HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO GO TO A MEETUP BUT JUST COULDN'T SWING IT FINANCIALLY? WELL, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO!! WITH THE HELP OF JAKE, WE PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE CONTEST TO HELP GET THE ANNUAL BLOGGERRAISER STARTED!!

DESIGN THE 2013 BLOGGERRAISER TEE!

The Bloggerraiser is a community-driven fundraiser to raise money to send eager and active community members to the annual reunion in Chicago. In past years, we have been able to help send over a dozen people to experience a weekend of fun times with good company. We're determined to continue this tradition and this is your chance to be a part of it!

The Bloggerraiser is all about bringing the community together. Create a design that encapsulates the essence of the Bloggerraiser. Conceptualize what it means to you to bring together random people from random places with random tastes under the banner of Threadless. This challenge is your opportunity to make Threadhistory! Proceeds from the sale of this tee will go towards the Bloggerraiser.

If your design is printed, you'll get:
- $500 cash
- $250 Threadless gift code
- A seat on the 2013 Bloggerraiser Selection Committee

Keep in mind:
- The words "2013 Bloggerraiser" DO NOT have to be part of the design!
- DEADLINE: JANUARY 5th, 2O13!

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET SUBMITTIN!

MY FAV DESIGN OF THE WEEK
Here's where I post my favorite design in the running that I think everyone should love too.

This amazing design by Melee_ninja does exactly what it's titled. Brings back nostalgia. Not only is it well executed, its just so much goodness on one tee that a lot of us can relate to.
