Design Not Drama

November 21st, 2008

Have you ever designed a shirt?  Do you like free prizes?  Have I got your attention yet?  BOM411.com has just launched its Design Not Drama campaign.  The campaign is a T-shirt contest that helps get the word out about domestic violence.  What a cool way to tell people about dating abuse!  The purpose of the campaign is to emphasize that “relationships come in all shapes and sizes… and they will involve some sort of drama.  How you decide to deal with that drama is up to you.”  

The contest is open to all California residents ages 15-19, and all entries are due December 5, at 11:30 p.m. (for all you procrastinators, I recommend starting on your design before 11:29).  If you are not a resident of California, you should check out the T-shirt design anyway. 

CAUTION: The T-shirt design is highly addictive.  You may lose track of time while making your T-shirt, so make sure to have a clock nearby (in case you have to go to school, or in my case, get back to work).  

The winner of the contest receives a $1000 Apple gift card, 20 prints of his/her winning design, and a posting on the BOM411 website!  In other words, you could get a lot of cool stuff for expressing yourself.  We always have posted ways and tips for you to express your creativity to tell people about dating abuse, and we are ecstatic to hear that BOM411 knows that you guys are as creative as we have been saying!  (Also, free stuff never hurts.)  Below is a link to the contest.  Good luck to all participants… design your hearts out.
