St. Patrick’s Day has most certainly become an international celebration. Parades, green rivers and merry imbibing of Irish drink have become common place around the world on 17th March. Green, Irish-themed t-shirts are no doubt part of the whole fun, and that’s where Spreadshirt U.S. comes in. Spreadshirt.com is running a St. Patrick’s Day T-Shirt Design Contest and, fitting well with the international holiday, should also include some European designers (that would be you). We shouldn’t let the Americans have all the fun!
This still remains a Spreadshirt U.S. design competition, but I invite you, if you haven’t already, to open an account there and submit your idea of a fun St. Patrick’s Day design. Here’s how the whole thing works:
Create a St. Patrick’s Day design, submit it to the Spreadshirt.com Marketplace and tag it with STPATTYCONTEST. We will then select 3 winners and award the following prizes:
- One of three 1st positions in the Bestseller category in the Spreadshirt.com T-Shirt Designer between 25th February and 17th March (One of our most trafficked areas on the site)
- One of three 1st positions in the Holidays & Occasions/St. Patrick’s Day category in the Spreadshirt Designer between 25th February and 17th March
- Winner’s design featured in a Spreadshirt.com St. Patrick’s Day Newsletter sent to Spreadshirt’s house list (Date TBD)
- Design will be featured in the main teaser on Spreadshirt.com homepage
- One coupon for a free product ($35 value + free standard domestic shipping)
Basic Rules
- Contest officially starts on 5th February and ends on 19th February 2010. Spreadshirt will announce the winners on 19th February 2010.
- Your design must be submitted to the Spreadshirt.com Marketplace and tagged with STPATTYCONTEST during the above period.
- 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.
- The winners will be picked by Spreadshirt.com staff based on following criteria:
- Creativity and Originality (New and previously unsubmitted designs have preference)
- Versatility (Invites customisation - provokes thought for adding text or multiple designs)
- Market Appeal (Immediately attracts attention from the viewer)
- Applicability to Apparel (Design can be used on a wide variety of apparel items)
- Production (Vector designs are preferred)
So, have a little fun. Take this opportunity to be placed well on the other side of the Atlantic and sell some fun green shirts to some merry Yanks.
