Design Tumblr’s Next T-Shirt

tumblr t-shirt contest

Tumblr, the people that practically invented that niche between micro-blogging and blogging, are holding a design contest to find their next official t-shirt. Designs must be submitted by April 18th, and the prize is 25 of your own shirt when BustedTees print it. I know, it’s a kind of weird prize, why would you want 25 of the same shirt? Couldn’t Tumblr have offered the winner (who will presumably will be a fan of the service) some of their premium options (like a theme) along with the prize?

Dr. Jekyll and Mister Cute by vinsse for LaFraise

lafraise t-shirt

I know, I know, two laFraise designs in a week, but it’s hardly me fault that they’re knocking them out of the park at the moment. I like the transition of having a serious and kinda artsy design transitioning into a cutesy design at the back with the bear, which is traditionally a more feared beast than a man (at least in reality if not most tee designs).

A big list of t-shirt design contests

Giant List of T Shirt Design Contests The T Shirt Review 1262540483552 480x462 A big list of t shirt design contests

I was going to put together a list like this myself, but fortunately (because it would have been a lot of work) Rude Retro have done the work for me and written a post which lists 42 different t-shirt design contests, how much you’d earn if you won the contest, and how often contest winners are announced. It’s a little sparse in terms of information for some of the tee brands, and I’d like to see a few pictures in the post (as I have the focus of a 12 year old) but nevertheless it’s a good resource for people people on the hunt for a design contest that isn’t Threadless or Design By Humans.

Tilteed are killing it, tees for $8!

by Andy on November 27, 2009

in Coupon Codes

singing600 480x240 Tilteed are killing it, tees for $8!

One of my favourite new design contests, Tilteed, usually have a tee on sale for $12 for it’s first week of sale (technically a pre-order) after which point it goes up to $18 with the rest of the shirts that they’ve printed in the past. However, up until December 1st (at least) ALL the tees in their store are $12, which seems to be the fashion this week amongst design competitions this week, BUT you can get another $4 off by using the coupon code wootRules at the checkout, making their shirts just $8 a pop, and Tilteed have great shipping rates, just $2 for your entire order no matter how many tees you order or where you live. Their latest winner (pictured) is pretty sweet, so you might want to put that into your basket now. [via Tee Junction]

Holiday Sale at Design By Humans, tees from $12

27.11.2009

Hmmm, $12, where have we heard that before? In Design By Humans sale not all the tees are $12, the options are $12, $15 and $17, but that’s still a good deal so whose counting… other than me, obviously. I’m pretty sure DBH are a Californian company, so you’ve got until midnight PST on Monday [...]

Rachel Bilson on a t-shirt, good times?

15.11.2009

This tee has Rachel Bilson on it, who is both cute and was on the O.C., so I should like this tee, but I feel like they’ve messed up with the placement. On the original submission (you can see it on the product page) the print was much bigger and the cut off was practically [...]

Happy Yeti Shirt by Tilteed

14.11.2009

For me, one of the biggest issues with there being so many t-shirt design competitions is that it’s really hard for me to keep up with what they’re releasing, I don’t even know how I saw this tee, but Tilteed aren’t one of my regularly visited sites so I must have seen it randomly, but [...]

Metaphysics by gums for LaFraise

13.10.2009

I’m not actually that into this design, but I really want to help getting the word out that laFraise are selling hoodies now, because I would imagine that when most people think of a design competition they could get a hoodie from they’d think of Threadless, and whilst their hoodies are pretty good, it’s always [...]

All You Need Is… a hoodie from LaFraise

01.10.2009

You see, the name of this hoodie is “All You Need Is…” I thought I’d better point that out so that you realsied just how awesome the title of this post is, I expect people using Google Reader to ‘like’ this post purely on that basis. This isn’t actualy the first hoodie that laFraise have [...]

The Great Escape by jun087 for ShirtFight

18.09.2009

Somehow I missed this when it first came out, so sorry you didn’t have the chance to pick it up when it was $10 cheap, but even at $18 it looks good enough to be considered something of a bargain, another hit from the ShirtFight crew! There’s an allegation from someone in the comments for [...]

Please Sir, Play Me the Blues by mrdavenport for Shirt Fight

10.09.2009

I don’t mention Shirt Fight nearly enough, which is kind of what I said about when they made their debut on HYA, but if they’re going to keep producing cool tees like this one then I promise I’ll try and keep on top of them better in the future, for real this time! Costiness=$18 Available [...]

csj89 wins the DBH10k with Mecha-Labaw

04.09.2009

For me, this result is a bit of a surprise. Let’s be quite clear, I like csj89′s work, but I didn’t think it was the strongest design in the final four (and I would have happily swapped it for some of the designs that made it through to the top 10), but clearly all of [...]

Here’s the winner of LaFraise’s €15k competition

03.09.2009

Well, I wouldn’t have picked this as the winner of laFraise €15,000 contest but I wasn’t a judge, so my opinion counts for nought, but congratulations to Piu Piu anyway on the win. I’m not saying it’s a bad design by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just not the one I would have picked. [...]

I actually have no problem with t-shirt design contests, I know a lot of people take issue with them because it’s a form [...]

Party Machines by Alanis for Shirt Fight

06.07.2009

I haven’t actually mentioned Shirt Fight before, I’ve got no idea why because looking through their catalogue they’ve got some great designs, so expect to see more of them. Ever since completing the epic ‘101 Robots T-Shirts List‘ there seems to have been a flurry of robo-tees popping up in my browser, so I may [...]
