Wooshka T-Shirt Design Community
The ‘user-generated content’ web revolution has led to an entire genre of constantly evolving sites. And that concept has extended beyond the web to the actual products being sold on the web. The most well known example might be Threadless.com, but there are countless other great sites where the creative can exercise their skills.
Wooshka is a competition based shirt shop that let’s users submit and vote on designs. The winner’s receive cash, kudos and the satifaction of knowing their shirt designs are reaching the masses.
Here’s how it works:
Wooshka is a continuous t‐shirt design comp where you, the Wooshka community, get to submit design ideas, vote on which designs go to print as well voting on many other important decisions. Essentially, it’s your very own tee brand! Every few weeks the latest winners are announced and their design will be printed and made available for purchase from the Wooshka online shop. Just 500 units of each shirt are printed to ensure the prints remain limited edition. The participants who submit the winning designs, as selected by Wooshka after a vote and rating review, will win US$500 cash and a $200 Wooshka Gift Certificate.
Wooshka’s put together a pretty nice site. They currently have about 35 shirt designs in review and five winners available for purchase. Some of the designs for review are a bit weak, but I’m sure as traffic and submissions grow they’ll have the ability to exercise an editorial hand.
With so many avenues for designs available there’s no reason not to get started. Keep an eye on Wooshka.
