Many thanks to all the incredible entries in our T-shirt contest! Not only has there been a phenomenal response, but the ideas, creativity, and designs were all top notch!
We’re now going to pick the finalists and we’ll allow the community moderators to vote and pick the ultimate winner!
By the end of the week - we’ll announce the finalists.
We’ll share the finalists with the community moderators so they can start voting.
February 12 - Voting ends, winner announced.
Stand-by to see the finalists by the end of this week. Good luck, everyone!
Eeek! I messed-up the judging element by accident so I’d first like to apologize for any confusion, I’m so sorry! I would therefore like to make a slight amendment to the judging process and provide a verification in the interest of transparency, time and effort to all concerned. I’m so sorry for any confusion caused!
Verification of how we’re going to choose the winners:
Our original announcement mentioned that our moderators would select the finalists, and the community would vote for the winning design.
After the contest closed, I announced that we/Envato would pick the finalists, we’d allow the community moderators to pick the ultimate winner, and we’d announce the finalists (with the winner revealed on February 12).
We already have the moderators voting on the finalists.
As our ultimate aim was to have both our community and community moderators involved in the voting process, I think a good and fair compromise here now would be to invite some of our community members into the voting process. That way, (a) we’re happy that the finalists are to a very high standard to ensure any winning T-shirt that gets made for our community is to an acceptable standard (b) community moderators have helped select the winner and (b) some of our community have also helped determine the winner.
Therefore, I am going to invite 10 of our most active community members in our forums who did NOT enter this contest, to help vote on the winners.
Again, truly sorry for the complication and any confusion caused. Ultimately, nothing much has changed - we’re still going to get an awesome T-shirt out of this contest no matter what. Just wanted to make sure the issue was addressed honestly, transparently, and as fair and as efficiently as possible.
So all that said and done, let’s see all the finalists we picked out!
This thread will now remain temporarily locked while we invite 10 of our most active community forum members into the voting process to help find our winner. We’ll back on February 12 to announce the winner.
Good luck, and congratulations, to all our finalists!

Thank you again to everyone involved in this contest! What a talented, creative community we have, and what an amazing T-shirt design we’ve ended up with courtesy @rautanstudio. Let’s give rautanstudio a big hand for designing a T-shirt that can be worn with much pride.

Hey @avsprem! No opportunities to speak of at the moment, but keep your eyes on the #contests tag in our forums for new contests. There should be a new contest in the next couple of weeks.
