Got an eye for design or just a head full of great ideas? Now’s your moment! PSOAS is running a competition to find a new overall patch – and you could be the one to create it.
The winning design will be produced as an overall patch by PSOAS, and the winner receives a €100 S-group gift card. 🎁
Who can enter? 🎨
The competition is open to all PSOAS residents with an active tenancy agreement during the competition period. Each resident may submit multiple entries.
The patch must clearly show the text PSOAS. For inspiration, think about everything PSOAS – values, housing, services, or PSOAS as part of Oulu’s cityscape. Your entry must be your own work though – AI is not allowed! 🚫🤖
How to enter? 📬
Send your entry by email to markkinointi@psoas.fi with the subject “Overall patch competition” by 29 March 2026 at 23:59.
Your email should include:
- The designer’s name
- Alias or name to be credited if your design wins
- Design file as an attachment (SVG, PDF or PNG, min. 300 dpi, max 20 MB)
- A short description of your entry (optional)
By entering the competition, you agree to the competition rules.
Selection and voting 🗳️
PSOAS will select finalists from all entries – then everyone gets to vote for the winner. Finalists are chosen based on technical quality, creativity, and how well the design meets the content requirements. The winner will be contacted once voting has closed.
