Quiksilver “Design a Difference” Tee contest

Hello Humans, Quiksilver is stoked to team up with DesignByHumans to present the Design a Difference Tee Contest. Quiksilver has a deep artistic heritage in board sport culture. Each season, Quiksilver partners with an aesthetic visionary in the creation of our Foundation Tee Shirt Collection benefiting a range of social, economic and environmental causes. For Fall 2009, the charity is the Tony Hawk Foundation and the artist is you! DesignByHumans and Quiksilver will donate 6% of proceeds from the sale of each t-shirt to the Tony Hawk Foundation which helps fund recreational programs and the creation of public skateboard parks in low-income communities.

Check out our board sport inspired collections at Quiksilver.com for some creative direction. Your submissions can be logo or art driven, that is up to you, but all submissions should utilize the Quiksilver name or logo in some fashion. Download Logo Sheet.

Submissions are due by March 15th at Midnight. Winning designs will be announced beginning April 5th. Good luck!

I do like the Birdman.
Quicksilver with it’s mighty empire could only muster 1k disappointing.
It is a better payout then most sites, but come on. I tried buying gas today with exposure and they called the cops feel me.

Human_thumbnail_unknown

95781
said 8 months ago

is there a way to randomize the listings so that all people who submited to the contest get equal chances “to be seen”?

20475
said 7 months ago

Thank you to DBH and Quiksilver for this opportunity. I highly appreciate it and can’t wait for the shirts to be produced.

Human_thumbnail_unknown
said 7 months ago

oosh, not a big fan of the winners. I like whats there and respect Quiksilver’s picks, BUT IMAO there were much better entries. No offence to the designers, the tee’s still look fantastic.

Human_thumbnail_unknown
said 7 months ago

renx: flower of life should’ve taken a spot and
Buddy79: Quicksilver submission should’ve as well
that’s just my two cents

btw the links are showing up…. :(

97727
said 7 months ago

that`s way its pointless to work hard for contest, because the jury usually is 10 times dumber than the designer, damn it`s sick to get rick-rolled.

Human_thumbnail_unknown
said 7 months ago

lol, april fools has already passed…. so who are the real winners?

Human_thumbnail_unknown
said 5 months ago

these results suck ass! not only did quiksilver unfairly chose the winners, but i now have to look at some of the amazing t shirts that i can’t have! if quiksilver had been reasonable and picked the best shirts, not only would they sell more, but they wouldnt be seen as such asses!
