we gotta do that again, it was so much fun.
couple of months, it needs more preparation and rules.
there is an upcoming tee-off between myself and my_design, topic is "cunt" keep a look out!
as far as best competitions? MINE, everyone send me shirts and ill keep the ones i like,tell everyone how awesome it is, and how awesome you are, and send back the ones i dont like. see, everybody wins!
from what ive heard, design by humans. not only they accept one shirt a day but if you win, shirt.woot will probably contact you and want to design for them. its a double win. again thats what ive heard...

Most of the designs posted here at Emptees seems very suitable for Design By Humans.
I havent spent much time on Woot, but I guess their audience are similar to Threadless. So you might want to put some puns/jokes onto your design.
I was thinking that but the guys at threadless seem pretty chill, if the design doesnt work I can take the design off and put it somewhere else... might as well start of with the contest that offers up 2k
shirtfilms said: which pro and cons have threadless?
Pros:
- 2000 Cash with $500 store credit
- Most popular design comp. More people will see your design and come to your website
- Sometimes it is a nice to place to chill at their blog/forums
- Cool people working for Threadless. You can interact with them at their blog forums
Cons:
- Hard to win
- Most winning designs consist of puns/jokes/cutesy elements of some sorts. So you might consider having those elements in your designs to satisfy the voters
- lots of emo kids.

thats true I usually wait it out till the 90 days r up but if you get antsee you can e-mail them and get it released before the 90 days is up.

yeah DBH still hasnt paid me despite my emails. I cant find a number to call. This makes me sad. And Im not sure who to contact about this. Has anyone encountered this? I feel like kind of a bitch posting this on a message board but for real. Its not like they owe me $20 or something

email them one more time asking for a response then let us know on here.

That happened to me but payment was delayed around 2 weeks after they printed my shirt.

Isnt that sort of bullshit though? Ive sent about six emails this week and they wont even give me a response and say "hey sorry, well pay you this day?" When you say youre going to pay someone within a certain amount of time, as a business, you do it. Or you hug and kiss and apologize to who you owe and tell them when you pay them. Not leave them in the dark to gripe about it on message boards
Yeah. And my shirts been up for sale for 11 days now? It just is disheartening cause I was real pumped about DBH and now it makes me want to use other contests, I just hope they email me back today
same here, was really chuffed to win and all seemed good back a lack of email response is pretty bad, i can understand theyre probably really busy but it doesnt take much to send a quick response! regardless I will still use the site cos they did a great job with my tee.

Threadless is the hardest bunch to win IMO. You really got to study what the voters want.
