To list your entry, reply to this topic with your entry. Attach the flattened JPG or TIFF at 300 DPI and in RGB color to your forum post. Then upload your original Illustrator, Photoshop etc. file to imageshack.com or another file sharing service and private message sonicsun with the link to download it.
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
