ELECT THREADLESS THIS NOVEMBER
Posted on | July 29, 2008 |
Community-centric tee shirt company Threadless.com is getting into the spirit of this year’s elections, and creating its own Threadless Loves Democracy challenge. Designers everywhere will have the opportunity to get into the spirit of Vote ‘08 by creating tees based on the theme of Democracy.
Although the challenge does run in tandem with this year’s US elections, Threadless is looking for designs that have nothing to do with the sides in any specific election–US or otherwise. The challenge is all about the idea, the spirit, and the drive behind democracy; not about taking sides.
In the past, only one design is usually chosen in the end. This time, however, a special panel of judges including Jeff Staple of Staple Design, Carlos Segura of Segura, Inc, and Ross Zietz of Threadless will choose three designs to succeed. Other cabinet members for the challenge include Sappi Fine Paper, Rock the Vote, Jones Soda, and Jeff Howe’s latest book, Crowdsourcing.
“Threadless Loves” challenges give designers an opportunity to flex their skills and design to a particular challenge. Challenges are sponsored and supported by companies relevant to the idea. Previous “Loves” partners include Hot Chip, Moby, MTV’s Human Giant, and the Lomographic Society International.
Threadless and its partners are giving the creators of the chosen designs a prize package better than the White House. Chosen designs will be printed as Threadless tees and Threadless Prints on premium Sappi McCoy paper, and will also be used in a nationwide promotion for Sappi Fine Paper. Designers will also receive goodies including a Gocco P5 Silk Screening Kit, a signed copy of Crowdsourcing, a $250 Apple Store gift card, gift certificates to Screwball Press, free Crown Business Books, and the chosen designs will be available on approximately 1,000 cases (each) of bottles for purchase on Jones Soda’s campaigncola.com site. As always, designers will also receive a $500 Threadless gift certificate, $2,000 in cash, and an extra $500 in cash for being made into a Print!
Deadline for entries is August 14, 2008.
