Announcing...
That's right folks. The smash hit from last year that got rrrraaaavveee reviews at BrickFair is returning for another season! EW-TV exec EW has decided to fund this wonderful show.
For those of you who don't know much about this, here's the gist. In late 2009, a few members decided to take matters into their own hands and create a T-Shirt specifically for other members, since the staff has their own shirts to distinguish them. The idea was simple: the members design the shirts and then vote on their favorites, encouraging and testing their ideas and imaginations. The winner gets to have his design printed (by Bionicle Raptor) and then sold to anyone who orders them or stops by at the select conventions the shirts will be at!
In addition, there might be some really really cool prizes other than having your shirt produced, but more on that at a later date!
Rules and Regs:
1. Designs can be in any form, really. Use a shirt template, use a blank white square, I don't really care. You can use pretty much any editing software or medium to do it, too! (MS Paint, Sketchbook, GIMP, Photoshop, hand drawn sketch on a paper plate, tattoo on your chest.)
2. Your design should be on either the front or back, but it cannot be on both sides or include the sleeves. Those are both hard to do and more expensive.
3. You can choose any colour you want. We may change it at the production stage, but will try to remain true to your vision. You can choose one colour only and only one colour you may choose!~ More than one will be too expensive. With that in mind, the design should be clear enough for people to see, and you can choose the colour of the shirt. Last year's design was white print on blue and green shirts. It worked well and is like what we want this year.
4. Your designs can be anything you want if it is pertinent to BZPower and/or Bionicle! No restrictions! So long as it follows the above pointers. However, nothing too complex. It won't be disqualified but we will have final say after the polls close.
5. It must be your original design. No Galactic Imperial emblem or Old Spice banners, although integrating Isaiah Mustafa in it is a-ok.
FAQ:
Q: Can I put my name in the design (so people know who made it)?
A: No. Trust me, people will know who made the design.
Q: Are there specific colours we're limited to?
A: No. See rule #3 above.
Q: Can I submit multiple designs?
A: Yes! The more the merrier. Keep in mind that only one design will win in the end, though.
Q: When are all submissions due?
A: See end of entry below.
Q: Do I submit designs here?
A: No. This is the discussion entry. Submissions are to be posted in the Submissions Entry. All submissions in this entry will be deleted.
Q: Can staff submit designs, too?
A: Let me put it this way: If you're in a member group on BZPower, you're able to submit something.
All submissions are due by March 12th. This date is flexible, but it will likely not be any later than that! So what are you waiting for? Get to it! Remember, this is a MEMBER'S T-SHIRT, and it's not possible without the MEMBER'S involvement!
