It's that time again- our annual T-shirt contest is back for a 2019 edition!
For inspiration, you may view prior designs on our
Teespring store.
Theme: incorporate the PF logo (
download here) in a camera, lens, and/or photography-themed T-shirt. Let your imagination rule!
This year, given the celebration of Pentax's 100th anniversary, bonus points go to shirts that feature vintage themes. However, do not include any text that references the 100th anniversary, as there is official merchandise for this.
We can print shirts in multiple colors. You may therefore submit light and dark variations of your design if you wish to support both types of material.
Deadline: October 7th,
September 30th 2019, by the end of the day your time
To enter: post each submission in a reply to this thread, as an attachment (be prepared to e-mail a high-res version if you're a winner)
You can choose to enter as many designs as you'd like.
Prizes: Each winner will each receive two free shirts shipped to their door, plus a Site Supporter forum account upgrade
Requirements and restrictions:
- Important! Your design can't have more than 10 colors (preferably 4 colors or fewer), so avoid the use of photos
- Unedited photos can NOT be printed - you must either vectorize the image or reduce the number colors
- Only the central area on the front of the shirt will be printable. We can't print on the sides, above the neckline, or on the sleeves
- Your design must include the Pentax Forums logo. You may alter the colors or make minor changes / additions
- You may use specific Pentax product names and product logos (i.e. K-1, K-3, etc), and traces of official product photos, or any product photo found on PF's homepage
- You may not use any other photo or work subject to copyright, without permission
- You may not use the official Pentax logo font (type out Pentax instead)
Once we're closed to submissions, we'll have members vote to select the winning designs. We plan to pick three winners, but may opt for more if there are many exceptional designs.
I'm excited to see what you guys will come up with, and I'm sure many other forum members are, too. Good luck!
This year, we will continue T-shirt production through
Teespring. With two different fulfillment locations, simple storefronts, and prints every 3 days, shipping is cheaper and faster than it's ever been before.
To get you started, here are four top designs from the past 3 contests:
