For news about Threadless, what better place to look than the official Threadless news section??
Starting with 2007, Threadless will begin hosting the annual Threadless Awards! While an official date is TBA (soon though!), the winners of the 2007 Threadless Awards will probably be announced in January or February of 2008.
Each person who wins a Threadless Award will receive a "Bestee", an incredible trophy shaped like Bestee the Elephant giving her STAMP of approval (inspired by this)! There will be 10-20 Bestee categories like "Most Groundbreaking Design" to "Best Gallery Photo" to "Most Dedicated Blogger". Actual categories are still in the works and we'll announce them within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned! Oh, we almost forgot the best part... $100,000 in cash will beLots more details to come! |

 |
omg wow!!!
|
 |
This is awesome, but my question is:
$100,000 each or all together? I think I already know the answer. |
 |
sounds wicked!
|
 |
haha... all together
|
 |
haha so awesome
|
 |
Oh my, that's a lot of moolah.
|
 |
Do we get to make emotional speeches and thank our entire families?

 |
That is some Badassness!!!!

you guys are awesome. i hope it's going to be spread thin. i'd rather see 100 people get a grand each than 10 get 10 grand each.
|
|
d3d on Oct 26 '07 at 7:02pm
oops, 10-20. oh well, lucky them.
|
|
it's going to depend on the categories but i imagine we will probably do a few $10k prizes and then a few that get spread a bit more thin
|
 |
castle on Oct 26 '07 at 7:04pm

 |
WELL DAMN THAT'S BUCKETLOADS OF FUN!
|
|

|
|

|
|
i would like to nominate myself for:
most drunken mychingo messages most (horrible) ms paint portraits heehee |
 |

|
 |
This is great. Hopefully I can rig the voting in my favor, otherwise there's no way I win anything.
|
 |
wow this is awesome
|
|
Tonteau on Oct 26 '07 at 7:29pm
Shirtflirt, DBH = Other T design website.
Also, "WOOOAAAHHH!" |
 |
Montro on Oct 26 '07 at 7:32pm
Is this going to be based on votes (poll) or the staff picks? (I hope the latter one)
|
|
i just saw the money bit.
O_______o |
 |
I wonder what the categories will be.
 |
 |
AHHHHHHHH!!! This is so awesome!
SO AWESOME! |
|
Just remember who's been putting all kinds of effort into his product photos foreva now
*you honor, the defense would like to show that Frickinawesome pointed to himself* |
|
I mean really, I've always known I've loved this place (and believe me, it's addictive). But this is just...wow.
WOW! |
 |
kennybanzai on Oct 26 '07 at 7:39pm
Wow... thats really rad! Exciting!
|
 |
jublin on Oct 26 '07 at 7:40pm
what the what what the?
wow! i hope one category is something like Best Jublin. oh man so will threadless come up with nominees and then bloggers vote or vice versa or what?! |
 |
Holy crap!
|
 |
funkie fresh on Oct 26 '07 at 7:41pm
cooooool
|
|
I think it'd be funny if the best gallery photo is one that never made it onto the product page...
|
 |
holy shit dawg.
-k. |
|
kennybanzai on Oct 26 '07 at 7:45pm
Will there be a ceremony/party involved?
|
 |
holy cow that is so much money.
|
|
jublin on Oct 26 '07 at 7:40pm
i hope one category is something like Best Jublin. You'd have a good chance of winning, but it would be a disgrace to lose in that category. |
 |
Holy Cow!
Maybe I'll win for trying hardest for people's approval! |
|
Remember, Most dedicated blogger is determined by who posts in this thread the most times.
|
 |
valorandvellum on Oct 26 '07 at 7:55pm
Holy moly!! I think gamejunkie should win something... like most shirts bought by anyone. Ever.
|
|
I concur with V&V
|
|
How about one for the most heavily plagiarized design.
|
 |
HOLY BALLS!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
|
|
Spam69 on Oct 26 '07 at 7:57pm
How about one for the most heavily plagiarized design. You mean design that ripped off another design, or design that has been ripped off by others the most? Either way, I guess The Killing Tree wins! |
 |
HOLY GOD!
|
 |
Holy! Oh my freaking god, this is awesome...
Awesomenesssssss Trophies $$$$ And it's annuallll.... Meaning next year tooo!!! Get ready to host agreat blog party for whoever wins in that catagory! |
|
Shit!, I just looked up gamejunkie and nearly crashed my work computer. That lady needs something but I'm not sure it's another T-shirt. A life time dedication award maybe?
|
 |
wow.
|
 |
looks like more things for me to not win!
|
 |
ho-ly shit!
|
 |
Hey so is there a prize for most awesomest blogger-slash-sloganeer? Because I have been known to be most awesomest.

|
|

Zoinks!
|
|

|
|
castle on Oct 26 '07 at 9:00pm
there really are far too many steves
|
 |
Wicked. I hope they have a category like "Most geographically distant from threadless HQ", because I think that's my best chance of winning.
|
 |
awww, its ok threadless, you could have just sent me an email telling me how much you love me, BUT THIS IS JUST SO MUCH BETTER!!!!
|
 |
Wow! $$$$ makes for some great motivation :)

There should probably be a 'Best Newcomer' category for those printed for the first time in 2007...
:-/ Did I mention that I really really want a Bestee? |
 |
Monkey III on Oct 27 '07 at 8:31am

Wow, I don't check the blogs for a few days, and I miss all this excitement!! =D This is great news, and just another example of how Threadless always gives back to the people who love it.
And I am actually really behind on my gallery pics - I probably have closer to 800 shirts now. I'd better get busy! lol But thanks for the kind words guys. =D |

I think I'd win. |
 |
jstumpenhorst on Oct 27 '07 at 6:58pm
holy shit. this is so awesome!
|
|
Torakamikaze on Oct 27 '07 at 1:01pm
*can't wait for the best steve category* there's a lot of competition I think you win by virtue of actually being good at designing/witty/cool/facial hair/mishmashing |
 |
now, I know I've said this before, but you guys remind me of when third-graders have to draw their 'Dream Room' and they put waterslides and jukeboxes and bearded midgets serving cocaine off of silver platters (okay, maybe that was just Freddy Mercury's), because they obviously have a ridiculous amount of money.
You guys get to do whatever you want. It's awesome.... |
 |
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhlala!
|
 |
I'd cry of happiness if I was a besteeeee
