Hey everyone, Welcome to the forum for the [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) T-Shirt Design Contest. Here is where you will get a chance to submit your own entry, view other entries, and talk about other entries if you want to. Updates: [list][\*]**For more information about the contest, rules, etc. visit the following URL: [http://www.kirupa.com/contest/tshirt/index.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/contest/tshirt/index.htm)** [\*]When submitting your entry as a new thread, be sure to include your forum name in the TITLE of your thread. You are all creative people! Try to come up with imaginative titles besides “My entry” 🙂 [\*]The reason I want all the entries to be on the cafepress site is that, if I were to be interested in purchasing your t-shirt, I should be able to. Think of this as a larger graphic battle with a real-world application! [\*]Just to clarify, your cafepress T-Shirt is nothing more than a really big graphic(s) that you upload from your computer to your T-Shirt design. You don’t actually design the T-Shirt on the cafepress site.[/list] Besides that have fun and check this thread periodically for any updates, etc. that may occur. The contest will run from 5 November 2003 through 5 January 2004. Good luck! Kirupa 😉 ---

Could we use [this](http://www.t-shirts.com/blank/default.asp?sid=50534190804&cmd=detail&item=5004&color=BK) for our basic T-Shirt layout? [Click colours and then enlarge]. - Sunny:ch: ---

when you register @ CafePress you can enter a "Referral Store ID" to give credit. anyhin we should enter? dunno, maybe some kirupa store… btw: does it need to be a t-shirt or can it be a jersey ore something like that too ---

it has to be a t-shirt for this competition 🙂 You all are free to design other things, but they won’t be considered an entry for this contest. But if your other entries are good, after the contest, I can link to them also via the site. I don’t really know what you want to enter for the referral store. I have a sample store for experimentation at [http://www.cafepress.com/kirupa](http://www.cafepress.com/kirupa) that you can use as a referrer if you want, but if you have other friends or acquaintances you want to support, feel free to refer them instead. ---

from the rules: “1. The designer submits his/her animation…” maybe change last word into T-shirt or picture… 😉 I’ll make one. Sometime. Later. Soon. ---

Hey, Kirupa, My thread, the one that’s “Trying not to be noobish” should probably have the title of my t-shirt entry… sorry 'bout that… just letting you know. ---

Some stuff you should probably consider when creating a shirt: Is the font too small? Will people be able to read it from a reasonable distance on the actual shirt? Would anybody actually want to wear this shirt? Is it wearable by both sexes? Is the graphic something that looks good on a shirt, or does it appear out of place on a t-shirt? Just some things I thought might help. ---

I can’t find any rule stating that you should put your design on a baggy, white T-Shirt (and thus rendering it never-wearable) or is that a cafepress limitation :? ---

I suggest all participants to use the “fitted shirt” instead of the “white t-shirt.” I ordered a “white t-shirt” once and it was a cheap Hanes undershirt. The “fitted shirt” should be one that is wearable in public… [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/t-shirt-design-contest/34861.md?page=2)
