all in the subject, you design the shirt, submit it to the fuse website, winner's shirt can become the new tour shirt for MCR, plus you win other stuff too! im no artist but im giving it a shot for sure!

(!) why don't they give the job to an actual graphic designer who studied for three years to get their degree?
it's like having a contest to "win the chance to perform brain surgery!! anyone can win!!"

you don't really have to study graphic design in school to be good at it. a few years back i was being paid for my work that i self-taught myself. i'm pretty sure that wouldn't happen with brain surgery.

no, but it's taking what could be paid work away from people who put the time and money into getting a degree.
it's getting harder for graphic designers to get good work, so they end up doing advertising for dog biscuits.
these kind of competions are a way of bands and managers cutting costs, by making designing a competition, rather than the paid work it should be.

it's only one t-shirt for one band. i don't think it's going to cause mass chaos in the graphic design industry. a lot of bands i know of design their own t-shirts anyway.

hmm...i never thought of it that way. good point.

fuse isnt included in my basic digital cable package, so they can all go and die

Creativity shouldn't always have to come at a cost. Anyways, people who truly love design do this kind of thing because they enjoy it, not because they want a paycheck. It's also a great way for designers to get practice as well as exposure if their designs are chosen. Why wouldn't bands/managers/record labels want to take advantage of that? And let's not forget that a degree doesn't mean jack shit unless a person actually has talent. Case in point - me.

You know, I think we could make some money with this idea...

[fakejosh]

oh man, so many haters! i still think it's a good idea for a contest, to have some fans design a tour tshirt and stuff, and then the winner also gets all expenses paid trip to nyc... im not a huge mcr fan or anything, but i still think it's a cool idea.
