It’s Your Turn


Calling all graphic designers! Use your creative talents for the greater good—and earn a sick gift certificate to Karmaloop and the opportunity to have your design turned into a tee shirt in the process. In celebration of Unicef’s Tap Project , Karmaloop and UNICEF have teamed up to bring you an exclusive design contest. Participants must create an original graphic t-shirt design supporting the economical use of tap water. Here’s your chance to be creative and original! The grand prize winner will win a $1,000 gift certificate to Karmaloop, and their design will be turned into a t-shirt, part of the proceeds of which will be donated to help Unicef’s clean water effort! Please note that Haiti was a recipient of 2009 UNICEF Tap Project funds, and has already been designated to receive campaign funds in 2010 as well. UNICEF’s emergency response will provide short-term water and sanitation relief in Haiti, while 2010 UNICEF Tap Project funds will help rebuild Haiti’s already insufficient water and sanitation infrastructure over the long-run.

Congratulations to Laura Newman, a graphic design student at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania and the winner of the Empower the Youth Tee Shirt Design Contest! According to Laura, her design was inspired by “turning youth on to knowledge about HIV and ways of prevention, and with this, empowering them to take action against the spread of the AIDS virus in their communities.” Her design is witty and lighthearted while carrying with it a strong and crucial message–that education is key in the battle against HIV. Well played, Laura! As our grand prize winner, Laura will receive $2,500 cash, a $2,500 gift certificate to Karmaloop.com, a Karmaloop x MTV x Staying Alive Foundation t-shirt signed by Shepard Fairey himself and (perhaps best of all) the opportunity to sell her winning design on our site! I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous myself…
Last but not least, a big thank you to all our participants for helping to raise awareness about a very important global issue!
Congratulations to Naomi from Canada, whose winning lips logo design is featured on an exclusive Married to the Mob T-shirt!! Gaining inspiration from New York City, Naomi tried to capture the wild and hectic, yet fabulous, aesthetic of the city. She claims that NYC is what it is due to its “massive, diverse population that travels in public transportation, buses and trains going through tunnels and bridges like blood pumping through our veins… A real MOB girl embraces the chaos and makes her way everyday!” The 123 Tee comes in white, royal blue and black, and is exclusively available at Karmaloop.com.

Karmaloop’s Married to the Mob T-Shirt Design Contest has drawn to a close… Stay tuned to see which awesome design will be sold exclusively through Karmaloop!
