If you haven’t already heard, we’re throwing a real actual tangible party to celebrate all of the awesome shirts that our artists designed in 2015.

It’s just like the Oscars, only without any of the glamor and a lot more cotton. The event is in Seattle at Sole Repair on Friday, March 18th 7pm - Midnight.

We’re planning to have an IRL ("in real life”) Derby at our IRL Party!

We’ll select a bunch of shirts to present at the party and all the attendants will vote on their faves. Not only will the winner get a little ego massage, we’ll do somethin’ nice for ‘em, too.

The IRL DERBY Theme is “EPIC!"

Design a shirt that is EPIC! These prints will be done digitally, so there is no color limitation. Well. No cream tees. But that’s the only limitation.

We’ve got some specific file and submission specs, so check ‘em out:

The designs need to be a transparent background .png file that is 4500pixels by 5400pixels (This is a 15x18 canvas at 300dpi). The art should be sized and placed on that canvas in the [relative] spot where you want it printed.

Entries must be sent to derby@woot.com before 3/9. Your subject line should read: IRL DERBY - [name of your awesome shirt]. That way we’ll know it’s for the IRL Derby, you see.

In the email, please specify your username and what color tee you’d like the design to print on.

We’re super excited about this and we hope to see you in Seattle soon! Now go get started on that Epic design.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

We really wanna get a lot of subs for this thing, so here's how we'll reward the IRL Derby winner:

-1,000 AMERICAN DOLLARS

-We'll sell your epic design on the site!

-As the winning artist, you'll get to curate their own sale right here on Shirt.Woot!

We're hoping that'll sweeten the deal. We're hungry and yearning for awesome designs, so get goin'! EASE THE YEARNING IN OUR SOULS.
