students have been selected for the contest. As in previous years, the students are in a "professional practices in design" class taught by Clint Samples, an associate professor in art. The four students are Katie Pettus, a senior majoring in photography; Justin Dunbar, a senior majoring in art education; Hannah Sanders, a senior majoring in art education; and Kayla Marston, a junior majoring in graphic design.
