I got a YuDu machine!

yah?

That means new merch! Made to order merch. Want to save money merch? Send me your shirt and I’ll print it for a nominal fee + shipping back merch. Oh yah. It’s gonna be hot.

So, contest? Sure thing! We need a new design! I’m not feeling very creative. Everything I do looks the same or close enough to the same.

Guidelines for your design:

• 1 color
• not too detailed (see examples below)
• no larger than 9″x12″
• no profanity (I love profanity as much as the next mom, but we’ve found it doesn’t sell well)
• nothing copywritten elsewhere – this must be a unique design

Contest info:
we’ll have one winner (unless we get more than one amazing, print-worthy design!)
that winner will get

• a small cash prize (real small, like 25$) either via PayPal (as cash) or in the form of an amazon gift card
• the first printing of their design
• some Punky Moms swag

If we have more than one winner we’ll have to figure out what to award as we can’t afford to award multiple cash prizes at this time.

To submit your idea:
Upload it to PhotoBucket or Flickr or FaceBook or wherever you host your images. Then post it as a new post in the newly created Design Contest board. That’s it!

To vote on the ideas:
Go to the newly created Design Contest board. Look at all the pretty pictures! Under the original post you will see some new images for voting. They are kind of self explanatory, but for those who might be color blind, click the grey plus button to vote for a design because it looks like a Dali original (or whomever your fav artist is). It will make it turn green. Click the grey minus button to vote the design out of the contest because you think your un-conceived infant could have done a better job of it. It will make it turn red. You can click it again at any time to rescind your vote.

As an added bonus you may not vote for your own design. You can however promise cookies to anyone who does vote for your design. Design votes are anonymous.

I think that covers everything. Design contest is open as of now, and will close when we have a clear winner. Feel free to vote for every design, you don’t have to pick just one!

Oh, one more thing. If your design gets enough negative votes it will disappear from the running.
