RYZ is a very cool design community from our local hood of Portland OR, and we're excited to be doing a joint contest with them around the patterns on our site.  It's easy.  All you have to do is color one of our pattern templates so that it makes an awesome shoe design and you could win $1,000.

For the Love of Patterns, RYZ & COLOURlovers invite you to design the FIRST PATTERN ONLY SHOE to be included in the RYZ Collection.
