Students in the University's fashion program could win a $10,000 prize and an internship at Robin Ruth by designing a T-shirt, according to the University.
Starting Nov. 1, people will be able to vote for their favorite of four designs. The design that earns the most social media votes by Nov. 13 will become the #AUshirt, which will be produced and sold online.
For every #AUshirt sold, $5 will go to fund scholarships for Auburn fashion students to study abroad. The student with the winning T-shirt design will also win an internship at Robin Ruth's New York headquarters.
Up to three additional student designs will also be produced and sold in the retail market.
The student whose design sells the most T-shirts after one year on the market will win $10,000. This prize will be funded from a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the first 2,000 #AUshirt.
The public can vote for designs on the Auburn University Facebook page and the Auburn University athletics Facebook page.
