*THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER A SUBMISSION*
I have teamed up with GAMAGO to give away a very cool prize to one lucky winner. One of their talented artist’s, Wednesday Kirwan (check out her portfolio, it’s delightful!), has drawn this original pen and ink illustration featuring two of their iconic characters specifically to be given away in this competition.
GAMAGO are gearing up to release their Fall 2011 collection (debuting next week), but you can consider this competition a sneak peek because the hand drawn illustration above is going to be one of the shirts in that collection.
As ever, I want to make it as easy for you guys to enter the contest and have a chance of winning this one-of-a-kind prize. All you have to do is think of a caption to go with the design (it has a yeti and a dinosaur on it, feel free to let your imagination run wild), and submit it using the form below. The winner of the competition will be judged by me to have submitted the best caption to go with the illustration.

The competition is open for entries between now and midnight GMT next Wednesday (August 17th), there are no restrictions on where you have to be to enter (by which I mean anyone, anywhere in the world, may enter). Usually I say people may enter my competitions just once per e-mail address, but as this competition will be judged I encourage you to submit as many times as you wish. Please make sure that you include a working
e-mail address with your submission, as the winner will be contacted via e-mail, and if that e-mail bounces back, I will pick another winner. Of course, I will not be using the e-mails for any reason other than to notify the winners, once the contest is over I’ll delete the submissions so I retain none of the addresses. Upon notification the winner must respond within 3 working days otherwise I will have to pick another winner. I think that should cover everything, if you have a question please leave a comment below and I will answer it as soon as possible.

I have teamed up with PLNDR, the daily-deal site offering premium streetwear at up to 80% off, to give away $150 of PLNDR cash to spend on their site any way you choose!
Yes, that’s free clothing, just for sending out a tweet and signing up to PLNDR with this special link. You have to use the special link otherwise PLNDR won’t be able to track who has signed up because of this competition, so make sure you use this link otherwise your entry will not be counted. The tweet that you need to send out is the following:
I want to win $150 of @plndrmembers cash thanks to @hideyourarms! http://bit.ly/m7JBID Pls RT
I signed up to take a look at PLNDR and you know what? They have got some really good stuff on sale, and it’s so cheap that even I might buy something, and I almost never buy clothes. Usually when a site claims to have 80% off that is a very, very rare occurrence, but I have found a few 80% off items, and a lot of 77% off items (which is close enough), so these guys are the real deal (and they’re affiliated with Karmaloop, so you know they’re legit). I’m going to have to keep a closer eye on PLNDR and post about them more in the future because I’m really impressed with the goods available at prices that a too hard to pass up.
This competition is open for one week from today until Monday July 11th Friday July 15th* at midnight GMT, is limited to one entry per person, and can be entered by anyone living in a country that PLNDR ship to (list here), you can enter if you don’t live in those countries, but there isn’t much point since you wouldn’t be able to buy any of the clothes. Only PLNDR signups through this special link will count as an entry to this competition. This winner will be decided by PLNDR, their decision is final.
* Competition extended due to me not being able to give the competition the attention it deserved.

Ahhh, a quote post, you know it’s Friday!

We’re getting pretty close to Christmas now, so I thought it was about time I spread some festive cheer in the only way I know how, by giving away a t-shirt whilst gaining more followers for my Twitter account, it’s like a modern day Dickensian tale!
Almost 2,000 people follow @hideyourarms already, who are clearly happy to receive updates about t-shirt deals (some of which aren’t shared on this blog), new HYA posts as soon as they go live, and insights into my fabulous lifestyle, and I thought it was about time to reward them by giving them the chance to win a t-shirt from Threadless (and entice a few new followers at the same time).
The prize is one t-shirt of the winners choosing from Threadless, and to be eligible for the competition all you need to do is follow @hideyourarms on Twitter, and tweet the following message:
Win a t-shirt from @threadless! Follow @hideyourarms and RT to enter the competition! http://bit.ly/i0nZr1 #hyacomp
Terms & Conditions:
Each time to tweet the above message you will receive one entry into the giveaway, but please do not spam your followers, we all know how annoying that is, I suggest that you don’t tweet the message more than once a day.
The competition is open from now until Friday December 17th at 23:59 (GMT), tweets after that time and date will not be counted.
The winner MUST be following @hideyourarms, I will be notifying the winner by DM, and if you aren’t following I can’t message you.
Following notification by DM, the winner has 3 days to reply, otherwise a new winner will be selected and the initial winner will have forfeited their prize.
The competition is open to anyone, anywhere in the world that Threadless will ship a package to.
I will randomly pick a winner from all the tweets using the random.org service. Each entry/tweet will be assigned a number, and I will randomly generate a number to find the winner.
The winner may pick one t-shirt from the Threadless catalogue (excluding from the Select line), or two t-shirts if they choose from the $5 section.
Now go get tweeting, and if you aren’t a Twitterer don’t worry, there’ll be another competition next week, and maybe even the week after that!
I don’t know why I cover
laFraise‘s weekly releases when I don’t do the same for
Threadless or Design By Humans, or the rest of the myriad of design competitions out there, I guess its because no one else really touches laFraise, probably because they’re still stubbornly ignoring American shoppers (the
laFraise US store isn’t current enough to carry anything from the past few months of releases). I don’t know why they’re not given the praise that they so clearly deserve by the tee world, they consistently print some fantastic designs (Black Colors, one of this weeks designs, is particularly beautiful), get lots of great, well-known artists designing for them, and their prize package certainly isn’t to be sniffed at either.

*Whilst we’re talking about competitions, here’s a reminder that you’ve less than a week to enter the Philadelphia contest to win a Threadless t-shirt and $50 gift certificate.
