Japanese t-shirt company, Design T-Shirt Store Graniph, is holding a pretty big t-shirt design contest. This is their third time to hold it. It is open to everyone and has huge prizes. They are not as big as the UTGP but they are still pretty big. Check them out:

• Gold Prize: ¥1,000,000 (about US$9,000)
• Silver Prize (x5): ¥100,000
• Bronze Prize (x10): ¥50,000

There seem to be prizes in other categories too and I am not totally sure how that works. On the application form you are asked to check a box beside a magazine name. I guess that means that are applying to that magazine’s contest. I wonder will you still qualify for the above contest? Anyway if you are considering applying you should check out their terms and conditions.

The entry period is February 2009.
