SLUG Mag t shirt with question markCOMPETITION EXTENDED! SLUG Mag is hosting an online art competition to decide on a design for our next T-shirt! Send in an artistic rendering of what SLUG Mag means to you, and the SLUG staff will pick one design that highlights the artistic talent in our community.

Please send in your design for the contest to lexi@slugmag.com. The contest runs from Monday, Jan. 9 to Monday, Feb. 20. All entries will be considered and multiple entries are encouraged. The winning artist will be notified by Friday, Feb. 24, and will receive an online-exclusive article on SLUGMag.com and promotion across all SLUG social media pages. The winner will also receive a sweet SLUG Mag swag bag that includes some T-shirts featuring their design. 

Design guidelines are as follows:

  • The design may contain up to 2 colors without gradients or shading.
  • Maximum size is 12″x12″ for each side. Artists may submit a design for the front, back or both sides of the shirt.
  • Design must be submitted in a vector file (.eps or .ai file preferred). Please don’t submit photoshop .eps files, your design needs to be vector based.

Feel free to suggest a shirt style and color in the body of your email, but that decision will ultimately be determined by the SLUG Mag staff. The winning artist may be asked to alter their design slightly to meet printing company guidelines.
