HOW IT WORKS

Entries open on the 4th of August and close off on the 1st of October. Once all entries have been received our esteemed panel of judges will select the top 10 finalists by the 1st of November.  Two designs from each finalist will be printed and these 20 designs will be available for sale here on the website for $39.95 each.  The shirts will be available for two months and the winner of the $10,000 grand prize will be the designer who sells the most t-shirts over that time period.  AS Colour will print shirts to order so there will be no limit on how many shirts each designer can sell.  Sounds simple?  We think this combination of judges, input from the public and sales data is the fairest way of finding the most deserving winner.  It also means that 10 entrants will see their designs on a t-shirt plus all finalists will receive a royalty of 14% of every shirt sold.  If you have any more questions about the entry form, conditions or form please email dan@ascolour.co.nz and I will respond right away.  In the meantime it’s time to get your design on. Go!
