I've made some t-shirts through Spreadshirt so I'm on their mailing list.  They are having a 3-colour valentine design contest with crowdspring.  If you win, it's $500 but be warned that you give away the rights.  If you don't win you still own the rights.  I copied and pasted the email below but the links didn't come through so I pasted the link immediately below:

Any designers might want to look into the crowdspring site - I've spent less than a minute there so I can't tell you much - but at first glance it looks like another Pixish.



The e-mail from Spreadshirt:

We are giving away 2 $500 prizes for the best Valentine's Day designs  
 
Betcha you could use $500 right about now.

Well, here is good news! Spreadshirt is partnering with crowdSPRING.com, an online design community, in sponsoring a Valentine’s Day Design contest. There are two $500 prizes up for grabs – and you could have one of them.

Here is what you need to do:

Go to crowdSPRING.com to find out more about the contest

Create Valentine’s Day themed vector designs

Upload your design ideas to your account on crowdSPRING.com

The deadline for submissions is January 15th, 2009.  If you’re selected as a winner, Spreadshirt will purchase your design for $500.  If you’re not a winner, you can still upload your design to your shop or marketplace and make a hefty buck on the commissions.
