Announcing ShirtPrize

REVUE has announced that it will co-sponsor ShirtPrize, a contest for artists, designers, doodlers and common folks who want to showcase their art on the cotton canvas. CitizenShirt, an online t-shirt seller and supplier of quality screenprinting, will co-sponsor the contest, which offers prize money and notoriety for artists.

ShirtPrize, which kicked off over the weekend, will let artists submit designs via the Web and then use online polling to let people vote on their favorite designs. A winner will be selected each Sunday for four consecutive weeks, and then the four finalists will face off for the grand ShirtPrize during the first week of October. For details and to enter, viisit http://www.shirtprize.com/.

ShirtPrize is also recruiting hosting bodies to help showcase the four finalists’ t-shirt art at events and via social networking during the week of the ShirtPrize finals.

The winner will be announced on October 7, 2009. (*All prize monies are based on Cambodian Riels and equate to approximately $1,200 U.S. dollars.)

“A lot of artists exemplify their craft on a smaller format,” said Matt Fulk, president of CitizenShirt. “The t-shirt is a great cotton canvas worn by living venues, and we wanted to give people an opportunity to add that kind of art around the atmosphere of Artprize.”

“We are pretty sure that this is the largest Shirtprize in West Michigan, particularly the Grand Rapids area,” said Brian Edwards, editor and publisher of REVUE.
