Calling All Creatives! Design a T-Shirt for International Women’s Day 2021 to win $500!

International Women’s Day (March 8) is fast approaching, and we want YOU to help us design an awesome new shirt to celebrate.

The winning design will be marketed through our store, with all profits reinvested back into our mission for gender equality. 

Design the shirt however you like – you can use something digital like the Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate or Canva, or if you’d prefer to hand-draw your design, go for it (just make sure it fits the design specifications below).
