We Love Fine Pony Shirt Contest #2

We Love Fine is hosting another MLP Tee-Shirt Design contest, with triple the rewards of the last one.   Yes, that's 3000 bucks your looking at, they are definitely beefing up the prize pool this time around.

The contest works pretty much the same way as the first one, with a twist.  Submissions start today, and end on October 16th.  The grand prize winner will be chosen on by all of you, but they invited both EQD and Bronyville to vote for second and third. 

Now go create us some awesome designs!

(Good luck topping  Dumb Fabric though for all around perfection, you guys are lucky it was part of the last competition and not eligible for this one! It's glorious...)

I still have to thank whoever made the Dumb fabric shirt.

It's my favourite of my pony shirts now.

Phwoaaaar! If only I could Draw...

Hmmm, now that I have a tablet I may actually participate in this contest, that $3000 would alleviate all worries of paying for my Japanese trip. Whelp, time to dip my toes in the t-shirt designing water, this is gonna be fun!

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Gah, we only have 2 episodes worth of content to make out of T-Shirts. Maybe 3 or 4 if we are lucky.

Oh well, if it means plenty of Discord T-Shirts, that is good enough for me.

Vinyl Scratch said...

Incoming flood of Chocolate Rain shirts!

...I'd approve!

WizardWannabe said...

Oh cool, maybe I'll give it a shot-
US only.

Moonlight said...

all we need is a frosting shirt...

alexrockclimber said...

does it have to be quite simple because of the printing process? Or is it using a simulated process technique?

Streek471 said...

Discord shirt...i'd actually buy that.

Ross said...

Quick Question: Only people who live in US can participate ?

ronaldhennessy said...

I want to go in on this. I missed the last one. Any tips on creating a *good* shirt design?

Vopogon said...

Oh, lol. I'm wearing my Wonderbolts Tee from We Love Fine right now.

I'm not much of an artist, but I make some cool pony things in photoshop. I'll give it a go.

matrix541 said...

YES! $3000 bits. I'm in!

rasrap-smurf said...

@Ross

I'd be willing to bet that's the case :(

ScalierHat said...

@Ross

'Open to legal residents of the fifty (50) United States and Washington D.C. who are at least 18 years of age at the time of entry.'

Bah! I had a really good idea aswell...

Quaraezha said...

AARRRGH! I wanted to join but I'm in the Philippines D:

Oh, and Seth didn't mention this in his post. But he's a guest judge and will pick a runner up. Keep your eye out. He will be watching them.

Masterge77 said...

If I had the time and art skills, I would compete for the cash (when will WLF have a Pokemon design contest? I would love to compete in that one!)

F.eather- said...

SOMEONE.MORE.WHOOVES.RIGHT.NOW

Ross said...

@ScalierHat

*Sob*

Leave to the next. =(

Bassdriver said...

Sooo....we draw/design a shirt on a template or something then upload it to We Love Fine and they recreate it for people to view or what? I'm confused and I actually want to try this by using a Vinyl Scratch design

relias said...

3,000 bucks you're looking at. YOU'RE, not "your".

Matt Dusza said...

I seriously need to make an effort to enter this time. I have some good shirt ideas that Im sure people would like

HenriekeG said...

Joining the 'No US resident NOOOOOOooooo' comments :/

DRTJR said...

I hope the CMC tour shirt is rezed as well as the Run CMC shirts I still want those

Ajin said...

Lol, I'm glad you liked my Dumb Fabric design. Too bad I only got a 50 dollar credit for winning 4th. I was hoping they'd at least give me a few copies of my own shirt, but c'est la vie. I'm glad they upped the prize money for the runners up, considering the last contest winners have been their top sellers since the end of the contest. I might try again...

Spazturtle said...

Ok shall i uses my expensive mac with all the art and graphics programs on or crayons? Hell i'l take any excuse to uses crayons.

Gravenstein said...

note: it's "up to $3000", not $3000. How much you win depends on how many votes total are recieved (it'll only be $3000 if they get 300,000 votes or more, otherwise it'll be somewhere between $1000 and $2999.)

Spazturtle said...

Damit only people in the USA can enter.

Must it contain original art work?
Or can we vector ponies directly from the show and use them, and then add things.
I'm slightly confused, can someone clear it up for me?
I don't want to make something then realize it's Ineligible.

Rainbow Cupcake said...

If Sethisto as a judge means we will get a Trixie shirt, I greatly approve.

Zach Snow said...

Holy celestia, you need 300,000 votes to get the max cash prize. Better make a damn good design.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

How is it that I think of ideas for shirts ALL OF THE TIME, but I can't think of pony shirts?

Spazturtle said...

I wonder what happens if we enter and we don't live in the USA?

P.S. my design:

Jay6 said...

Up to $3000 to draw pony...? Well, I've got artistic talent... so what do I have to lose? I should give this contest a shot!

Jay6 said...

Err, do they accept Canadian submissions?

Eeviechu said...

How many submissions is one person allowed to enter?

nuclearsuplexattack said...

@Eeviechu

It appears 5 total designs; the same number as before.

Also... holy crap, 300,000 votes? That's... insane. Even 10,000 votes is insane in my opinion. At least the prize is still $1k like before.

Spazturtle said...

@Jay6
Nope, only US citizens.

Octavia said...

Another contest, woot! We need more pony shirts!

And $3000? Holy... wow. That is quite the cash prize. I thought the $1000 from last round was a lot. But wow. They must be doing pretty good after that last contest.

Diomedes said...

DJ P0N3 currently has more T-Shirts than Twilight Sparkle. Someone please fix this.

Theokid said...

@Ajin
ooooh! You made that design!? No wonder it's so awesome! Big fan of all your other art :)

i'd like to enter... Wonder what I could come up with

Spazturtle said...

@Octavia

All the top selling products are MLP shirts so they must be.

Jay6 said...

Alright then, I'll just send my design to an american friend of mine, and he can submit the art... >_>; (kinda retarded imo)

MushroomMan said...

Damn, the second I read the title, I *immediately* thought of the exact idea of the "Dumb Fabric" submission. Guess who has to think of another >:S

Killsteal_Wolf said...

To all those complaining about not being in the US, you can still try to enter with a T-Shirt design. Sure you cannot win the actual Prize Money, but your T-Shirt Design might be used for an actual shirt and then you can buy that shirt and make everyone else happy who want to were it as well. And Isn't that a prize enough? To make others happy with your shirt design? I say enter it regardless of prize or not and see if you can come up with the best shirt design possible.

Mike F said...

So what do the requirements mean exactly?
‎"must be at least 200 DPI... 15 inches wide... under 1000 pixels wide"

Does that mean that the submission is just any old <1000x1000 image of your shirt, but you need a >3000x3000 image on hand later if you get picked for printing?

Jay6 said...

The prize money is kinda motivation to actually participate in the contest. Of course I want people to be happy with a newly created shirt design, but it's almost as if I get nothing out of it. It just gives me something else to try for when prizes are involved.

Pr0link said...

Are we allowed to create an image for the back of the tee?

MushroomMan said...

Are there limits on how many we can submit?

Mike F said...

@MushroomMan

The rules say a limit of 5 submissions.

Mike F said...

@Ajin

Hey, a previous winner! (congrats!)
Can you answer my earlier question on how their submission formats work?

Lemonite said...

I'm still submitting even though I'm too young to win the prize. I just like the idea of giving other bronies neat stuff to wear! Plus, designing is always fun!

@Diomedes
All of the ideas I'm working on at the moment are Twilight Sparkle. :D

Karuik said...

Entered my shirt but it's not showing as submitted... Hrrrngh.

Rasly said...

i only like 2 so far, "im a big pony" and "not a brony"

SketchyDee said...

@Ajin

Wow, kinda a jip. Especially if your shirt sells more and you dont get any of the money from that. You dont get any piece of what they sell of your shirt do you?

One would think of making their own shirt in such case.

Mike F said...

@SketchyDee

Well technically, making your own shirts wouldn't be going through the proper channels of getting Hasbro blessing, and your profits would be blood money.

Forderz said...

Only ones I like so far are RariT rapper shirt and the many faces of rainbow dash. Keep em coming!

Digital Phoenix said...

I'm in, I don't really even care if I win anyways. At least I have something to do for a while.

@nuclearsuplexattack

Hi! Nicole from WeLoveFine here. Just FYI, we had 230,000+ votes in the last MLP contest. So it can definitely be done. Everyone who voted last time, ask one extra friend to vote and it'll hit 300K in no time. ;)
