The votes have been tallied, and after much deliberation, the UFS is proud to announce Gift Taku as the winner of the 2019 KovsieGear Designer of the Year (DOTY) Competition!
Tshepo Zwane and Jacobeth Selinga won second and third place respectively, with innovative designs that complied with the assessment requirements, based on originality of the design, adherence to the brand guidelines, creativity, and other criteria.
Gift’s design triumphed with 845 votes on the UFS KovsieLife webpage, as well as in the presentation in front of a judging panel.
Since 2016, KovsieGear has been discovering local (UFS staff and students) graphic designers and giving them a platform to showcase their work through DOTY, which runs annually. The aim of the competition is to support local talent by giving entrants an opportunity to come up with creative designs that are unique to the university and which will be used on limited-edition apparel in the store, as well as getting featured in the KovsieGear catalogue.
The competition has since fashioned the best clothing-logo designs the university has ever seen and continues to motivate and empower students to make positive contributions to the Kovsie campus culture and brand.

Three of them, Matshediso Mothibi, Soyiso Khethoa and Makae Maema from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates for achieving symbol C while Chumo Loyiso Madadasana from Springfontein Secondary School, Themba Mdwaba and Morapedi Mokheseng also from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates, trophies and R10 000 bursaries each for getting distinctions. These top achievers were part of the Investec-sponsored Investec / RIEP Southern Free State Project which started in 2006.
