Bearer of groceries, handler of borrowed Tupperware, carrier of overnight clothes. Totes, we salute you. This challenge is all about a bag we hold in our hearts because it holds all our stuff. Your challenge is to create a design for a tote.

This is your opportunity to explore new territories in rectangular bag design. Could your design tell a story? Totes. Could it be an intricate design? Totes. Could it be the bag sought the world over? Obvi, totes. Just make sure it's two colors or less and works within the guidelines attached.

Here's the best part: we're picking five designs! (One for each finger on the hand you'll use to carry your new tote.)

We're going to pick 5 designs - you heard us 5! If your design is chosen, here's what you'll get:

- $500 cash
- Your design will be printed on a Threadless tote!
- $50 Threadless gift certificate
- E-High 5 from us - seriously, we'll send you one! :)

Would love to see more totes. All of the totes are pretty much sold out and have been that way for a while...
