from 100% Grape to 100% t-shirt design competition

my first Artwork shirt was a purple tee that read: 100% Grape. i bought it at the Landmark once upon a high school in the days that Artwork had no outlets and their shirts were a lot thicker. it was Artwork who brought the statement into the statement shirts of today. since then a lot of start up ventures for uniquely designed t-shirts have come out. a lot of them you can find here in multiply.

its only recently that i've found out that they're having a shirt design contest. i'm gonna try my luck with this one *crosses fingers*. apparently its been going on for two years now. i know a lot of you like designing shirts or have your own crazy shirt concepts in mind. there's a P80 registration fee though, but there's really nothing to lose. :)
