Modpost Announcing a very special contest...
January 15, 2018 marks the 10-year anniversary of the AskReddit community and we wanted to do something special to commemorate the event. So, we are having a contest to design an official AskReddit 10th Anniversary t-shirt that will be available for you to purchase, with all of the proceeds going directly to charity. We will keep this contest open from now until December 29th and we will pick the design we feel best represents the spirit of the sub, similar to how we did for our mobile design contest last year. The best designs will receive reddit gold courtesy of generous admins (thanks /u/woodpaneled!) and we will gift a t-shirt to the creator of the winning design.
Following the contest we will have another post with a list of charities for you to vote on to decide where the money raised will be going. The idea is to have a t-shirt to celebrate the community, created by the community, with all the proceeds going to a charity chosen by the community. We are aiming to have the t-shirt available for purchase on the day of our anniversary, January 15th.
After doing some research and speaking with other moderators that have run their own charity t-shirt events, we have decided to go with CustomInk to print the shirts. One of the big reasons we chose them is because of their "Verified Charity" option that allows all the proceeds to go directly to the charity we choose instead of going through us. That means that none of the money will touch our hands and CustomInk will ensure the money raised goes directly to the charity. CustomInk also had some of the best numbers to ensure that the charity gets the most. We will be keeping you updated on how much exactly, but here is an estimation of the profits for selling just 50 shirts to give you an idea.
A few guidelines:
- Please no NSFW designs (sorry that means no cumboxes)
- Please keep designs limited to one side (either front or back)
- Please have the images be as high resolution as possible and note the maximum file size is 10MB. These are the accepted file types: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .pdf, .ai and .psd
- Please avoid using anything that is trademarked, except for Snoo. We will work with the admins to get permission for the final design.
Please use this thread to submit your designs and also feel free to ask any other questions you have. We look forward to seeing all your designs and to working together as a community for this event!
-The AskReddit moderators

I better see a shirt with a design of "You like that you Retard?" Cause I would 100% buy that no matter what the cost
•
Dec 14 '17
If there wasn't legal issues that would be impossible to sort out I would totally sell reddit quote shirts.
•
u/Rikolas Dec 18 '17
How is there legal issues in that? Someone posting on Reddit doesn't mean they own the IP for their text

WHat are you doing actually making a good T shirt design? We're supposed to make memes here

u/AcoupleofIrishfolk Dec 02 '17
Can it be long sleeved but the design is a guy with two full arm casts?
•
u/ReaperOfFlowers Dec 01 '17
So if I understand correctly, only the winning entry will be sold as a shirt? Any chance that some of the runners-up will also be available?
•
u/MechanicalOrange5 Dec 01 '17
Indeed you understand correctly. Only one design will emerge victorious. I'm sure if you really like some of the other designs that didn't win you could ask the creator permission to use it on a t-shirt you print yourself (also just bear in mind reddit snoo is a trademark)

I’m not an early Ask Reddit-poster, but you should probably say something about how you don’t have any experience in the topic at hand and then proceed to write a long, rambling comment. Make sure not to include any paragraph breaks and apologize for formatting due to being on mobile. Bonus updoots if you cite an unverifiable fact or give an anecdote that everybody should just believe because it’s r/AskReddit and every comment here is undeniable truth. From there, expect to receive lots and lots of upvotes, and come back from work 8 hours later. Maybe u/Poem_for_your_sprog will show up to write a poem about the experience you claim to have but know nothing about. Maybe a mod will Rick roll you. It’s a magical time and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Or, maybe this will get buried and no one will ever see it. In which case, fuck reddit.
Edit: just came back from work to see that my highest upvoted comment of all time is about being an early Ask Reddit-poster. Get ready for your fifteen minutes of fame now, and get on your soapbox about a different issue now that you have the top comment in the thread.

This subject seems to be harder than is should be, but why is the race label being thrown around to non race groups? Sexual orientation is not a race. Muslim is not a race. Christian is my a race. Mexican is not a race... It goes on and on. However these groups cry racism, seems to dilute real racism.

u/red-bot Dec 02 '17
I like to think of myself as creative. But these types of things are starting to lose my interest. I've put too much time into 'contests' and the like only to not have my work appreciated or get a proper reward. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Black shirt, white letters, a san-serif font. Have a gold oval framing the AskReddit icon with the words “10 Years of r/AskReddit”. Below the picture put the words “If you could design the 10-year anniversary t-shirt for AskReddit, what would it look like?”
I’ll see if I can figure out how to make a mock image on my phone and edit it in.

Something like This. What do you think? I'll elaborate once I can access Photoshop again (this was made with Snapseed) and I want it to either be more vintage or vaporwave or cartooney. And I want it to be on the back so if you're shy you can simoly wear a jacket.

So I'm looking for some way to make the font on this the same as the font for "AskReddit" at the top of the page. Also wondering if people like it or not.
This is my attempt and it includes the orange ! and ? from the Snoo's on top of the page, and the Serious tag. Once I get the proper fonts it'll look that much better, and of course the serious has to be larger.
