Last Chance for Slashdot T-Shirt Contest

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here-we-go-again dept.

This is your last chance to enter Slashdot's T-Shirt Design Contest that we announced a few weeks ago. The contest officially ends tomorrow. We've had over 200 submissions, and some of them are pretty cool, but I don't think there yet is a Lock for the winner. So if you've got what it takes to design a T-Shirt (we're too cheap/lazy to do it ourselves!) you can win store credit at ThinkGeek plus free shirts with your winning design on them! Here are the Official Rules. Read the original story for submission details.

    "We've had over 200 submissions, and some of them are pretty cool, but I don't think there yet is a Lock for the winner" ...they all suck? Is that how we are to interpret that?

    Don't yell at/moderate me, I'm not the one who said it!

  2. Open Source??? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I love how the slashdot editors are so eager to push Open Source, Open Content, Open Whatever on people, but not on themselves.

    Why not open source the winning design??? You could use some open content license for this.

    Instead you'll be working for free for 'The Man'.

    No Thanks.

  3. cheap slave work by Molina+the+Bofh · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Contests like these are the cheapest way to get (almost) free labor.

    If they were to pay for a professional designer, they'd spend hundreds and get just a couple designs to choose from.

    This way they get hundreds of designs for just a few buck to ThinkGeek and 3 t-shirst.

    Wise they are.

  4. T-Shirt Contest... by Eric+Damron · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thought of a bunch of geeks in wet T-Shirts kind of turns my stomach...

    Label me a Troll but this section of the Official Rules sounds like it was copied from a Record Contract. Doh!

    The moderator who rated this as offtopic obviously doesn't recognize the Front: design as the earliest recorded Slashdot article in the accessible database.
