ESSENTIAL is a community based tee shirt company with an ongoing, open-call for tee design submissions.
If your design is chosen for print, get paid up to $12,500 + $500 per reprint!
That's $2,500 in cash and gift certificates right away and up to $10,000 more if you win a Bestee in the Essential Awards.

Create your design in a high resolution format using a program like Photoshop or Illustrator. You can then use our critique section to test the ESSENTIAL community's response to your design.

First, make sure you read the submission instructions found in the submit section. Then, copy your design into our presentation templates. To submit your design, go back to the submit section and fill out the form!

Over a period of 7 days, the ESSENTIAL community will score and comment on your submission. Be sure to improve your odds by promoting your submission to all your friends, family and fans!

The fun doesn't stop there. You'll want to claim your Alumni Club package and prepare for a lifetime of designer nerd fame!
