First off, if you aren't familiar with Threadless.com, shame on you.  The t-shirt website is a great way for artists to show off their designs and people to pick up new shirts that just can't be found out in stores.  Now, the ever popular Minecraft is teaming up with Threadless to challenge artists for new designs based on the creative game.  The designers with the top designs will win cash prizes and attend MineCon at Disneyland Resort.  Of course, the rest of us will have the chance to buy the shirts once they are available.  Be sure to check out Threadless.com to see one of the best secrets on the internet.
Both Minecraft community of 40 million gamers and the Threadless community of 2 million artists know that just a few basic tools and a big imagination can provide endless hours of fun.  In Minecraft, gamers can climb the tallest mountains, venture down the darkest caves, and build anything they can imagine. Threadless’ artists make the ideas, pick what Threadless sells, and are the reason why Threadless exists. Everything Threadless does gives artists more opportunities to make great art. Through the combined love of making and creating imaginative things, Minecraft and Threadless have partnered together to challenge Threadless’ artists and the general public to use the Minecraft worlds as inspiration for the next Threadless design.

Threadless challenged  artists and gamers alike to bring their design to life using characters, tools, blocks and their good ole' imagination to create the Threadless Loves Minecraft t-shirt design . The chosen designs were recently released at MineCon, and are now available here.
Three chosen designers received $3,000 cash, a $500 Threadless Gift Certificate and an all-expenses paid trip to attend the annual MineCon convention at Disneyland Resort in Paris, which took place November 24-25, 2012.
