Tee Blitz are a new comic art lovin’ time limited t-shirt store which hasn’t quite launched yet, however they’re holding a couple of t-shirt contests right now, one involves signing up to their newsletter and “introducing” 3 friends via a form on their homepage. The other, for a far lesser prize but still worth the trouble, will help them decide which version of their first t-shirt is better, “red or black?“.

Black vs Red Tees

I’m guessing the finished product will be called “High Voltage” judging by the names of the product images. Nice style, I prefer the red one myself. I’m not sure if this design is by Dan Norton, but they do mention him quite a bit at their blog. To win one of 5 of these tees just do this – but do it by the 3rd of March!

• Follow @teeblitz1
• Tweet: “I just entered to win 1 of 5 #FREE t-shirts from @teeblitz1 – check out the shirts and get all the details. http://bit.ly/iiJrwY“

That’s it! Two simple steps for a chance to win one of these awesome tees. Tweet/Retweet daily to qualify for each day’s give way!

I don’t know much about Prawspektiv.com but they seem a friendly enough bunch, based in Europe (I’m guessing France by the language options) and offering up a bloody enormous $5000 prize for their first design winner. The contest starts on the 11th of February 2011 so there’s’ plenty of time to think up some genius designs – heh. I do know this – they want very detailed designs – so you’d better get practising! If you want to know more then your best bet is to follow them on Twitter or fan them at Facebook. Until then this flyer will have to keep you satisfied :0

Host Your Own T-Shirt Design Contest?

I received a rather exciting email from Eddie Miles at 99designs.com yesterday and it didn’t take me long to clock what all the commotion is about. 99designs is offering anyone the chance to hold their own t-shirt design contest starting at the very reasonable price of $211 per project. 99designs.com is already big on the net, they’re way up there in traffic ratings, but even they’ve noticed a massive spike since introducing the service.

“We’ve been having several tee designers and tee stores crowdsourcing their ideas and inspiration through our design community instead of doing it themselves. ..now that anyone with a general idea of business (not creativity) can start a tee line.”

There’s the beauty of the service, anyone can start a highly popular t-shirt brand, no more begging to commission top designers from sites like Threadless, now they will come to you! 99designs will help you host a “design contest” where thousands of designers compete to create a design you love, or your money back! Here’s how it all works:-

Spring Is In The Air – Leap Over To SpringLeap T-Shirts

admin    T-Shirt Reviews     Spring Leap, Springleap.com, T-Shirt Contests, T-Shirt Designers, design t-shirts, springleap, t-shirt community, t-shirt competition, t-shirt store

I’ve been a fan of Springleap.com for quite a while now, and I must admit they’ve gone through leaps and bounds (excuse the pun) over the last year. Springleap are based in South Africa, the only t-shirt contest / fulfilment site on the continent, and it’s fantastic to see that the major players in the USA have finally found themselves some real competition on their hands. For a start it can only drive up the quality of t-shirt designs across the whole market.

For a starters they’ve been generous enough to supply us with a couple of excellent deals for all you lucky readers!

Firstly a whopping 20% off all orders for the next month and a permanent 10% off all orders FOREVER!

Furthermore they provide a unique and refreshing view on t-shirt design and graphic design in general, the truth is the standard of design at this unique t-shirt label has rocketed over the past 12 months, and I have to tip my hat to them (if I had a hat) for the incredible achievements they’ve made in their eventful rise to the top. Not only has their presence on the Net exploded, with an enormously popular Alexa traffic ranking floating around the 40K mark at the moment, and almost 10,000 listings on Google, plus a phenomenal amount of press coverage. They’ve even branched out in to wholesale now and have started selling at two stores in South Africa.

If you’re looking for intelligent design, a progressive attitude to community building, extreme quality in both product design and production, then Springleap are a major contender, ignore them at your peril! This is one of the few t-shirt stores I actually enjoy rolling around, sure they have great tees, but there’s a superb amount of customer interaction here too, but first let’s take a look at some of their fabulous shirts! read more

Divine Tees at Bad as Hell Clothing

admin    T-Shirt News     T-Shirt Contests, T-Shirt Votes, Threadless, new t-shirt contest site, new threadless clone, submit t-shirt design

Charles Wu of BadAsHellClothing.com sent me a mail recently introducing his new site, I’m pretty well known for my love/hate (love winning / hate losing) relationship with Threadless and a gamut of similar stores out there, I’ve written a comprehensive list of the top sites in a recent article, but you can never get enough of a good thing, and I have to concede this BAHC are certainly off to a great start! Excellent designs and a generous cash prize certainly grabbed my attention and look to have a great future in the market.

Apart from the cool logo the first thing to hit me was the high standard of design at BAHC, Charles obviously feels the same as he’s picked six winners for his first month’s trading and every one of them is a real cracker. The top prize is a generous $600 ($500 cash and $100 vouchers), plus residuals that can amount to $1000 if they sell 550 or more of your design, or $1 per t-shirt if they sell 150. So well worth submitting your latest tees if you’re after some cash and kudos.

By the way check out the crazy logo, Charles can certainly practice what he preaches as BAHC so be sure you submit your very best works to get a crack at the top prize! Anyway on with the current winners at Bad As Hell… read more

Sex and Death at Threadless

That title should pull in the punters… I’ve just submitted my first design to Threadless.com – gawd knows if I have got it right, their submissions process seems to be the most complicated yet, no wonder the prizes are so high! I’m not in it for the money, but as I was saying to a fellow t-shirt nutter today, it has to be worth it just for PR alone, I’m talking publicity here, no Google rankings, although the two go hand-in-hand I suppose.

I received an email from Threadless.com describing their latest competition and I was pulled in head first. The theme is Sex and Death and the competition is on behalf of Fray.com – a true stories site – I’ll probably need a true story for my submission as I just went ahead and drew the first thing that came into my mind, and here it is… read more
