What is Project Black and Gold?
Project Black and Gold is a campaign to get more school spirit colors around campus, by creating and displaying banners along Academic Row and other areas. It begins with a slogan contest for a fresh UMBC spirit slogan, and will end with a variety of banner designs, featuring the winning slogan, created by a number of UMBC-related designers and artists.

Who created the slogan options?
You did! The slogans were collected during the month of November through a form on this website, as well as a booth on The Commons Mainstreet. We received 137 total submissions, and then our team of judges, representing SGA, the student Marketing Intern team, and the Office of Institutional Advancement, narrowed it down to our eight favorites, with school pride themes that vary in levels of seriousness and tone, to best represent our campus as a whole.

Alright, I voted... What happens next?
We will be collecting votes through myUMBC until December 18th. After this date, we will simply take the five with the most total votes, and these will be the basis for the series of five banners, which will be displayed across campus in high-traffic areas, to help promote our own UMBC spirit!
