[Melissa Jordan Subject: Alloy: Alloy T-Shirt Design Contest Begins Today!! Hello, fine people of Alloy, The time's come for you to be creative and have some fun! 10 years ago, through the creative efforts of some talented list members, we had our very first official Alloy t-shirt. A decade later, I think its about time we have a new Alloy World Tour shirt for our membership! (Figured the old guys are probably a bit faded by now...) Back in 1997, it took a bit more effort to put a project together, but now technology and online resources/shops make this process a breeze. Im inviting all of Alloys membership to enter a contest to design a new t-shirt for the list members. The winning design will be featured on the front, with a world tour list of the members cities and countries on the back, as we did 10 years ago. The winning designer will receive a free t-shirt as a prize. Ive set up a private CafePress store for Alloy, where the winning design will be available for list members to buy t-shirts, sweatshirts, mugs or mousepads of their choice. (Heck, Ill even put it on the thong they sell, but dear god, dont tell us if you buy it!) The price of each item will be the CafePress base price  no money will be made on this. Its simply for our entertainment. Youll be able to wear it proudly at Dolby gigs  a secret handshake for list members. Perfect for wearing around the house, doing the dishes, walking the dog, fighting crime, accepting your Nobel Prize... all the things Alloy folks usually do. :) So, what are the rules for this contest? Theyre pretty darn simple: 1. The contest is open to members of the Alloy list only. Submissions from non-list members will be rejected. 2. Designs can be made by individuals or a team of two people, maximum. In the case of a team of designers winning, a free shirt will be presented to each of the design team members. So, if you're an idea person and you have a list friend who's good with putting it all together design-wise, go for it! 3. Designs must conform to CafePress size and format requirements for t-shirts and sweatshirts: a 10 x 10 JPEG or PNG, 200 dpi.* Color, B/W, mixed, text, pictures, all okay. 4. Keep copyright issues in mind as you prepare your entries  you are responsible for clearing any image you use! No obscenities or adult content, please. (But if you want something kinky, I think that Crackers has a CafePress store!) 5. No limit on the number of entries you may submit, but please make certain each entry you submit is a finished design and meets the CafePress requirements. 6. Designs must be submitted to the following e-mail address: merujo_sai@yahoo.com with the following subject line: Alloy T-Shirt Design Contest Submission. All entrants will receive a confirmation e-mail. 7. Deadline for entries is May 1, 2007. After the deadline, all entries will be posted online for voting by Alloy members. Entries will be posted for viewing and voting without entrants names - everyone gets a fair shake and everyone gets to participate by voting! 8. Voting will close on May 30, 2007, and the winning entry will be announced on June 1, 2007. *CafePress image information is available here: http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/images.aspx If anyone has any comments or questions about the contest, let me know. I really hope folks join in and have fun with this. Alloy is such a great, creative group of people. I can't wait to see what folks submit! BTW, if anyone has webspace available (and the skills to post pictures) for the viewing and voting, please let me know.
