@astrogirl – I think awarding a talented designer with €15,000 is a great idea and I also think you have some misconceptions about how laFraise works. All of the designers who submit designs aren’t designing for laFraise for free – they retain their rights and designs if they aren’t chosen. The laFraise community and laFraise employees (and not Spreadshirt employees) choose one winner (and in this special contest the complete rights to the design are actually bought from the designer). laFraise then prints only that design from the many submissions.
The rest of your comments are quite outlandish, but I certainly would be interested in hearing these supposed rumors you’ve heard.

Who came up with this “idea” ? That means you will have hundreds of people designing for you for free. Only one winner? Besides, for €15,000 every hacker on the planet will do whatever it takes to hack your voting system and win, including employee insiders in Spreadshirt may attempt to steal the prize using fake submissions, your own company is the weakest link. And I heard rumors about you snobs at Spreadshirt, I don’t think I will be sharing my precious designs with this kind of people. Sorry.
