crowdSPRING Puts Up $500 And Provides Online Showcase For Hot New Tour Tee
Designs
CHICAGO, June 12 -- crowdSPRING, the online marketplace
for creative services, announced today that rock band Phantom Planet and
its record label Fueled by Ramen will use http://www.crowdspring.com to
find the most compelling t-shirt design for the band's upcoming tour.
Starting today and continuing through June 25, crowdSPRING will be
accepting design submissions on its website for the Phantom Planet tour
commemorative t-shirt. All designs will be reviewed and ranked by both fans
and label execs and the best one will appear on the t-shirt for Phantom
Planet's summer tour. The winning designer will receive a $500 cash award
and a shirt signed by the band members.
Southern California-based Phantom Planet, whose song California became
the theme to "The O.C." television show, released their fourth studio
album, Raise the Dead, this year and begins a new tour in July.
"We're pumped to see what comes in," said Amy Zaglauer of Fueled by
Ramen. "We wanted to open up this t-shirt design to Phantom Planet's fan
base as well as tapping all the world's talent for the best possible
result."
Launched in May, crowdSPRING's online marketplace is a valuable tool
for all small and medium businesses that are able to tap into the company's
global community of designers and review actual work submitted for the jobs
they post to the site. Now, the innovative platform developed by
crowdSPRING allows Phantom Planet fans with talent and a bright idea to
submit a t-shirt design.
"The Phantom Planet t-shirt job is a fantastic showcase for the power
of crowdSPRING," said Mike Samson, crowdSPRING's cofounder. "All of the
band's creative fans will be able to display their talent in the
crowdSPRING marketplace."
Like all crowdSPRING users, Phantom Planet will be able to choose from
actual designs and walk away with the best one.
