St. Patrick’s Day Design Contest

Soon it will be that time of the year when green beer flows and when people buy a plethora of Irish themed T-shirts.  In the general spirit of this holiday we’re announcing the St. Patrick’s Day Design Contest.  Here is how it works:

We’d like you to create a St. Patrick Day design, submit it to the Spreadshirt Marketplace and tag it with STPATTYCONTEST.  We will then select 3 winners and award the following prizes:

  1. One of three 1st positions in the Bestseller category in the Spreadshirt Designer between February 25th and March 17th (One of our most trafficked areas on the site)
  2. One of three 1st positions in the Holidays & Occasions/St. Patrick’s Day category in the Spreadshirt Designer February 25th and March 17th
  3. Winner’s design featured in a Spreadshirt St. Patrick’s Day Newsletter sent to Spreadshirt’s house list (Date TBD)
  4. Design will be featured in the main teaser on Spreadshirt.com homepage
  5. One coupon for a free product ($35 value + free standard domestic shipping)

Basic Rules

  1. Contest officially starts on February 5th and ends on Feb 19th, 2010. Spreadshirt will announce the winners on February 19th, 2010.
  2. Your design must be submitted to the Spreadshirt Marketplace and tagged with STPATTYCONTEST during the above period.
  3. Designs should be closely or loosely related to the themes surrounding the idea of the St. Patrick’s Day.  Be creative.  A generic green clover will definitely not win you the prize.
  4. The winners will be picked by Spreadshirt staff based on following criteria:
  5. Creativity and Originality (New and previously unsubmitted designs have preference)
  6. Versatility (Invites customization - provokes thought for adding text or multiple designs)
  7. Market Appeal  (Immediately attracts attention from the viewer)
  8. Applicability to Apparel (Design can be used on a wide variety of apparel items)
  9. Production ( Vector designs are preferred )

Have fun and let the best design win.
