Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! Who’s starring in the design on your next tee? SpongeBob SquarePants!

Dive into the world of Bikini Bottom to create a t-shirt design that celebrates SpongeBob and the colorful crustaceans and other sea creatures that frequent the Krusty Krab. Whether he’s cleaning up the slime trail left by his pet snail Gary, seeking adventure with his best bud Patrick, or trying to get his grumpy coworker Squidward to have a little fun, SpongeBob is always filled with optimism and enthusiasm.

Bring that sunny outlook to a design that will make waves. Are you ready, artists? “Aye aye, captain!”

The Internet has changed more than how we work, shop, and socialize. It has also disrupted the promise of a safe childhood for victims of child trafficking. Technology has made it easier for child predators to create and share exploitative content and connect with like-minded individuals. More can be done to stop them.

It's the mission of Thorn, an organization continuing the work started by the Demi and Ashton (DNA) Foundation in 2009, to be the digital defenders of children. Thorn aims to use technology to combat the behavior of online predators and sex traffickers. By creating a design for this challenge, you can help raise awareness for the organization’s mission to make the web safer place for kids. 25% of net sales from the winning tee will benefit the organization.

Take inspiration from how we can be better digital defenders for children who can’t defend themselves. Create a hopeful design about a predator-free future where kids can just be kids, both online and offline.

Every second of the Flaming Lips experience is an intoxicating fever dream—from the spaced out melodies and hazy guitars of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots to the uncharted dusky terrain of their latest album, The Terror. If you’ve ever watched frontman Wayne Coyne crowdsurf inside a giant plastic bubble at one of their ethereal live shows or hooked up four stereos to give a spin to Zaireeka, an album of four discs meant to be played simultaneously, you know: No band blends psychedelic imagination and pop euphoria quite like The Flaming Lips.

Channel the mind-bending trip that is The Flaming Lips to create a weird, wonderful t-shirt design.

Take cues from the sunny optimism of “Do You Realize?” and “Race for the Prize,” the immersive shadows of The Terror, or the acid-streaked elements of their legendary live shows to design a tee worthy of Wayne & co. You can use an existing Flaming Lips logo, no logo at all, or get creative and make your own.

Be fearless, freaked out, absurd—anything but conventional.
