First of all, sorry for the mix-up about when this post was meant to go live. I said Monday, then my brain said “Relax, it’s not until Wednesday”, and here we are… confused and two days late. So, let’s see what you got!

1. Posting Guidelines

On quantity

• You can post multiple ideas… say, 5.
• Don’t be overwhelming by posting 15 or 20.
• Don’t post minimal variations of the same idea (e.g., same layout and sentence but in 10 different fonts or color combinations).
• Self-edit before posting.

On format

• You are encouraged to stick with the Cotton Bureau template to present your ideas.
• It’s okay if you want to present it in your preferred t-shirt mock-up template.

On upload protocol

• Upload a single t-shirt per comment so that the voting applies to only one design at a time.
• Use the Disqus picture-upload feature to upload your design.

2. Voting Guidelines

• Upvote if you would honestly consider buying the t-shirt.
• You can downvote if you like but, for whatever reason, Disqus has removed the option to publicly see downvotes. Not that they would play a big role anyway as the idea is to move forward with whatever gets upvoted the most.

3. Deadline

• You can submit all day today, ideally before 1pm Eastern Time.
• Upvotes will be counted until the end of this Friday, March 22. When I wake up on Saturday and check the numbers, that will be that.

After March 22 we will work with the most popular t-shirts to move them into Cotton Bureau campaigns and launch a week or so after.
