2008.04.13: The competition is now closed.
Danwei is going to make an official T-shirt to be produced and sold by Plastered T-shirts.
We’re accepting design submissions and holding a competition to choose the winner.
The winning design will be sold in Plastered T-shirt stores in China and on the Internet and the winner will receive glory, fame and 888 yuan in crisp bank notes.
If you have an idea for design, download a T-shirt template from the links below make your design and email it to Tshirt@danwei.org or upload it to the comment section of this post.
The design can use an iconic Chinese image, simply consist of text, or be something wholly new, but it must have some connection with Danwei’s content, or the meaning of the Chinese word ‘danwei’. Submitted designs do not need to be production ready: Plastered T-shirts will work with the winning designer to prepare for production.
The competition closes at 8am on Monday April 13. The entries will be judged by:
Dominic Johnson-Hill founder and chief creative officer of Plastered T-shirts
Jeremy Goldkorn founder of Danwei
Shen Qing Managing Director of FT Rui magazine, known in Chinese women’s magazine circles as the “godmother of fashion”
Dongdong Qiang post 1980s man of letters, student of the classics and blogger
Mauro Marescialli: Founder of Standards Group, the design firm that created Danwei’s logo and visual identity
Adam J. Schokora Danwei contributor and Neocha partner, blogger.
