MINE, everyone send me shirts and i'll keep the ones i like,tell everyone how awesome it is, and how awesome you are, and send back the ones i don't like. see, everybody wins! 2638 Post 2008-04-16T10:35:47-04:00 67925 173 2008-04-16T10:35:47-04:00 woot has submissions? 2638 Post 2008-04-16T11:45:30-04:00 67957 40 2008-04-16T11:45:30-04:00 from what i've 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... 2638 Post 2008-04-16T11:47:31-04:00 67962 1876 2008-04-16T11:47:31-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Reilly said:</cite> woot has submissions?</blockquote> yeah in the derby. I still think it's threadless you can win a ton if your really good. last year a guy won over 30 grand. try them all out threadless designed by humans woot uneetee they all have there pros and cons. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T11:54:42-04:00 67970 3168 2008-04-16T11:54:42-04:00 I AM THE BEST DESIGN CONTEST!!!!111!!111 2638 Post 2008-04-16T13:48:50-04:00 68033 954 2008-04-16T13:48:50-04:00 haha, yeah I am going to submit my giant vs giant to threadless to see how it does... i need some guitar / tattoo money. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T13:52:48-04:00 68036 1140 2008-04-16T13:53:12-04:00 Threadless is the hardest bunch to win IMO. You really got to study what the voters want. Most of the designs posted here at Emptees seems very suitable for Design By Humans. I haven't 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. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T13:54:11-04:00 68038 2011 2008-04-16T13:54:11-04:00 <blockquote><cite>herman said:</cite> Threadless is the hardest bunch to win IMO.

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. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T14:34:02-04:00 68064 2011 2008-04-16T14:34:02-04:00 You technically can't submit your design to another contest after submitting it to Threadless until 90 (60?) days after scoring has completed. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T14:40:23-04:00 68066 486 2008-04-16T14:40:23-04:00 <blockquote><cite>Joe said:</cite> You technically can't submit your design to another contest after submitting it to Threadless until 90 (60?) days after scoring has completed.</blockquote> that's 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. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T14:45:32-04:00 68069 3168 2008-04-16T14:45:32-04:00 which pro and cons have 'Design by Humans'? 2638 Post 2008-04-16T15:02:08-04:00 68086 3719 2008-04-16T15:02:08-04:00 <blockquote><cite>shirtfilms said:</cite> which pro and cons have 'Design by Humans'?</blockquote> everyone seems to rip your work... haha. 2638 Post 2008-04-16T15:02:27-04:00 68087 1140 2008-04-16T15:02:27-04:00 <blockquote><cite>a killer wombat said:</cite> haha, yeah I am going to submit my giant vs giant to threadless to see how it does... i need some guitar / tattoo money.</blockquote> First, print me a copy.

I've sent about six emails this week and they won't even give me a response and say "hey sorry, we'll pay you this day?"
