Then again you could try getting a load of bare chested friends to paint t-shirts on each other, if you feature SC’s designs you’ll probably get in their good books too. If you design t-shirts there’s always animation to consider, who knows, Teezilla attacks Tokyo?

3rd Prize Р€50 voucher and a Video Deluxe 15 Premium package.

Every runner up who’s put a modicum of effort in wins a free t-shirt

As with ScribTee.com (The Threadless style voting section of ShirtCity.com) the winners are chosen by popular vote, but you’ll need to be a member of DailyMotion.com to join in the fun, either as contributor or voter. To submit your vids visit Video.ShirtCity.com and make sure you read their terms and conditions, i.e no sexy stuff most likely

If you’re really really smart you’ll submit a t-shirt design at ScribTee, then create a video that features your design in someway, then even if you don’t win the video contest you will have a far greater chance of winning their design contest, or at least getting yourself a whole heap of extra exposure. Remember that ShirtCity/ScribTee, DailyMotion and SC’s affiliates will be plugging these videos as part of their latest savvy marketing campaign. Rather a smart idea all round. The contest runs till the end of the year which is kind of cheap of them, I’m sure they could afford to do this a few more times this year, ah well maximum exposure at minimum expense is probably the rule of thumb for most business gurus out there (I wouldn’t know).

I wish that SC would get a hang of their domain name management tools, Scribtee.com still comes up in the browser as a rather ugly dynamic url at ShirtCity.com… http://www.shirtcity.com/shop/index.php?sc4_start=us_idcom, but I suppose it’s down to their tracking software, i.e cookies for country of origin etc. Still, it confuses the hell out of most people I’ve sent there.

While I’m at it Robert Goldbach (one of the guys behind ShirtCity.com) wanted me to feature a couple of their latest submissions to make the grade at ScribTee, and normally I’d avoid such biased recommendations but I have to admit these two are rather gorgeous!
