The Derby is open for voting! To submit your own design, go to the submission page. For more details about the Derby, see our FAQ. Also, make sure you check out the rule changes as elucidated in this blog post, including this new ironclad law: no Woot shirts.
Derby #3: Superheroes
Criminal masterminds! Rampaging monsters! Artistic plagiarists! This sounds like a job for...you! This week, design an original shirt with a superhero theme. You can make up a logo and put it on a replica of your hero's costume, Underoos-style. You can depict a humorous, poignant, or striking moment in the life of a superhero. You can create an abstract image with superheroic elements. Whatever you do, do not use images or elements of existing, copyrighted superheroes. We will not hesitate to lower the deletion hammer on any entry that even thinks about violating copyright, no matter how many votes it's gotten, no matter how late in the process we notice it. (Of course, this doesn't apply to Marvel and DC's frivolous, legally questionable copyright of the term "superhero" itself.) Now up, up, and design!
Voting
Only users who have made at least one purchase at any Woot site may vote in the Derby. If that’s you, just click “I’d Want One” next to any designs that catch your fancy. You can vote for as many different designs as you like, but only once per design. If you don’t see the “I’d Want One” buttons next to the designs, you’re either not logged in, or you’ve never bought anything from Woot. Go log in and/or buy something if you want to vote.

So that’s why the pucker face is being submitted at all, let alone in both last derby and this one? Sorry, I’m aware of the going-ons of the last derby, but not the story behind this submission.
Should be an interesting competition. Already two of the submissions would have to be disqualified. One is the Shazam logo, the other using elements of the Superman logo. I’m curious to see how Woot is going to handle alleged copyright stuff this time. Good luck to all the submitters!
