Contest Overview:
The OTTO T-Shirt Design Contest (the "Contest") invites participants to submit their original designs to be featured on OTTO’s official T-shirt for the upcoming season. The winning design will be printed on shirts worn by OTTO staff and available for sale in the OTTO online store. The Contest is open to all individuals, and participants are encouraged to submit their creative designs that incorporate OTTO’s brand and identity.
Eligibility:
- The Contest is open to all individuals. By entering, you confirm that you have read and agree to the official rules and regulations.

Design Specifications & Tips:
- Designs should reflect OTTO's core values and align with the OTTO brand. Submissions that might be perceived as offensive, inappropriate, controversial, or that are otherwise inconsistent with the brand will not be accepted. OTTO reserves the right to reject any design that does not meet these standards or violates any of the terms in this Agreement.
- Upon submission, designs enter an approval process before being added to the Voting Gallery. Approved submissions are typically added to the Voting Gallery within 24 hours. Entrants will be notified by email if their design does not meet our specification or guidelines, and are encouraged to enter a new or updated design.
- Important: The sooner a design is submitted, the more time it will have to accumulate votes. Designs submitted near the end of the contest may not have enough time to be approved or may not receive votes due to limited exposure in the voting gallery. We encourage participants to enter early to maximize their chances.
- Placement & Size: The winning design will be printed on the front of OTTO T-shirts. The printed design will typically be around 8"x8", but the exact size will be determined by OTTO at the time of printing and may vary slightly. Please keep this in mind when submitting your design to ensure it fits well on the shirt. Designs that are too large or too small may be adjusted to fit the designated print area.
