OVEF Fundraiser Logo Contest

NerdLouisville, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to uplift education and foster community through the creative power of games, storytelling, and imagination. We’re committed to transforming Louisville, Kentucky, where creativity thrives, and everyone can find a place to belong.

In 2025, we’re asking our community of gamers, creators, and dreamers to help us in this mission by designing a unique, featured logo for an upcoming fundraiser. This event, for our friends at the Ohio Valley Educational Foundation (OVEF), will take place on March 15, 2025, and promises to bring together local educators and staff for a memorable experience—a live-streamed TTRPG (D&D5e) game, where the world of fantasy meets real-life heroes in education.

Your task? Design a logo that captures the spirit of this event, featuring a teal, fairy dragon named “FEVO” (that’s OVEF spelled backward!). The winning logo will be showcased throughout the event and in all promotional materials, giving you the chance to leave a lasting mark on a night of creativity, community, and celebration.

Together, let’s make this event unforgettable and inspire Louisville’s journey to nerd stardom. Welcome to NerdLouisville—a place where anyone can create, imagine, and belong.

The winning scenario will be played by a team of educators and staff from the Ohio Valley Educational Foundation (OVEF), with audience participation shaping the adventure in real time. Your story could take center stage and help Nerd Louisville raise funds for OVEF’s mission to support education in our community.
