T-Shirt Contest - Design Theme: Bikes not Bombs - District Cotton - Ends: 9/10/07
District Cotton is a t-shirt company focused on selling both organic t-shirts and has a “strict labor compliance policy for all the goods” they sell to promote fair trade t-shirts. District Cotton is holding a t-shirt contest to raise money and awareness of the organization Bikes not Bombs in Boston. The theme of the contest is bikes! You can create a design that is about bikes or bike riding. The winning design will be printed on one of District Cotton’s organic cotton t-shirts and they will win $200 cash and $50 certificate for District Cotton apparel.
10% percent of the “proceeds” will go to Bikes not Bombs. I am not sure exactly what they mean by “proceeds” but let’s hope it is of gross sales and not synonymous with “profits” because that is REALLY low. If someone is having a contest with the intention of donating and marketing it as such they should be giving at least 51% of all profits.
You can check out all of District Cotton contests and if you want to learn more about Bikes Not Bombs you can visit their web site at
www.bikesnotbombs.org.
Don’t hesitate, t-shirt contest entries must be received by September 10, 2007.
Design a T-Shirt Graphics Challenge at About.com (no prize)
Well, I am not sure I get the point of the graphics challenge to design a t-shirt. I get the impression that folks who follow the Graphics Software forum at About.com do the graphics challenges just for kicks. There is no prize, award, just satisfaction that you completed a graphics challenge. Regardless, we are going to include the details of the contest.
The organizer has provided an image of a t-shirt on a man as the base image and you can add your creation to the t-shirt and post in the About forums. The idea is to experiment and learn from each other ideas for creating designs for t-shirts. Users can submit as many versions as they want (since there is no prize, just street cred from your peers.
View the details of the T-Shirt Challenge.
