T-Shirt Design Contest: T-ShirtForums.com 4th Year Anniversary Extravaganza - w/prizes!
T-ShirtForums.com officially launched on April 4, 2005. Now in our fourth year, we are the largest (and friendliest ) t-shirt industry forum with a great community of helpful members!
This time last year, we had just over 37,000 members. Now we have over 71,000 t-shirt experts, printers, manufacturers, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts all sharing, learning and networking about our great industry.
Anniversary time can only mean one thing...a T-Shirt Design Contest Extravaganza!
This year's contest theme is something I think everyone here can relate to.
One of our long time member's Jasonda (and the person who came up with this year's contest theme) said it best:

This year's contest theme is: POTENTIAL
Your t-shirt design mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a t-shirt design about "POTENTIAL".
Take any type of interpretation on "POTENTIAL" that you like. What it means to you? Your POTENTIAL, the POTENTIAL of the t-shirt industry, the POTENTIAL we all have to do better, you get the idea.
The designs will be voted on anonymously by the community and the winning design will printed up and given away as thank you gifts to the members of our great T-ShirtForums community who have X number of posts (to be defined later).
Why should you send in a design? For the prizes of course
