So do I understand this right? That they not only get the award but also get one of their designs printed? If so that's dope.



Dangit I could use 20,000 right about now. 1,000 for that matter :)

Best Use of Critique - I dunno.

if there was a category for "best high scoring but unprinted design" i MIGHT have a chance (Tinman), but there's no way i fit into any of these categories.

there is NO concerted effort amongst the Monster Mob to all vote for the design, or to whatever.



I think although participants in the collab had a blast, they probably have other ideas for best shirt of the year.

If a guy is really talented and gets printed like a hundred times (example) and wins the 20k, what should he do with the money? He already won a lot.



If a guy is really talented and gets printed just two times, he should really deserve the 20k award as a artistic and financial boost.



So, please vote for Icebergs Just Wanna Have Fun!

No offense to the 20 designers whose shirts were among the 20 we get to vote for, but none of them are the best design this year. That honor goes to "The Past in the Future." I would've loved this shirt even if it didn't have gold foil. I honestly have never seen a better T-shirt.
