contest: Giordano Typography Tee Design contest

Giordano is having another tee design project and its a similar activity that they launch during the 2009 Olympics that they invited 12 artist from all over the world to design a shirt for their "World Without Stranger" slogan. (sample designs are here) This 2011, Giordano Philippines will do the same activity,but instead of inviting artist to design the shirt, they will open a contest for everyone who would like their design to be added to the Giordano collection, they will select 7 designs for finalist and 8 designs for semi finalist. A whopping cash money prize of P25,000 will be given to each 7 finalist. I like to join in the contest, but I don't have yet an idea, but you can see Lace's entry posted in her blog at Style and Relax.net , and see a sample of statement or typography design for shirts. We still have time to think for a good design before the start of the submission of entries on March 21, 2011.
