This will be the official thread for display and voting. I'll place the entries here in the order received with the screenname of the designer, the category and the "title" of the work. If there is no title, I'll make one up.

Category 1 entries will be first, followed by category 2.
Voting will open as stated in the contest rules which I'll update here in a minute or two.

PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING IN HERE EXCEPT VOTES. DESIGNERS SHOULD POST THEIR ENTRIES HERE.
DO NOT VOTE UNTIL YOU SEE A POST FROM ME THAT SAYS, "VOTING OPEN" AT WHICH TIME YOU SHOULD VOTE AND ENTER COMMENTS IF YOU CHOOSE.


Contest Details

There are two categories-

1. 3-colors or less designs- Metallic, relfective okay. No gradients.
2. 4 colors or more designs- No metallic or reflective. Gradients okay but discouraged. Less is often much, much more. We don't mean 4 color process here. Four visible colors.


Voting Guidelines:

Please vote for one design in each category like this:

2. "designer screenname" "insert title here "

Great, thanks. I sent the one I had, but have no way to make a vector image.

Let me know if you have any problem "ordering."
Production will take about 2 weeks give or take a few days.

Get your art to me if you haven't as all prize badges will be produced together, so you'll be holding up your fellow winners if you dawdle.


Suggestion- Measure one of your Tshirts that fits the way you like. Compare to chart. Place your free order for your prizes here.

 

When I tried to 'order' with the coupon code "DESIGNER" I recieved the error 'The Coupon Code designer does not apply to any item currently in your shopping cart.'

Just a question, but how do you know that its the right people doing the 'ordering?'
