- Why is there a specific gallery for you? Because even if laFraise is mostly French, we need the international designers to have a place to submit their designs and comment in their own language.

- What is to be won? 1000 Euros if you pass through the selections, the votes and our final decision!! 500 collector t-shirts will be printed, with you name on the neck, and you’ll be free to use the design again - it does not belong to us just because we decided to use it.

- How many winners? Two each month. But since the quality is increasing, we plan to change up sooner or later for one winner each week.

- Who does the first selection? Her name is Kathrin :)

- I heard about something called Vice magazine… Yeah, it’s here too :) Each month, we select a specific design, from any gallery, and it gives you an additional chance to be printed.

1) Classics winner

Our Classics winners will be chosen according to more traditional “laFraise style” but we still want the EU winners to be quite something different than the winners from either DE or FR. The French part often gets critique for “too many cutesy cute animal designs” getting printed and in a way some of that is well deserved. That’s what the French seem to want though and ultimately it’s about the people’s choice. Still we want each of our sites to have it’s own style and for EU & DE that style is something we’re finding on our way. Avoid imitating winning designs from the past. That won’t get you or us anywhere. The Classics winners are intended to be a bit more polished than the Vice winners. If your design is chosen as the Classics winner you will receive 1000 euros and we will print 500 pieces of your design on t-shirts.

2) Vice winner

We’re cooperating with Vice Magazine UK and in addition to the 1000 euros a Classics winner gets a Vice winner also gets an interview on their mag’s next issue. While there aren’t any real guidelines for style (expect the simple “you’ve got to have it!”) these winners will be different from the Classics winners stylewise. It would be easy to say that we’re looking for “trashier” or “less commercial” designs here but that would point you to a certain direction and wouldn’t really be the truth either. To be honest we don’t really know what we’re looking for. Something slightly surreal? More of a hand drawn feel? Cutting edge tech-style? That’s up to you to decide. Checking the Vice Magazine’s website might prove to be helpful.
