We hope you accept.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the story:<\/p>\n<p>Every week, we try to come up with witty, funny, and interesting t-shirt sayings for our weekly magazine ads.<\/p>\n<p>This can be a daunting task. So we were wondering if you wanted to help out.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is create a design and save it to the Community Gallery. Tag it \u201cContest 1\u201d, and we\u2019ll let you know if you win!<\/p>\n<p>Tips for a successful design:<\/p>\n<p>This design will be featured in an advertisement in US Weekly, so it has to fill several requirements. Most importantly, it needs to inspire people. It should be a design that people see and think \u201cOh my gosh, I want to create my own shirt too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One way this can be achieved is through personalization. It would be nice if the design was immediately recognizable as customizable (i.e. \u201cJon\u2019s Tight End\u201d on a pair of hot shorts). The ideal design would be an inside joke that could apply to a broad audience (i.e. \u201cI won an argument with Jon, December 2008\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Another type of design is the clever or funny saying that doesn\u2019t require any personalization and can be purchased as it is (i.e. \u201cFree Paris\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>You can choose any piece of apparel to make your design, but the <a title=\"Womens Tops\" href=\"http:\/\/www.customizedgirl.com\/category\/shirtstops.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Women\u2019s Tops<\/a> and <a title=\"Undies\" href=\"http:\/\/www.customizedgirl.com\/category\/intimates.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Undies<\/a> sections are probably your best bet.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never saved a design before, here\u2019s a quick lesson:<\/p>\n<p>Click on the piece of apparel with which you want to start. In the Design Center, you can add text, clipart, and your own images. Everything is adjustable, so feel free to experiment with the text styles, colors, sizes, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, be sure to save your design once you\u2019re finished. Just click the save button in the Design Center.<\/p>\n<p>On the next page name your design, choose the first tag from the drop-down menu, and add \u201cContest 1\u201d as an additional tag.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to leave your Share Option as &#8220;share&#8221;. Then click \u201cSave\u201d and you\u2019re done!<\/p>\n<p>This is our first week running this contest, so we\u2019re not exactly sure what to expect. Only a really great design will get chosen. If it\u2019s successful we\u2019d like to do it every week with the same prize.<\/p>\n<p>Once a design is chosen, it will go into the next possible US Weekly ad, which might not appear for a couple of weeks, depending on the deadlines.<\/p>\n<p>Sound good? We really want you guys to have a great time interacting with our site, and if we can put a little extra cash in some cunning person\u2019s pocket, we\u2019d like to do that as well. Thanks and good luck!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to see who you&#8217;re competing against, just <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.customizedgirl.com\/cgi-bin\/main.cgi?cm=1&amp;cm_t=contest%201\">click here<\/a><\/strong>. If you see something you like, add a comment to that design. The designer would probably appreciate it!<\/p>\n<p>*You must be 18 years old to claim your prize.<\/p>\n<p>*Enter as many times as you want. You do not have to purchase your design to be entered into the contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings! We want to give you $200 and feature your design in US Weekly.
