The first place winner will receive 25 t-shirts digitally printed with their winning design by GarmentPrinting.co.uk, plus €100 worth of Amazon vouchers. The second and third place entries will receive ten and five t-shirts respectively with their own design.

 

FESPA Divisional Director Roz McGuinness says: “The FESPA Fabric Design a Tee competition is a light-hearted way of illustrating the creative potential of printed apparel, and bringing out the design flair of our global community. T-shirts are a fast fashion staple; they’ve always been a way of expressing our personality and tastes with slogans or images, but new printing technologies mean they’re now the ultimate item of personalised clothing, with the scope to quickly and inexpensively create a unique garment using a favourite photo or individual design. We’re hoping that this year’s space explorer theme will inspire some out-of-this-world designs!”

 

You can also keep tabs on the competition via FESPA’s social media channels on Twitter (with the hashtag #fespatshirt), Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
