DWTS Mark Ballas T-Shirt Design Contest

Dancing with the Stars Fever has begun! The pros will learn if they have been selected for season 11 sometime between today and August 30th.  The new cast will be announced on August 30th.  Sometime after that, we will learn who Mark's partner is.  As soon as we learn who the partner is, this contest begins. I will post more info about exact dates as soon as we have more information.

But, to get you ready for the contest and thinking about it, here is some basic information for it. Please note that the exact rules may change before the beginning of the contest.

Bewitching Ballas has teamed up with @Babettessugar on Twitter to bring you a fun t-shirt designing contest!

The idea is to design a t-shirt for Mark Ballas and his Season 11 dance partner.  The t-shirt should be focused on the TEAM...not just Mark.  So, no Team Mark Ballas shirts. We want to include the lady too! ;)  Hopefully they will come up with a team name quickly, so we can include that one the t-shirts. :)

The contest will begin immediately after we find out who Mark's Season 11 partner is. How long the contest lasts will depend on how much time we have until the season premiere.  Hopefully, we will have a good two weeks to accept entries and then a couple of days to vote on the winner. Voting will be blind. In other words, the artist's name will not be included with the photos of the tee-shirt designs during the voting period. We will announce the winner's name at the end of the contest.

Everyone will be able to vote for their favorite design and then the winning design will be printed and the tee-shirts will be sent to Mark and his partner so they may wear them. We will also offer the design online, for purchase by the fans, so we all can promote them!

The Rules:

1. The design must be created in black on a white background. It allows for cheaper printing and printing on many colored tees. :)
2. Designs need to be fairly simple. Don't get too complicated because that hikes up the cost...and we want everyone to be able to afford to buy a tee! :)
3. The design should only be on one side of the t-shirt. You may decide what side to put the design on (please let us know when you submit your entry)
4. Designs may be drawn on a computer or on paper and then scanned. You will submit a photo of your design to us by email.
5. You may design up to three (3) separate designs. Only one design will win the contest.
   

Stay tuned for more details! :)
