T-Shirt Design Contest: The goal of this contest is to create a T-Shirt with a reformational theme. A secondary goal is to make it not only meaningful but stylish so that visitors to Monergism will want to wear them to help promote the site. The concept could be something as simple as designing a cool looking image with the five solas, the five points of Calvinism, or a focus in on one specific point like effectual grace (John 6:63-64, 37) or bondage of the will and can include attendant images and biblical text that help communicate that theme. Our previous T-shirt designs, the Monergism John Calvin T, and the Particular Redemption T were both designed with these principles in mind but were created in-house. We now want to put the challenge to you. The top design contenders will have their designs posted and displayed for all to see and the winning design will be printed up and carried by our online store.
