Once the entry date passes, our staff will select 5 designs that are to be the finalists. We will be judging based on creativity, use of the Eternal-WoW.com logo and URL, use of WoW related art, whether the design is dark shirt compatible, and the overall presentation.
Up to 2 bonus point will awarded for designs that include back and arm designs (1 point awarded per location).
After our staff selects the 5 finalists, they will all face off in a public vote for the best design. The vote period will last one week. The dates of the final vote will be announced 3 days ahead of time.

To clarify, right now we are looking at direct-to-garment printing which supports full color images. However, we may switch to a bulk supplier in the future, and want the design to be compatible with all printing methods (ie. screen printing). That is why we specify a maximum number of 4 colors. We will accept both full and up to 4 color images but, we prefer the latter.
THE IMAGE SHOULD BE ON A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND unless the background is part of the image. In other words, we cannot accept any pictures with a t-shirt background included in the design. If you would like to show the design on a t-shirt, that is fine, but I MUST RECEIVE THE IMAGE WITH LAYERS so I can remove the t-shirt from the background, if you are selected as the winner.
These are my T-shirts
