2024 design-a-sock contest
Design-a-Sock is your chance to tell us what you want on our socks, and maybe win the opportunity to see it produced. It also happens to be one of our favorite times of year! We get to see thousands of amazing designs and interact with all of you in a way we wouldn’t otherwise. That said, we do sometimes need to sleep and eat, so we created this FAQ to answer some of your questions during this busy time. If you don’t find your question here, please leave a comment and we’ll add it!
Sock It to Me judges, including our designers and our in-house team of experts, will select the top 30 designs from all eligible entries. We will post these chosen 30 semi-finalists on our site for our fans to vote from 8/12/24 – 8/18/24 on their favorite designs. The 10 designs that receive the most votes will be entered into a final round of judging, and Sock It to Me judges will select the final 3 winners from the top 10 finalist designs. Winners will be announced on our site.
The semi-finalist judging and finalist voting will be based on the following criteria:
- Simplicity of design
- Use of a maximum of six colors
- Use of colors that are flat and solids, NO shading, blending or half tones
- Use of pattern
- Use of imagery, themes, patterns, or designs that are different from our current line
