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.

    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.
