Collar Free,  a t-shirt competition web site, is holding a special contest. The challenge is to design a pro-presidential candidate  t-shirt (either Obama or McCain) and the prize is $250 plus 20 t-shirts. (I don’t think the 20 t-shirts will be such an attractive prize for non-Americans entering the contest.) There is also a 10% royalty “for any design someone wants to purchase even if it doesn’t win”. The contest is over soon, October 6th, so you should try get your entry in as soon as possible to be in with a chance to win. Below are two submissions that I think are pretty sweet. It’s called Obama vs. McCain but that isn’t really the case. It is basically design vs. design and there will be one winning McCain T-Shirt and one winning Obama t-shirt. If you are going to enter now, I recommend designing a McCain t-shirt as there are only 8 other designs to compete against and in my opinion the standard of design in that category is a bit lower.

Collar Free, as I mentioned, is a t-shirt competition site. What makes it different from most of the other competition sites is the voting system which requires you to choose a favorite from the selection of tees. The reason for this system is to make voting simple and addictive and I can attest to the fact that it is both of those things. The prizes are $1 royalty per shirt but that increases if they sell more than 500 which you can see in the table below, 5 tees and a few more benefits.
