Looking to be immortalized in bike fashion history? Can't wait to see your rad design on Pinkbike? Welcome to the Pinkbike Sick Threads Contest! Design a T-shirt that shows off your mad style. Pinkbike will judge and select 3 designs to be printed and add them into our 2011 clothing line up. Add in some sick prizing from Rock Shox, Avid, Contour, Unit, Race Face,O'Neal, Straitline Components, SDG, and Fox Racing Shox, and you've got some serious motivation to get creative.
What's the deal?The goal of the Pinkbike Sick Threads Contest is to come up with a fresh and creative T-shirt design for Pinkbike! The design should not only be meaningful and relevant to Pinkbike, but also be stylish and creative in its execution. The design should also incorporate the Pinkbike logo. Don't be afraid to mix it either - take the logo and do nasty things with it. The more creative the better. Good luck!
NOTE: In most cases, some graphic design experience is necessary to create a contest entry. If you can't use Illustrator or Photoshop, but you have a sweet design and want to get it onto the shirt template, find someone who knows how to use those programs to help you!
