Hookah T-Shirt Contest Winner Announcement

By Kyle / March 3, 2008

NEW! The T-shirts are finally in! Please click on our Hookah T-shirts blog for the announcement. Thanks to everyone who participated and we thank you for your patience (we know this took too long, sorry) and congratulations to our finalists once again! "Create any theme you wish, and feel free to submit as many T-Shirt designs as you like!" That's how it all started. It's been almost 4 months since the contest started and we received a plethora of amazing designs. Selecting the Top 20 Hookah T-Shirts was hard enough and we're thankful for all the votes we received from our customers to help select these finalists. Hookah-Shisha.com will be printing these four designs so you can pick up one for yourself and be ultra cool while sharing your passion for smoking hookah with the world. Be on the lookout for Hookah Wear mid-March. The top 4 designs will split $550 in Hookah-Shisha.com credit. You'll notice that there are two third place winners. We originally planned $500 in total prizes, but when the two third place selections came up so close (1 vote difference!) we wanted to make sure both people were well taken care of. We're cool like that. All contestants that were selected in the top 20 will receive a special 20% discount for the next 6 months that is good for them and 2 of their friends as well as a free t-shirt design of their choice! First PlaceWinner - $300 in Hookah-Shisha Credit, Free T-Shirt, 20% discount

Second Place Winner - $150 in Hookah-Shisha Credit, Free T-Shirt, 20% discount

Third Place Winner (Tie) - $50 in Hookah-Shisha Credit, Free T-Shirt, 20% discount

In case you're curious, here are the original Design and Submission Guidelines for this contest. Our Top 20 Hookah T-Shirts are featured below. Design Guidelines: Design your Hookah tee in a vector art program such as Adobe Illustrator®. Or, design in a raster program such as Adobe Photoshop®. If you are designing in a raster program, make sure you design actual size at at least 150dpi. When you are done, transfer your design to the template picture (shown at bottom,) so that we may have a relative idea of placement. If you are using the photoshop template, save off a copy of your design as a gif, jpg or png. If you are using the flash template, publish your file so that you have a .swf of your design. Submission Guidelines: We want every design submitted to " info@hookah-shisha.com " to have the best possible chance at being chosen for print. The Hookah & Shisha Central team will review submitted designs and vote internally on the winners. We will also try to post the designs online, and have our website visitors vote on the designs. We allow a maximum of 8 unique colors in designs submitted for this Hookah T-Shirt Design Contest, but for quality sake, we highly suggest 4 color count (background color will not count). Submissions will be declined if the design contains more than 8 colors. Each shade of a color counts toward the eight color limit, as do black and white. Common oversights with placement include designing across the tee from edge to edge, carrying a design over a seam onto the sleeves or off the top of the shoulder. We love larger format prints, but a design meant for regular screen printing should be constrained to a 15" x 20" (38cm x 50cm) area.

**A submission will be declined if it contains copyrighted material. Pop-culture inspired designs sometimes have legal issues we would rather not flirt with. If this is the case with the artwork, we may decline it. Hookah & Shisha Central reserves the right to alter all submitted artwork for formatting/printing capabilities sake. We at Hookah & Shisha Central (https://www.hookah-shisha.com) reserve the right to reproduce and sell Hookah T-Shirt designs submitted in the contest..
