Up to 5 winning designs will be uploaded onto our e-commerce website for sale along with the artist’s information and portfolio. The winners will receive a share of the profit made by the sales of their designs, gain additional exposure via POD’s marketing efforts, and be invited to judge the next design challenge with the POD team.
The POD Briefs will range from Brand Collaborations, Charity Campaigns, Commissioned Challenges, Internal Challenges, and much more.

Artwork & Printing
ScreenPrinting 101
Screen printing is the process of pressing ink through a stenciled mesh screen to create a printed design. The process is sometimes called silk screen printing. Screen printing is an effective technique for creating bold visuals outcomes, the method is highly versatile and can be used to print on almost every surface.
Rather than printing in bulk through a factory and sitting on large quantities of stock. We take it upon ourselves to scale down the production to minimize our carbon footprint of each product. For every order, we Print on Demand.
