Anti-DRM T-Shirt Design Contest

Written by Ernesto on April 24, 2007 

Most of us would agree that DRM is doomed to fail. Unfortunately the Music and Movie Industry is not convinced yet, we still have to let them know that we (their consumers) are against DRM. What better way to do this than organizing an Anti-DRM T-Shirt contest? Spread the word, the winner gets $250.

In collaboration with Beautiful Crime, we challenge you to create a T-Shirt design that shows the Anti-DRM message to the rest of the world.

Anti-DRM T-Shirt Design Contest

Prizes

No contest without prizes of course.

1st place: $250

2nd place: $100

3rd place: $50

Guidelines:

  • You can enter as many designs as you like
  • Color is okay, but not more that two colors per design
  • Don’t worry about dpi’s and vectors, the winning designs will be optimized for printing after the winner is announced
  • Email your submission(s) to ernesto (at) torrentfreak.com

    • Submission Deadline: May 31, 2007

    After the deadline has passed, all submissions will be posted on TorrentFreak and the readers will vote for the best design. The winning designs will go into print and will be sold for $15.

    We don’t plan to make any profit, but if we do we will donate the money to charity.

    I still think the best way to protest DRM is to pirate as much as possible. Too bad I haven’t figured out how to download t-shirts.

    @Funkintelecky

    Great perspective!

    @Ernesto

    Ok, I will monitor the forums / page.

    I hope you can create the t-shirts for a reasonable prise.

    My first attempt (and not the last) is about to be finished, and then I’ll send it your way ;) Glad that I can join the cause and maybe get a kickback from it, hehe. Hope you like my designs!

    Cheers,
    Javier.

    My design is going to own all. So everyone don’t even bother :P.

    DRM is a big nuisance and someone needs to crack it. I whole heartedly support any movement against it.

    Hi I am a silkscreen company, I would like to support the cause. Do you need a silkscreen to print the shirts?
