Hi! I was wondering if there’s an average amount of time it takes to hear back about a shirt submission to the woot art team? I just want to manage my expectations (and nerves) accordingly. =D
Bonus question: I didn’t see any mention of submitting an actual print file on the submission page. Is it safe to assume that you don’t submit a print file unless asked to by the art team?
For me, I usually get a response between three and seven days, though I don’t know if that is typical. It could just be that I’ve been getting lucky and submitting my designs right before someone checks through them. I haven’t sold a design (YET) so I can’t tell you the specifics of when you’re supposed to send in your art file. Good luck with your entry!
The time is highly variable, but 2-4 weeks is not unusual from my experience. Seems like it kind of depends on when they get a chance to sit down and go through a bunch of them. Also, the final art file is submitted after the design is accepted.
