The First Annual afstudio T-shirt Design Contest!
Times are tight, but that doesn't mean you have to dress like it... Even if you had to skip that summer shopping spree in Paris this year, you can still create your own couture online at Spreadshirt.com. We love these shirts, for gifts, parties, promotional items, and adding some "now" to last year's "wow" (those jeans are sooooo 2008!).
Don't waste another minute! Design a shirt for under $30, and send us a screenshot of your design. We'll choose a winner on August 5, 2009 and buy the winner his or her shirt! Now how's that for high style on a dime?
Due to shipping limitations, this contest is open to participants in the US and Canada only.
