Design Guidelines

Inspired by the mission of ShimmyMob, your design will be featured on the front of the t-shirt. It must have the ShimmyMob logo visible as part of the design. Do not alter, redesign, redraw, modify, distort or alter the proportion of the ShimmyMob logo in any way. Do not place a pattern or design on the logo. Do not replace the approved typeface in the logo with any other typeface.

Your design must be wholly original. By submitting a design you are guaranteeing that you hold the rights to everything in it, and that it does not contain any copyrighted material, including images or copy found on the internet, unless clearly indicated as published under a Creative Commons (CC) license.

The submissions will be judged on the following criteria:

  • Concept/originality
  • Reflection of the spirit of ShimmyMob's mission
  • Visibility – eye-catching and visible from a reasonable distance
  • Completeness of design (ready for print)
  • Feasibility/ease of reproduction

Submit your entry using the form below. Include a link to the design file. Note that you may submit as many designs as you wish, but they must be submitted as separate entries.

Your submission

Design submission should be saved to 600 dpi (minimum) to produce a high-quality output. Preferred file formats include TIFF, JPEG and PSD.

If you win, you will be required to provide the original design in a high res format that is compatible with Photoshop, Illustrator or another professional design program.
