Slashdot T-Shirt Contest Winners!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the best-of-the-best dept.

We had 331 entries in the Slashdot T-Shirt Design Contest, and at long last, I'm pleased to announce that our winners are Scott Lewallen, Chris Hoover, and Jude Hansen. There were tons of great entries... and we've made the 3 winning designs, as well as 9 of my favorites available for your perusal. Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest! The shirts themselves will be made available at ThinkGeek in the next few weeks.

    Not to be too much of a grammar nazi, but I do hope that the apostrophe error on Chris Hil's middle t-shirt is corrected before these shirts get printed -- I'd hate to have people think that no one on slashdot has good grammar *coughcough* (Oh, the irony.)

    "Yes! With a single push of this button I can bring any website to it's [sic] knees, just like SLASHDOT!!

    It's no drawing, it's probably the most photo ever taken of Einstein.

    And you can't use his image without his estate's permission. He's handled by the same company that handles the Three Stooges, Monroe, James Dean, etc, etc.. Can't think of the company's name, though.

    Not only that, but using any image of Albert Einstein for commercial purposes requires a license from the heirs of Einstein.

    Well, in this case because it's merchandizing use of Einstein's image you need to contact the Roger Richman Agency:>/a>
    But, if you really want to know, material originally published prior to 1971 belongs to the Albert Einstein Archives at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
    But if it's unpublished material or material originally published after 1971 or further if it was published in The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein, you should contact the Princeton University Press..


    I hope this *ahem* clears things up a little...

    I don't know if I've ever seen one person who could potentially have so many different requirements to use their image... Especially a DEAD person.. Anyway though I did think that shirt was pretty funny.. I did a peice of artwork with Einstein's image in it, and even though I asked for permission about four months ago, I still have not received word back, so good luck!

    I also third this idea.

    There, we have three thirds. Now we have a whole idea.

    I am a programmer. I am paid to produce syntax not grammar. Deal with it.

    Indeed:

    4. Number of Entries Deemed Eligible. You may enter only one Entry for the entire Contest Period.

    I know people who had multiple (IMO good) t-shirt ideas but only submitted one because of this rule. And yet Chris Hil has three different shirts out of the nine runners-up?
