Woohoo, it’s here! Join the Threadless crew on Summer Vacation this week! Enjoy 6 new and reprinted shirts every single day starting today, May 28 and ending on Sunday, June 3. All for discounted prices, all week!

And if that wasn't enough, we're launching two contests around our Wear In The World Vacation Map! Our team of experts has chosen 108 locations worldwide. All you have to do is take a photo of yourself in a Threadless shirt by one of the landmarks and submit it via our handy map! (Must be a new one! Old gallery photos don't count.) If we receive at least one photo from each location, the sale will be extended 24 hours, allowing a whole new batch of Monday shirts to be included in the fun. It's a contest that EVERYONE can enjoy! Everyone wins if we all participate!!! Go team!

But wait, there's more.

If you submit a gallery photo through our vacation map, you're immediately entered into the COOLER contest! One lucky participant will be chosen at random to win an amazing summer fun prize package. A 54 quart steel green Coleman cooler filled with: a Canon Powershot SD900 digital camera with additional 2GB SecureDigital memory card, 4 GB iPod Nano, Logitech mm50 portable ipod speaker system, Speedo Condor Xcel snorkel set, Original Wham-O world class frisbee, pirate beach towel, pair of original Blublocker sunglasses, and two bottles of Coppertone Sport 50 spf sunscreen lotion! Wow. Just, wow.

One last thing! If you're unable to get to any of the landmarks listed and you'd still like to enter the COOLER contest, we've added 5 "bonus" locations signified by the pushpins along the equator in the Pacific Ocean!

Have fun everybody! And on behalf of all of us here at Threadless, have a great week of SUMMER VACATION!

I think if someone does that one they should be winning slightly more than that prize.

Hey is there a glitch on the map? The wiki pop up for Thailand and India describe Aztec monuments which I assume should be in South America?!
maija
maija on May 28 '07 at 11:16am
Well, whichever Threadless person put the map together is definitely on summer vacation and has forgotten all their geography because there are a LOT of errors on the map:

Petronas Towers are in Malaysia, not China
There are no Mexican monuments in Southeast Asia
Cristo Redentor is DEFINITELY not in the heart of Saudi Arabia
The Spire of Dublin isn't in the Netherlands
Loch Ness is not the North Sea and hopefully Belfast Castle and Hollyrood Abbey aren't at the bottom of it
The Sydney Opera House isn't off the coast of Japan

...and so on. :/

Cristo Redentor in the middle Saudi Arabia is funny. Luckily you didn't stick it in Mecca.

Apparently, Threadless hates Canada/Mexico/the rest of North America. There are dozens of pins on the US, but none anywhere outside of the US (in North America).

just thought i'd point that out.

Oh wait, no Chichen Itza is still off the coast of Bangladesh.

Huh, okay, so the links below the map are generally right, but the full map with all the locations showing at once is riddled with errors.

Okay, I'm leaving it alone now.
Ste7en
   Ste7en on May 28 '07 at 12:04pm
im guessing they dont have any customers near the great wall of china, so they probably wouldnt run a promotion where all the places have to be used if they dont have customers around the places.
maija

Ste7en I meant that the Great Wall of China is one of the links offered below the map, but it doesn't actually appear on the map.

shimala on May 28 '07 at 10:05pm
Are you trying to upload an original hi-res photo? If so that's the problem due to the large file size. You shouldn't have any problems once you resize/crop the photo down to 380x272 pixels.

I love shirts though.

So I am sure that we are beating a dead horse, but what is with the lack of Canadian locations??? No Banff, no PEI, no Vancouver, no Montreal? even your American customers could pick up and drive to many major Canadian locations for a cool contest like this. I won't even get into the Canadian customers, as we never register on radar. We are the almighty invisible consumers!!! You will one day feel the wrath of maple syrup!
