This American Life Tee Design Contest

I'm not sure if someone has already posted about this (I did a half assed search and found nothing) but it sounds like a fun contest, winner gets $1000.

I'm a little late on this, the deadline is July 28th but I'm guessing someone here could probably win.

Check it out This American Life

Good luck!

Monkey X on Jul 21 '08 at 8:57am

what is the deal on designers outside the US?

THE CONTEST IS VOID OUTSIDE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES

the fuck does that mean.
*heads explodes*

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 9:04am

i think it means that if you aren't in the US (including Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico) you are not allowed to win

although i bet they'd still appreciate your submission, you wouldn't be in the running for the prize

:(

Monkey X on Jul 21 '08 at 9:15am

oh I see
thanks chelly ^^

I just wanted to know so I can bookmark it (or not)
for potential contests - no biggie.

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 9:18am

no problem. i didn't see that rule until you posted it here and i had told some international folks about it.

Monkey X on Jul 21 '08 at 9:19am

It's better to read all the fine prints etc. nowadays.
It's easy to overlook those things.
God knows I made that mistake a thousand times.

thunderpeel on Jul 21 '08 at 9:37am

i really enjoy the show and one of my friends told me about the contest but as soon as i started to think about it i felt like i had just walked into a pane of glass... like, the complete void suitably awesome ideas in my head and the complete inability to immediately generate something remotely pleasing was almost physically painful. Thinking of ideas for this shirt felt like trying to perform complex mathematical calculations. It literally hurt my brain.

needless to say, i gave up

thunderpeel on Jul 21 '08 at 9:38am

void of^

chelly on Jul 21 '08 at 9:48am

noooooooooo try again! except with less glass this time.

avalanche_lily on Jul 21 '08 at 9:52am

I have an idea if anyone wants to collab.

telaine on Jul 21 '08 at 9:52am
