Declined Email?

If your submission is declined do you get a reason why or do u just have to figure it out and resubmit?

I think you have to figure it out. Though I really can't with mine. I'm not sure what's wrong with it.

I got an email and this was the reason:

"Sorry, your design did not pass the initial panel of Judges. Even though your design may be submitted properly, we do decline submissions for designs reasons. All designs are pre-screened by a panel of Judges before put into the running. Please feel free to re-do your design or create another and try again."

I don't get it :(

Yep me too. Mine fit all the criteria (unless "under 60k" means that 60k isn't allowed). But I'm not gonna try and make it 1k smaller just in case that was it. You do feel like you're wasting your time when you spend so much time on something and it doesn't get accepted for no apparent reason.

Yea, mine fits all the criteria as well. I'm going to triple check the colors and sizes and resubmit.

A'hem.

It says right there in the email you guys posted: "we do decline submissions for designs reasons......Please feel free to re-do your design or create another and try again."

Maybe Threadless felt the design...sucked. For lack of a better word.

See, without picking out specific shirts (and you know who you are!) there are a few that look like they were done in under a minute or are just direct image rip-offs that get through. I am starting to think Threadless just has a Russian Roulette system in place...

I guess mine was a little light on creativity, but like JiuNoon said I've seen worse on here. Ahh well, I did resubmit. My next submissionwill have to be after my exams when I've got spare time to make something better.
