Competitions

The Con Artist Collective (who have loads of cool stuff in their store) are giving away the t-shirt you can see above, the style of which gives it away immediately that it’s by one of my favourite tee designers, Greg Abbott.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is like their Facebook page and then enter giveaway (it’s the top post on the page at the moment, I think it’s been stickied). The giveaway is open until January 21st but you might as well enter now, why bother waiting?

You might have noticed that I haven’t mentioned the South African design competition Springleap for a while, and whilst I’m sure they were releasing tees regularly the whole time, it felt from their e-mails like they were focusing more on the branded contests that weren’t necessarily clothing based so I stopped paying good attention to them. However, now that they’re going to be releasing tees on a regular basis again in an open format I’ll be keeping tabs on them again.

For some time now, Springleap has been attracting a wide spread of designers to their branded contests, but designers interested in open theme contests have waited for their open themes to resume. The good news is that they’re back, with a sweet prize.

Having relaunched the contests with ‘Open Theme Strikes Back!’, designs have been rolling in and if those submitted so far are anything to go by, the $1000 prize for the winner of the contest is getting the attention of some top tee designers. These contests will be held every 3 months, in addition to branded contests that offer even bigger prizes. On top of this, the Springleap team has also launched Voxpop – their monthly prize of a $50 tee voucher for the design fan that votes, shares and comments the most.

If you’ve got design or want to share the love, get over to Springleap and check out the work on show!

I do like that idea of rewarding commenters, that should help with community engagement.

Icon Printing have a great opportunity for a UK graduate to kickstart their dreams of running a t-shirt label with this huge t-shirt design contest running throughout June. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

- £1000 worth of printed t-shirts with their design, courtesy of IconPrinting and Continental Clothing

- 1 years subscription to a Shopify store

- An ASOS Marketplace boutique rent-free for 1 year

- Mentorship from successful t-shirt brand Millionhands

- Exposure from It’s Nice That

- A t-shirt stand at the next Glug event

- £100 worth business cards from Moo.com

That’s an impressive prize package, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of it’s size from a UK competition before so it’s great to see Icon pushing this forward and getting some impressive partners involved with the contest, and hopefully in the end of it all we’ll end up with a cool t-shirt brand in a couple of years. The deadline for submissions is July 1st so you have a month to put together your finest t-shirt design before it goes in front of the judging board.

I’ve written about this Stanley Kubrick t-shirt from Socialfabrik in the past, and now it’s your chance to get one for free in their Facebook-based competition. Here’s the details:

To be in with a chance of winning, entrants need to simply follow the link http://bit.ly/11HG7kl
or click the ‘Win a T-shirt’ app tab on the Socialfabrik Facebook page (www.facebook.com/Socialfabrik)
and “Like’ the page via the app.

The contest runs until July 1st 2012, the winner will be drawn at random and will be notified 48 hours after the draw.

I’d say that it’s worth a ‘like’ wouldn’t you?
