Derby #355: Fortune Favors the Bold

Hey, this Derby's over. When you're finished reliving past glories, check out what's going on in the Derby right now. It's probably even cooler. Or at least newer.

We're looking for designs that celebrate boldness and bravery. Maybe it's a character facing his or her greatest fears, a slogan that champions the courage to follow your dreams, or a tee with such visual gusto that only a truly bold designer would DARE submit it to the Derby.

Your chutzpah pays off with special derby prizes:

1st Place: $1000 + Wacom CINTIQ Wacom Cintiq 13HD Interactive Pen Display and Spectrum 20: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art
2nd Place: $1000 + Wacom CINTIQ Wacom Intuos Pro Pen and Touch Medium Tablet and Spectrum 20: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art
3rd Place: $1000 + Spectrum 20: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art

Plus ten random Derby voters will get something crappy!

Rules: No creme tees
