T-shirt Design Contest - Wetpaint Central



Greetings, all you crafty and creative Wetpainters!

Below are rules and guidelines for entering the Wetpaint T-Shirt Design Contest, in which you -- yes, you! -- could win $200 and the glory of having your design plastered to the bodies of countless warm-blooded fellow Wetpaint users!

Make sure you carefully read the guidelines and rules so your entry is official! Good luck, and we're itching to see all your fantastic Wetpaint-inspired creations!

How It Works
How to Enter
  • You create a Wetpaint T-shirt design (see guidelines and idea starters below).
  • Join this site and upload your design as an image (allowable formats: .jpg, .png., or .gif) to this photo album (click "add photos to album") on or before August 15, 2008.
  • A panel of Wetpaint employees and Wetpaint superpainters will judge the pool of design entries.
  • The top three designs from this initial judging round will then be presented to the larger Wetpaint community for a popular vote.
  • The winning design will be produced as the official 2008 Wetpaint T-shirt.
  • For other contest details, please see the participation terms and conditions section below.
The Prizes

  • Everlasting bragging rights for creating the first-ever community-designed Wetpaint T-shirt -- that right there might be enough to retire on...

Design Guidelines

We're looking for a unique design that captures the fun essence of Wetpaint, one that Wetpaint users, fans, and employees would wear with pride!

  • The maximum design area is 10" x 10" (25.4 cm x 25.4 cm).
  • Your design will be printed on the front of the T-shirt only.
  • You are welcome to incorporate the Wetpaint logo in your design, but using the logo isn't required -- we'll be featuring it on the back of the shirt.
  • Your design should contain a maximum of four (4) colors (plus the shirt color).

Submission & Judging
Submission

  • You can submit more than one design, but only one of your submitted designs will be eligible to be one of the top three chosen designs

    • Creativity
    • Originality
    • Effectiveness of conveying the essence of the Wetpaint brand
