God you guys are making me wish my computer didn’t have a virus on it and I could use it. . .great contest and a great band.
Impressive DBH, first quicksilver and now Kings of LEON.. you really got some good contest running at the moment, keep it up :D
I absolutely love every song these guys ever produced. The combination of a DBH tee and Kings of Leon is gonna be pure awesomeness.
YES!
I JUST SAW THEM LIVE
i need this. But i already lost the quiksilver contest
hmm, I got a LOT of projects going at once. A good thing no doubt, but I don’t think I can pass this comp up. Dammit dbh!
Great contest!
Anyone know where I might find some HQ pics of them? Their webby seems to be mostly filled with fan pics from concerts.
I might try my hand at this one. It’ll be a good intro to the ways of DBH.
i love KOL. already got tickets for their March gig in sydney. I hope i have time to enter this.
love this band so much! wouldnt miss it for the world! you guys are doing such a great job getting great inspirations for us to design man!
Dammit. Great band. Too bad I don’t stand a chance in hell of winning this.
yey! And its great that the band get to pick the winner instead of votes on here. Because I sense a lot of vote rigging!
I don’t think people realize that the band name, Kings of Leon, does not refer to a lion (leo)… It refers to the boys’ grandfather and father named Leon…
yes, it’s Kings Of Leon. Not lion king. Also seems to be crown overload already…
you all are lucky because i live in small country lithuania and i never get a chance to see Kings of Leon in concert. ;(
Errrmmm…
So do you have to be from the US to post a design or can you be from the UK, help?
I’m from the UK and I’ve posted a design, so I assume it’s ok.
Great contest btw; KoL have to be one of my favourite bands. Good luck to everyone submitting a design.
can i just ask,, do you have to be from the United States to enter the contest??
coz i am from the UK so i hope it is fineee,, i really want to enter soo ????
Should be a killer competition, need to get something started, not long till the submission!
I’m very curious about this band. I like the experimental side of their music. I don’t mind if they become commercial as long as they keep doing poetry like Kings Of The Rodeo or minimal songs like Charmer. This is my contribution to there performance at the Brits 2009, which gave me a lot of pleasure. Thanks guys!
I am so excited for this contest. Huge Kings fan who had no idea about this site until now. Great collaboration. Good luck to the other contestants!
I was wonderin’… If the band chooses the winner like it says they do at the top of this page then what effect does voting have? Or are you going to show the top 5 voted designs and let the band decide the winner from them…?
I would like everyone to take note of Ndesign ’s entry. Which seemingly jumped from 65 votes last night to 211 this afternoon. I would appreciate an investigation into this for possible vote fraud.
AccuratePassion, Yeah…thats what I’m saying…I was just looking at that thinking it was a bit curious :P I feel there needs to be an investigation as well.
I would really like to join in for this one but not sure I will be able to. I suppose it’s better to make sure I have the time and money to be able to spend quality time on it instead of a rush job..
Forgive me if i have created a lion as a design, i just think it would look cool for a rock band shirt that has a leon on its name..:) it the king of the beast!
you guys are working so hard that, I wonder if there is any space for imagination?
You see, for me it’s not about satisfaction but, imagination…
i have a question
the t-shirt that wins … can you buy that one on the internet?
or in a store
that would be nice!
What’s with all those lions? People Kings of Leon don’t have nothing in common with Lion King!
holy crap…some of this stuff is good!!! good luck people…
KOL IS ON FIRE WOOOOOHOOOOO
Errrmm.. I gotta question bout this…
Are the designs chosen by the band or does it depend on how many votes that particular design has?
Please comment.. thankyouuu!!!!
Hey, can I have some help plase?
Errmm.. every time I try to submit my design it won’t work, any ideas?..x
Hello! My designs are coming through with inverted color? Any ideas about how to fix it?
Thanks!
Hey, some help please…
I’ve tried submitting my artwork around 30 times and it still won’t send. I’ve checked all the sizes and they’re all exact so it’s got nothing to do with the pixels. Any ideas about what to do? I’m desperate to submit the artwork beacuse I’m really happy with it. Haha! Please let me know on my profile or on here..x
Just to say aswell, they’re jpegs, so i really don’t know what to do to make it work! :( HELPPP!!! Thankyouuuu.
Hey,
Just so no-one replies to my pleas, haha, I managed to submit, I’ll send you the link when it’s on..x Thankyou anyone who offered help :D
Please vote, KoL splatter, by jOsE_22, I’m 14 and have spent ages ddesigning this, votes would be greatly appreciated!!!
XXX
Oh! I want those autographed lithographs so bad! I’ve been travelling the world to see this amazing band live! Thank You for incredible feelings You gave me KOL!!!
I’ve made 3 designs for the band. Hope the fans and lads will like it :) Please check them out ^^
Sorry maybe it is a stupid question, but I want to be 100% sure :)
and I’m not ready yet with me new designs O_o
I was totaly bummed out because my son and I tired and tried to upload our designs for the T-Shirt contest but the upload didin’t work for some reason. Even after trying it on our computer, we went to Fedex-Kinkos to use their computers incase there was something wrong with ours. It didn’t take for some unknown reason but then my son put it all in perspective by reminding me that we had the good fortune of meeting Nathan and Caleb at a bar next to the concert where they were playing in Minneapolis Minnesota on November 1st of last year. Even posted the pictures they took with us. Nathan was so cool because he gave us free tickets due to the show was all sold out. If you go to bossyboo29 on YouTube, you’ll see me talking all about it with the pictures of me and my son with Caleb and Nathan. Two of the nicest guys you ever could meet…
Has the contest stopped taking entries now? How come there isn’t a notice at the top of this page saying so?
Thanks
Dean
A little bit confused,…when does the voting end? Is it April 12th. Theres so much on this site my computer keeps crashing, worried i might do it some permanant damage. Also my friends who are trying to vote are finding the voting system confusing.
How come the upload system wouldn’t work? I tried to get my design in by the 22nd but it kept giving me an error. Tried to submit it yesterday and it was rejected. Anyway I could get my design into the running? Thanks.
Dr_Ernst: “where do u see da winner?”
Look at the top of this site ^^ Winners will be announced on April 12, 2009

Submission Deadline
- Submissions due by March 22, 2009 by midnight (PST).
Winners will be announced on April 12, 2009. Good Luck!
is it just me or does anyone else find it kinda strange how all three of pearl2307’s entries on page two of the submissions have over 230 votes each?
Definitely strange, turns out all of pearl2307’s entries are over 200 votes…fishy indeed.
yeah and all of the comments seem to be from very obviously fake accounts, doesnt matter anyway though, since votes dont count for everything.
Here in Africa it is also the 14th….where’s the winners… the band having too much fun somewhere…:-) the suspense is killing me…
hahahaha looks like we are all in the same page weird users with hundreds of votes and nothing announcing the winners. Cant wait!!!
this should be pure design voting, I think people want to buy cool shirts with artistic designs thanks!!!
yeah does anyone know when we get the winners? is it the band thats taking so long or DBH?
Hi! Guys. How can i know if my design is been approved from this contest.
Thanks.
I don’t think this website is run by a bunch of newbies. There is too much talent invested in it. The contest has been over and should have been judged and the winners chosen over 3 days ago. No representative from the company has commented or announcements made. People have worked very hard to make their designs. The least DBH could do is say something. That would be the professional thing to do.
i don’t know if anyone remembers the last t-shirt design contest kol tried to do? maybe we’ll never find out the winners of this one either…
I think FleetwoodMac contest winners were annouced smth about week later, so easy people :) ok?
yeah, it’s killing me too ;)
Patrycja, there is a difference between being talented and being professional. A lot of very talented people worked very hard (didn’t you?) and the owners of this website benefited from that hard work, it’s only fair that they stick to a schedule that THEY set up.
@Abbaink yeah I did work hard! I made few designs for this contest, and only for this contest I came here (before I didn’t know about DBH). Yeah it would be nice to get some info what’s going on, but imho no need to be so nervous about it… I know KOL had they days of after many days of hard work, so I can wait till they found time… I love these guys so maybe that’s the reason I’m so nice about it ;)
I am not saying ANYTHING about the band. It is not the band running this website. Nerves are not an issue here. Professionalism is. Patrycja, they are called deadlines for a reason. ;)
I could not find any comment or note or excuse or official announcements regarding this delay…. Is there a problem somewhere… ? Curious to know….
When yer a rock star the last thing you want to do is sit in front of a computer screen and scroll through a bunch of images. I bet the band hasn’t went thru them all just yet. And I don’t blame them…they have so many other “cool rock star stuff” to do (ie. make music). They’ll get to it. Patience.
At least that’s my theory…for what it’s worth.
Thanks for being patient everyone. We are waiting for the band. And as they are on tour, it has taken them longer than anticipated to select the winners. But they are coming. We promise.
Thanks mannn!
I think that’s all we needed to hear,
much appreciated.
Awesome, I mean Im just as eager to see the winners as the next person, but there is so many designs to look through I really cant blame em’.
Thanks for the info Matt.
May the best-suited design win – the suspense is crippling..
Let’s speculate! I’m betting ‘5th king’ by minimart is amongst the winners as well as one of Patrycja’s weapon designs, most likely ‘Dirty belly of a secret town’. ^^
Kings of Leon are great musicians and I’m a big fan, but they have lousy taste in tee-shirts.
what in gods name happened… lil wayne was after kings of leon and nobody has yet to be picked yet?
Submissions due by March 22, 2009 by midnight (PST).
Winners will be announced on April 12, 2009. Good Luck!
It’s past over due.
dbh has been a big dissapointment here. i realized the band is busy, but this should have been handled professionally and in a timely manner. hundred of people spent countless hourse creating amazing designs for these guys. an award was promised, and should have been delivered.
completely ridiculous and unprofessional. i won’t be participating with this site any further.
speaking of unprofessional, apparently i can’t spell. (see above) sorry, i got to typing too fast in my rant. :)
Grrr i made a design and the contest is over! someone needs to updater there SITE!
