CEF T-Shirt Design Contest

To celebrate the upcoming 10th anniversary of the Cox Engine Forum, I thought it would be fun to have a T-shirt design contest. I think many can agree that we're well overdue for the new forum T-shirt.


OFFICIAL RULES:

1) This contest is open to Cox Engine Forum members
2) Contestants must be 18 years of age or older (or else a parent must submit the design(s))
3) No purchase is necessary to enter or win
4) Limit of three (3) entrees per member
5) All submissions must be made by January 11, 2020
6) The Cox Engine Forum reserves the right to reject any design deemed unfit
7) Cox Engine Forum members will be allowed to vote on designs for a period of two weeks
8 ) Grand prize winner will receive one (1) Unused 1970s Black Widow .049 engine in original "Spider Box" packaging, and one (1) T-shirt featuring their design.
9) The 1st runner up will receive one (1) T-shirt featuring the winner's design
11) Prizes will be mailed to the winner(s)
12) All local taxes and/or import duties are the responsibility of the prize winner(s).
13) The winning design will become property of the Cox Engine Forum, and CEF will hold the right to use and alter the design wherever it seems fit.

14) T-shirt designs should be limited to 10 colors, colors will be reduced in designs with more than 10 colors.
15) The color of the T-shirt can be suggested by the designer
16) Designs shall not exceed 12" x 12", and should probably not be smaller than 5" x 5"
17) Designs should be kept to one side of the shirt, unless you have a really good design that uses both sides (contact the admin).
18) Designs shall contain only original artwork.
19) Designs shall NOT contain profanity, trademarks, logos, or copyrighted works of any other person or business.
20) Designs shall incorporate "Cox Engine Forum" and the URL "www.coxengineforum.com" into the design. Forum logos can be provided to designers.
21) Designs shall incorporate the year 2020
22) Submitted designs should be considered actual finished T-shirt designs, not "design ideas". (ex: providing a rough sketch and a description with the expectation that it will be created in software based off the sketch is not acceptable). I should be able to take your submitted design and put it directly on a T-shirt with little to no editing.
23) Designs can be hand drawn/sketched, or done using computer software. Hand sketches should be as clean as possible (limited shading and minimal defects, eraser marks...) and extra fine details likely won't show up on a shirt.
24) Designs should have no solid background where not specifically intended (like a .jpg file does)
25) Designs needing excessive "touch ups" will be rejected
26) Designs that are provided with poor resolution will be rejected
27) Acceptable file types: .ai, .eps, .pdf, .xcf, .png, .gif, .tiff, .psd
28) Designs shall be submitted to tshirt_contest@coxengineforum.com by January 11, 2020


Feel free to ask questions.

The grand prize winner will be awarded a "New In Box" Mid-1970s "Spider Box" Black Widow .049 Engine (pictured below) and a T-shirt featuring their design.




Good Luck and Have Fun!!!
