About IrateMonkey

How do I score submissions? Once you login to IrateMonkey, all you need to do is go to the ‘voting’ section and start reviewing the designs. Score them by selecting a response from ‘Ewww’, to ‘Awesome’ if you would definitely buy it. You are not actually obligated to buy the shirt, but we get a pretty good idea of how popular a design is from this option.

How are the winners chosen? IrateMonkey looks at the top few hundred designs every couple of weeks and picks from 6 to 10 shirts to print up. First we look at the voting score, the number of ‘Awesome’s, and read all the comments. From this we get a good idea of what you want, and we announce the winners!

I have a picture of myself wearing a winning t-shirt. How do I send it in? Please post your picture to our Facebook Page, IrateMonkey. We look at the new submissions and if you are chosen, we give a free t-shirt of your choosing.

How do I submit a design? You are encouraged to submit as many designs as you want! Once you add the IrateMonkey application, just click the ‘Submit Your Design’ button at the top right of every page and follow the instructions!

Once your design is submitted, if you followed all the directions, after a week or two your design will be posted in the ‘voting’ section and will be voted on by everyone! If you are in the top few rated designs, you have a good chance of being chosen for printing.

What do I win? When your design is chosen, you win $500 cash or 20% of the total net profit from the sale of your design (whichever is more), a chance to win the $10,000 end of the year prize, and some nice perks!

Who’s behind IrateMonkey? Neil Schultz and Mason Browne started IrateMonkey on July 23rd, 2007. Neil is studying at college in Philadelphia, while Mason is a programmer back in Montana where they both grew up. There are also two artists Casey Rathie and Jeremy Kessler who help keep IrateMonkey creatively functioning.

Do you like monkey jokes? Of course, but they drive us bananas.

What is Thinknit LLC? Thinknit LLC is the underlying company IrateMonkey functions through.
