Your challenge
Your challenge is to design the next HOT HITZ parody tee.
Remember the summer of 2011? Well not yet, but in the future you will. And when people think back to all the memorable good times of this epic era, it's very possible they'll remember wearing the next hot hitz tee, designed by YOU.
Now before you get started, let's just review this parody stuff. If you're designing characters, try using familiar characters in a new, unique style that isn't a duplicate of the original. In other words, use them as inspiration, but no copying and pasting! Rachel (our artist coordinator) isn't afraid to use that trigger finger of hers. We know it's tricky, but we believe in you! For more information on parody vs. copyright, go to our Parody Info Page.
Now for the good part! This is whatcha get if your design is chosen:
- $500 Threadless gift certificate (can be redeemed for $200 cash)
- a whopping $5,000 in cash from Threadless!
The purpose of the submissions relating to this promotion is to create a stand-alone design inspired by the challenge, not a brand tee. Your design should not have brand names or logos on it.
