Envato Community 2021 T-shirt contest - winners now announced!

Design a T-shirt for the Envato Community and win some great prizes!

We want you to create a T-shirt for the Envato Community! We’ll be using the winning design for contest prizes throughout the year, and we will also be giving T-shirts to our moderators as a small thank-you gift for their hard work and dedication.

What we’re looking for

We want to celebrate our awesome community with a dedicated T-shirt design and we need your help to design it! Your mission is to design a shirt that captures the creative talent and friendly, supportive camaraderie that our Envato community from around the entire world continues to demonstrate.

Here are some winning entries in previous T-shirt contests to give you an idea of the standard we are looking for!

How to Enter

  • Create a T-shirt design to celebrate the Envato community
    • Designs will be printed on the front of the T-shirts only.
    • Your design must be in a scalable vector format that you can share with us (.eps, .ai, or .psd)
    • Your design must be in CMYK format
    • Your design should incorporate the Envato logo. Please note: The leaf shape has changed slightly in recent years - use the version lined below!
    • You may use the leaf element of the Envato logo by itself, or you may use the logo in its entirety (leaf logo + “envato” name.) You can find more information on logo branding usage here.
    • You can download a copy of the leaf in SVG format here, or the leaf + name here).
  • Post a JPG version of your design in our official forum thread.
  • Make sure you keep a copy of your source file! We will need to contact you to obtain it if/when you win.
  • Only one entry per person please, so please submit your best work!
  • Please read our full Terms and Conditions (see below).

Prizes & Judging

Our judges will be looking for high quality designs suited for a T-shirt that incorporate and reflect the friendly, supportive, and international talent of the Envato community. A judging panel of Envato Staff will determine the winner.

Grand Prize

The winner will win the following:

  • $500 USD (sent via PayPal or Payoneer)
  • An Envato Community 2021 T-shirt with your winning design.

Participation prizes

Our judges will also select 10 people who are active in this contest thread, and we’ll send each of them a 2021 T-Shirt once the winning design has been finalised :slight_smile:

  • You don’t need to submit a design in order to be eligible - participation prizes are open to everyone posting in this thread, whether you’re entering the contest or posting in support of the other entrants.
  • The judging panel will award these prizes to participants we feel are consistently helping to make this an awesome community to be a part of.

Important Dates

  • Wednesday, January 6 - Design contest opens!
  • Sunday, January 31 (11:59pm AEDT) - Design contest ends
  • Tuesday, February 9 - Winners announced!

FAQs

I came up with a better idea - can I enter again?
Entries are limited to one per person. If you decide you’d like to enter with an updated design, simply edit your original post - our judges will be looking through the full list of submissions after the contest closes.

Can I make a really large JPG instead of a vector?
No. While we need a JPG or PNG for the forum post, you’ll need to have a high quality vector version available for final submission if you win. We’re initially planning to use this to print on Community T-shirts, but would like the flexibility of having a vector format for potential other uses in future.

Good luck!

most of the previous winners are a bit in the same style indeed, i guess this is also due to the vector oriented style
