About Design Wazoo

It's fun to design graphic figures. We would like you to design your version of our mascot positively using technology. Stay with our theme and have him doing something positive with technology to help himself or others.

Here are some examples that students have designed in the past.

Questions from WSU students regarding eScholarship

Q. 1) To create a video is it required to have a team? 2) Can I have other people in my video that are not WSU students?

A. 1) No—you do not need to use a “team”. If you wish to create a video yourself that is fine. We just say that “up to 4” students can form a team for this category. 2) You can have whoever and whatever you want (that falls within the guidelines) in your video. Only eligible WSU students would actually win $1,000.
