Halloween Contest Winner Announced at ChoiceShirts - We All Carry a Monster Inside
Here is the lucky winner of $300 for the ChoiceShirts t-shirt design competition for Halloween of 2007. THe
The design beat out hundreds of other entries. For every purchase of the shirt that is made ChoiceShirts.com will donate $10 to the American Cancer Society.
Personally I like the phrase for Halloween but I am not a big fan of the font. It really doesn’t fit a very big audience and the green and purple don’t work for me. I would love to see it have more of a Halloween edge to it and maybe a little scarier. Anyway, congrats to the winner and I hope it sells a lot so Choiceshirts can make a sizable donation to the American Cancer Society.
