Why would my design be declined? Why this one, specifically?

http://seenew.net/mousetrapT.swf

I could understand declining some of my older designs, but I think this is my best one... Why did I have to wait two weeks for a reply from the "judges" only to have them decline it, without giving a reason? This really pisses me off. I wish they'd specify a reason. There's tons of really crappy designs on this site, and not saying this one is the greatest, but it's not crappy, I don't think. BAH.
Well, that's the end of that. It used to take 3 days, tops, to get a design put up. Threadless has gotten too big.

Maybe it had something to do with the template? There are an awful lot of colors to choose from, whoch could be overwhelming. But I honestly have no idea-this design is way better than quite a few submissions I've seen recently.

Man, that is a really good concept man. Try again, send 'em a letter asking them specifically why they declined it and what to fix, 'cause that is a damn good idea there.

"There's tons of really crappy designs on this site, and not saying this one is the greatest, but it's not crappy, I don't think. BAH."

I've got to agree with you. They seem to allow some of the weirdest designs ever, and yet yours (which isn't all the bad IMO) gets declined.

And besides half the designs they let through seem to be the same style over and over and over again. At least yours was slightly more simple (but i think they think everyone wants the same sort of weird design and nothing slightly more 'normal')
