Rules and Prizes

Your design could win $8,500!

Design By Humans is all about celebrating the creative human spirit through unique design. Luckily for you, it’s also about giving away hefty cash prizes.

At DBH, you can participate in 2 types of contests:

1) The DBH Daily Contest

2) Special Contests

The DBH Daily Contest

The ongoing contest at Design By Humans consists of 3 awards: Shirt of the Day, Shirt of Week and Shirt of the Month. Original T-shirt designs are submitted to our website and voted on by the Design By Humans community all over the world. Shirts that garner the most votes become winners and the designer receives cash and prizes. The winning design is printed here at Design By Humans and made available for purchase through our online store.

Along with our DBH Daily Contest, DesignByHumans occasionally partners with cool companies in the entertainment, apparel and lifestyle industries to run special contests. Special Contests typically have a theme and run in conjunction with our ongoing DBH contest.

Special Contests

Special Contest prizes vary from contest to contest and may include money, store credit, concert tickets, gear, and other cool things. You can check out some of our current and past Special Contests here.

Your cash prize and store credit will be transferred to you on the day your winning design is announced on our site. The cash portion of your prize is sent via PayPal.
