Color a Plaid Shirt Contest by Betabrand + COLOURlovers

Have you ever wanted to apply your color design abilities to a real-life product? Well here’s your big opportunity! Rev up your color coordination skills and become the next palette designer for a plaid shirt offered through Betabrand! You’ll get the unique opportunity to color a plaid pattern, see the design in action (applied to a template shirt) and the possibility of having your colors picked for print. How cool is that?!

Betabrand is an online-only clothing company based in San Francisco that produces unique designs in limited-edition batches every week. They make Cordarounds, Japants, DARPA hoodies, Farmer’s Market backpacks, disco pants, and much, much more.

Ready, Set, Contest Time!

We’ve had our very own, sec9586 create a pattern template for a new plaid flannel shirt that Betabrand plans to release in two versions for the 2011 holiday season. Betabrand has already chosen the colors for one version – the other is up to you!

How it works…

Easy, color the Betabrand plaid pattern template, Betabrand2.

Your colored pattern will automatically appear with the rest of the entries on the contest gallery page. You may color as many versions of the pattern template as you like.

If your colors are chosen…

The Betabrand design team will select one winner, who’ll receive the following:

  • – A real-life finished plaid flannel shirt;
  • – Your COLOURlovers user name on the shirt label (for this 2011 production run – see above image);
  • – $100 Betabrand Gift Card;
  • – Recognition on the Betabrand web site and in all company communications; this includes photo of the winner in his/her winning shirt (optional).

The contest runs August 2nd – 11th (2011). Anyone who submits an entry will receive a coupon code for 20% OFF any Betabrand product – offer only valid during the contest timeline.
