Ok kids, here's the deal. We've been at it for about 5 years now, and we've seen just about everything, right? WRONG! The purpose of this competition is to challenge your brains! To inspire something new, something fresh, something original. What does that mean? Glad you asked!

For this competition, No drips, no hearts, no skulls, no birds, no over-sized animals, no internet cliches, no clusters of random things, no pirates, no ninjas, no ironic references to 80s pop-culture, no 45-degree angles, and for the love of all that is holy - no more talking food! Once the competition is over, submit anything you like... seriously!

To be honest, we're not going to deny your submission if it includes any of the aformentioned unmentionables, but we're really looking for the new, the hot, the next! So the reality is that there's no theme to this contest. The "theme" is to come up with something no one has seen before.

So be a pioneer, and cash in like a pirate with a talking banana on his shoulder invading Noah's Ark in search of giant pairs of pandas! Get to it our beloved Threadless designers! We believe in you!

BTW, did you see that prize package? HOLY MOLY!
