Graniph, the t-shirt company who have the rather prodigious honour of being the only shop I actually bought a t-shirt from last year (and it wasn’t even for me!), are following up on last years design competition with… well, another design competition. I know that t-shirt design competitions are ten a penny nowadays, but there’s something a bit special about Graniph, their t-shirts are amazing, and they’re Japanese, which we all know makes things cooler by a factor of about seven (seriously, have you seen the Beams T store in Harajuku?). Here’s the details:

- Stole the rest I assume?!
That’s a serious amount of dosh for a first prize, even if you do need to physically send in a print.
Nope, I’m just lucky enough that people send me tees for review, which is one of the more fun perks of being a t-blogger.
