Design a T-shirt for Singapore

SINGAPORE — Here is your chance to wear your love for Singapore on your sleeve — literally. You don’t even have to be a creative type, because there’s nothing easier than designing a T-shirt. Simply come up with your own Singapore-inspired design for a T-shirt that includes the SG50 logo, and you could win the top prize of S$10,000 in cash and vouchers.

MediaCorp is collaborating with Denizen and SG50 for the Design-A-Tee competition, an initiative to create T-shirts designed by Singaporeans for Singaporeans.

A panel of judges from MediaCorp, Denizen and SG50 will shortlist 20 designs to be made available for online voting by Singaporeans. The top five designs will win a total of S$12,000 in cash and S$6,000 worth of vouchers. They will be officially unveiled when they are worn by MediaCorp artistes at the Celebrate SG50 Countdown show on Dec 31, which is held at the Marina Bay Floating Platform.

The T-shirts will be available at Denizen outlets. And in January next year, there will be a special SG50 T-shirt autograph session involving MediaCorp artistes at a Denizen store.

The winning designs and their designers will also be featured on MediaCorp’s TV, radio, magazine and online platforms, as well as in TODAY.

“We hope that every Singaporean will be able to own one of these uniquely SG50 T-shirts and wear it on Aug 9 when we celebrate the nation’s 50th birthday. It would truly be a visual spectacle,” said Christina Chua, MediaCorp Senior Vice-President of Marketing & Sales Planning.

The Design-A-Tee contest follows The Gift Of Song, a song-writing competition launched in September by MediaCorp as part of its SG50 celebratory initiatives.

The closing date for the Design-A-Tee competition is Nov 23. For more information, visit http://www.sg50designatee.com.
