We will give winning artworks away as a free surprise badge with purchased stereohype T-shirts or sell them separately. Your badge design(s) might also be reprinted for promotional purposes featuring photos of your badge. Designers, artists and illustrators will - wherever possible - be appropriately credited. Please send us by email one to (a maximum of) three different badge designs per participant. Please refer to the file specifications and submission details on page 3 of the artwork guide. Please bear in mind though, that we are aiming to give them away one at a time (although sets of 3 will be made available in a special packaging).
