Annual Class Banner Competition

Class of 2029
Over the next four years, you’ll have countless opportunities to make your mark on campus—and this is your very first chance to leave a lasting impression.
Design a banner that proudly represents the Class of 2029, and showcases your class spirit throughout your time at Johns Hopkins. This year is especially meaningful, as the Class of 2029 is the 150th class to enter Hopkins—an incredible milestone in the university’s history.
Submit your banner design to reunion@jhu.edu by Tuesday, June 17 at 11:59 PM. A panel of alumni judges will select the top 10 designs, and then it’s up to you and your fellow classmates to vote for your favorite.
The winning design will be revealed during Orientation Week at Convocation and presented to the University President. From there, it will be proudly displayed on campus until your graduation—becoming part of Hopkins history.
