Press release first, my thoughts second:

It’s back - the XLarge Design Contest - your chance to gain immortality within the echelons of designers like Angela Johnson, G. Dan Covert, Billy Valdez, Rory Wilson and the winner last time, Winston Acosta.

GET STARTED! Check out the contest entry page and use the design templates to create your own original design. Post them up using the form. On June 30th, 2008 we’ll review the submissions and announce a winner. Entries will be judged on originality and sauce.

The grand prize winner will see his or her print make it into production for our Spring 09 season. They will receive a bunch of shirts and a $100 Gift Cerfiticate to the XLarge.com website. Three runners up will receive $25 Gift Certificates to the website and due props for nearly making it.

You can enter as often as you like. Don’t forget to read the rules before you enter.

Good luck!

Is it just me, or does that prize seem more than a little stingy to you? Considering that XLarge aren’t exactly a small operation, just look at the amount of stores they have, and that list doesn’t include other retails locations they’re stocked in. I guess that being able to say that you’ve designed a tee for XLarge would look good in a portfolio simply because they’re a respected name, but considering this tee is going to be in their Spring 09 collection I’d expect the prize to include something you could pay the bills with too.

Mimoco x Tokidoki Sweepstakes

I’ve just spotted that Josh Spear are running a mimobot competition too, but this one requires a little more creative thought. You need to go to this page and leave a comment discussing what the mimobot in the picture are doing, just write a little story. There was only been 10 comments when I wrote this post, so you’ve got a decent chance of winning, as long as you get your entry in before May 5th.
