+# Sticker Contest
+
+
+## Sticker Contest Rules:
+
+- Participation in the EuroBioC2026 sticker contest is voluntary.
+- The contest winner will receive a registration fee waiver for the European
+Bioconductor Conference 2026. This prize cannot be exchanged for cash or any
+other benefits related to the conference.
+- The winner is responsible for covering their own travel and accommodation
+expenses for the conference.
+- If the winner is unable to attend the conference in 2026, the registration fee
+waiver cannot be deferred.
+The winning design will be selected by the EuroBioC2026 organising committee.
+- The winning sticker will be added to the Bioconductor stickers GitHub
+repository at
+[https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers](https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers)
+and licensed under the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain License.
+- The EuroBioC2026 organising committee will vote for the winning design based
+on relevance and creativity.
+- All non-winning designs relevant to the conference may be displayed on the
+Gallery page (should we create one) of the EuroBioC2025 website with
+attributions to the submitter. All participants have the opportunity to opt out
+of their submissions being shared in the Gallery.
+- As part of our collaborative process, if your design is selected, we may
+collaborate on minor adjustments (e.g., font size, color, layout) to ensure the
+final design aligns with EuroBioC2026 branding while honouring your original
+vision.
+- You may use generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to create your design.
+However, please be prepared to make any minor tweaks requested by the organising
+committee.
+
+## Sticker Contest Guidelines:
+- Submit your design by **January 31st, 2026** (in PDF or SVG) through the
+submission form. Maximum file size: 5MB.
+- Designs should be relevant to the EuroBioC2026 conference. Previous conference
+designs generally include a reference to the conference location.
+- Include a brief description of your design and its inspiration (optional). 
+- Unless otherwise stated, the logo design will be licensed under a CC0 1.0
+Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain License.
+- The design should be hex-shaped. Some examples can be seen in the Bioconductor
+stickers repo
+[here](https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers?tab=readme-ov-file#stickers-for-events).
+- The height of the final image should be 5cm. 
+- Ideally, the position of the conference name text (bottom line) should be 18mm
+from the top of the image.
+- Some suggestions for color definitions:
