Your challenge
Create a beautiful t-shirt design.
You Are Beautiful is a little sticker campaign that’s trying to make a big difference in how people feel about their self-worth. Since 2002, the You are Beautiful community has slapped more than 500,000 of these little reflective stickers on lamp posts, light switches, mirrors, and wherever else stickers stick across the world. Now you can do your part to help spread this simple, powerful message so it sticks with even more people!
Your challenge is to create a beautiful t-shirt design. Just as the You Are Beautiful project and message are completely open, you can interpret this challenge however you like (submitting a tee with the You Are Beautiful logo or text doesn't count). Your design doesn’t need to change the world. But if it can change one person’s world, we’ll take it!
So put down the hair spray and mascara. You’re beautiful without ‘em! Pick up your sketch pad and get to work on making somethin’ pretty.
