The design must be your own intellectual property and you must have the exclusive copyright and right of use. This is important otherwise we are not allowed to print your design. If your design gets printed, you grant us the exclusive right of use to print your design on textiles.
Our Competition Terms & Conditions can be found here...
When the competition starts all submitted designs are available for voting. A submenu is available in the PARTICIPATE menu called "Vote Designs". Here you can score all the submitted designs on the scale from 0-5.
Why not check out our voting guide here.
Our part now is to await the voting deadline and then evaluate the three designs with the highest average scores, types of these scores and user comments. We will then declare a «Gold», «Silver» and «Bronze» winner on our homepage. These three winning designs will be printed on T-Shirts and are offered for sale. We may also choose a number of «Special Selections», designs that are outstanding in quality but did not gather sufficient number of votes. The designers of these winning T-Shirts also receive a share of the sales price and their profile will be included in our Designer section of the website.
We make donations from earnings to different charities. At the start of any competition we announce which charity the money from sold t-shirt will be donated. The charities are sometimes inspiration for the themes and sometimes it works the other way around. As long as we are selling Charity related T-shirts, they will be receiving money from us. The share that goes to charities is € 1.00 per shirt.
Allmightys runs commision based prize system. Designers get paid every 3 months commissions they have made on the sales of their t-shirts. Commissions are increased as the sales of T-Shirts go up. In addition, all winning designers recieve one free t-shirt of their design.

We belive this is a good principle. We also believe that if shirts are selling really well, our cost to produce them is lower and so the designer should recieve higher commission. Commissions could be raised on succesful tshirts up to 4EUR per shirt. This applies to all shirts whether they are prize winners or special selections. Our success is your success.
At the same time we will promote you: we will publish you on our webpage, link your homepages with ours (if you want) and push your wonderful designs on other websites. We ask the same in return, for you to promote your designs as much as possible.
Thats it!
