The theme is food, grilling, all things summer dining related!
All daily winners and designs selected for the EC sale, will not only be featured on tees, but also on aprons!! You do not need to show your design on an apron, or submit artwork on a template. Please continue to use the regular shirt template, submit your artwork as usual and we will work out the details when it comes to formatting on aprons.
You are welcome to include a mock-up of your design on a tee and an apron in your submission, but you do not have to.
No politics, no cream shirts.

Oh my gosh… crossing my fingers. I missed out on one of my designs on an apron and have been kicking myself for 5 years. I gotta come up with something good!
I am submitting a design with the same concept as one that I subbed to woot (and printed in a woot-off) three years ago. The design execution is different than the earlier shirt, so I hope that it will be OK. I figured I should try to get some feedback before the derby rather than the similarity be hidden. I spent a lot of time creating the bacon font from scratch, so I am hoping the work was not done in vain! With dozens of shirts that are slight variations on “Sarcasm” and “Taco Tuesday” my reading of woot is that as long as the design is different in execution and people like it woot is OK with it. Any feedback/criticism on the design would be appreciated.
Well, I didn’t win the derby (tho no big surprise…), but I did get a new record high-- 24 votes that were guaranteed-to-be-nobody-I-knew! Personal best=personal win!
It’s neat to see that excitement again in someone.
Back when I started, in late 09, i remember hitting high water marks of 100, 500, I am not sure if I ever hit 1000… But that was back when a win might have between 1200 and 2000+ votes.
And there was not any side sales. Either you got first, second or third place, or nothing. They would have a quarterly second chance derby; where they picked a handful from each derby and put them all against each other… but that was about it… Everything was more brutal
Rejections were swift and merciless.
Wooters watched like hawks for stolen designs, traced images and clip-art…
It was more like…
I am hoping the work turned into not done in useless! With dozens of shirts which might be slight variations on “Sarcasm” and “Taco Tuesday” my analyzing of woot and other review article is that so long as the design is one-of-a-kind in execution and people like it woot is OK with it. Any remarks/grievance on the design might be favored.
