WHO WERE YOU?

Saturday, February 27, 2010

And the Finalists Are . . .

The panel of experts wants you to know how difficult this decision was! There were over sixty entries in the 1000 Contest, and they were all amazing. You guys should start your own t-shirt company. (And then use the proceeds to take over the world. Mwwahahaha.)

Alas, only five t-shirts could be chosen as finalists. The experts looked for designs that were creative, fashionable, and different from anything else they had seen.

Now it's your turn! Comment on this post to vote for your favorite. One vote per person only, which means PLEASE DO NOT VOTE ANONYMOUSLY. If I suspect cheating, I will contact the FBI. Then I'll figure out what to do. But you can rest assured that CHEATING WILL MAKE ME VERY UNHAPPY.

Also, please use your imaginations. Some of the designs are rougher than others, but all the shirts will look great in the end!

ENTRY #1




ENTRY #2





ENTRY #3





ENTRY #4





ENTRY #5

    ReplyDelete
  4. I like entry number 3. I think it is the most mysterious.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I like Entry 1. It has mystery...


    I didn't make it! :(
    Will you put up some of the other good designs that didn't make it? Like maybe *wink wink* one with a loch ness monster, hand, or city on it????

    ReplyDelete
  6. I liked them all, but entry 3 is mysterious. I loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Number 3 is clearly the strongest entry no doubt i vote for 3.

    ReplyDelete
  8. entry #4. wish i got a chance to get mine in. darn. congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Congrats to all the finalists! They're all really good....but I'm going to go with #2, very clever.

    (Kitty, I too, didn't know we had to draw it ON a shirt outline...oh well)

    Yes, Kirsten, can you post some honorable mentions. Even if they're not mine, it's fun to see all the designs.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ehh maybe next time! But everyone did a super job! (plus I'm a writer not an artist haha) I must say I'm stuck between 2 & 3 but I going to go with 3. Congrats every one on a super job!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I LOVE THESE
    number 2, definitely.

    PLEASE please say it will be on sale, because if so I'd buy it...
    as long as it were centred and the background were cut out properly. and there were a different font.

    But I love the idea.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I really like #3, but I think #2 is the cleverest. So my vote goes to #2!

    ReplyDelete
  13. thats not fair that we had to drow it on a tee shirt she NEVER SAID WE HAD TO

    ReplyDelete
  14. I vote number 3

    It never said we had to do it in a tee shirt shape
    it said we could write or draw your idea never to put it in a tee shirt desine!
    but congrats to evey 1!

    ReplyDelete
  15. i love #3 so my vote is 3.i would buy it if it was a real shirt, so creative! everyone vote for three!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Anonymous: You didn't have to draw on a t-shirt. It's just a coincidence that the five finalists did. There were several other ideas that came very close that weren't even drawn at all!

    ReplyDelete
  17. oh I LOVE entry 2! my vote goes to that one!

    ReplyDelete
  18. th rules were
    The t-shirt does not need to show Kiki Strike, but it must be in the spirit of the books. The design can feature an illustration, photo, or even a phrase. So it doesn't matter if you prefer to write or draw--your talents can be put to work!

    A panel of experts will choose five finalists. Those five

    NOT that it had 2b in a tee shirt thingy

    ReplyDelete
  19. OMG! they are all so good! But my pick has to be #4!

    ReplyDelete
  20. No! I didn't make it! :( oh well...a spy never cries. But hmmmmm.......#2 is definitely the best! Go #2!

    ReplyDelete
  21. QUESTION FOR KIKI:
    When does voting end!?!?!?!?!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I like three. It is very cool.

    ReplyDelete
  23. #1.....that's all i have to say.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I like Entry#4 the best, but they were all great!!! Also, Kirsten, can you show some of the other entries? Just to see what other people came up with.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, I almost forgot. Who were the judges? Weren't you going to tell us?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Hmmmm...my vote goes to numero 3...truly clever design!

    ReplyDelete
  27. AAAAAAAAAAA! I forgot to submit my entry! Anyways, all of these were great, but I liked #1 the best!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love them all! Number two is fabulous but doesn't have much to do with Kiki Strike. I have to go with number three. Hey, by the way, I think Iris McLeod needs to be included sometime!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Entry 1 is my favorite..............

    ReplyDelete
  30. Wow!!
    At first i was between 1;4; and 5
    but with #4 if any average kid..(haha)would ask what to explain

    so between 1 and 5
    well with 1 you it said kiki strike on it
    and with 5 you have to know the books to get it!

    So I pick 5..only the true readers and lovers of your story would understand it!

    ReplyDelete
  31. four. that is really cool and i could see a lot of people wearing it. 3 was good too. but final vote...FOUR

    ReplyDelete
  32. Number 5- very cool

    ReplyDelete
  33. Definitly entry #3!
    IT IS SOO AWESOME!!!
    i wish i could wear it!

    ReplyDelete
  34. They are all ok, but 5 takes the cake

    ReplyDelete
  35. I'm kind of biased, but I vote for #1

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ah.... they all look awesome tho!!! I respect anyone with true artisic skill sense i have none ;) and all the entries quailify! (im really bad at spelling and its early so please forgive me)

    My vote: #1

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like #5... the ladder seems to lead to mysteries underground to be solved. And I like the call to action!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Number ONE!!! It's awesome. If it doesn't win, I might copy the design and make it myself (or not. I'm not good at tracing).

    ReplyDelete
  47. Undiscovered UniverseFebruary 27, 2010 at 4:47 PM

    BTW, I agree I'm a fan of the idea of putting up honerable mentions!


    And also all you guys who are angry about having the t-shirt be a background, it didn't have to be, it's coincidence that it was, so calm down? It's really nice of Kirsten to make this contest for us!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hey I've tried this 4 times but it doesn't seem to post... I'm trying to vote for #5 !!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I vote for number 3!!!!!! NO CONTEST WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #3 is DEFINITEly the best and I strongly believe that #3 should win so vote for 3!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. i chose number 2 but number 4 is my second favorite... Where's Luz on the 3rd one?
    Reel Dancer :p

    ReplyDelete
  51. @alli the totally wicked novelist:

    what do you mean "it doesn't have much to do with the books?"
    You need to read the actual Ananka's Diary. (check the archives of this blog).

    ReplyDelete
  52. i would have to vote for number 3 because it is very creative and modern (my two favorite qualities in art). i was kinda torn between 2 and 3 but 3 represents the awesome series of Kiki Strike's adventures better. I don't remember there being opera glasses in the books.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I vote for number 5. Is is clean and simple.

    ReplyDelete
  54. All are excellent but I vote for #5. It is the most creative and imaginative! Good luck to all!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Mike in Westchester says all are excellent. I vote for #5. It is the most creative and imaginative! Good luck to all!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I vote #1 it's well drawn and thing is I know that I've drawn it before in my math book. I wouldn't mind if the others won though. I hope there can be honorable mentions!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I luv the retro T #5! It uniquely depicts many of the original elements of the book!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Lioness (whose...nvm)February 27, 2010 at 6:14 PM

    Numero uno! great job!

    ReplyDelete
  59. WOW!!! I vote for entry #3.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I vote for #5 :3

    ReplyDelete
  61. I vote #3 because it just is a very simple, neat, way to represent the characters in the series. But she did leave out 1 of the characters (though it doesn't really matter. I still LOVE the t-shirt).

    ReplyDelete
  62. I vote for # 3. its cool, and very modern looking!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hurray for #5!!! Pretty sweet, and cute cartoony and everything!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Entry number 2 contains my new favorite saying

    ReplyDelete
  65. Oooh, I liked all of them. :3 I noticed that a lot of people are voting for number 3, which I thought was good, but it's missing Luz Lopez D: I think that if that one is picked (which it looks like it will, Luz should be added.

    However, I am gonna vote for Number 1. I liked it a lot, and I think that, with some dark colors, it could look really awesome. :3

    ReplyDelete
  66. I like #3 if you would add Luz to it!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Okay yes, i did make Number 3, and if possible i would be morre than happy to add luz lopez....I made this shirt ten min before midnight, and wasnt thinking straight!!!! Luz is my favorite...And i will be more than happy to add it if i win!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  96. darn, i didn't make it. {but since i suggested the contest, i guess it would be unfair for me to finalize}

    my my. this is really a difficult decision... i suppose 3? though they left out Luz D:
    but still 3.

    yeah, i'd like to see some honorable mentions as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  97. can't you tell?? #5 is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  98. I like... the third one. But I do think that the pictures of Kiki and such should be on the back, and the Irregulars logo should be on the front near where a pen pocket would go. (:
    Congratulations guys.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  113. Guys i need to vote 3, cuz its nice, and clean. And its obvious that the person that made 5 is chaeting...And thats no right. All of them say the same thing, and its not right. Number 5, stop it. KKirsten doesnt aprrove of cheating so why?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  115. STOP: It isn't cheating. I'm sure everyone had their friends vote for them. But it has gotten to be a bit much. This contest was for those of us who spend time on the blog.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Question For Kiki: I had all my family vote, and friends, now all their votes are gone... I counted the votes, and i am not wining. Beter Luck next time? Its okay, everyone worked very hard so congrats to all of you!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Rosemary: The rules have changed, so your family's votes will no longer count. However, no votes have been--or will be--removed from this post. If you don't see what you're looking for, you should look again.

    ReplyDelete

  121. Hi all,
    I had posted on fb that i was a finalist. My friends voted for me and then apparently then sent it to their friends. I didn't know this until now. I am really truly sorry! I didn't mean for it to get out of hand. Sorry again!
    Chloe

    ReplyDelete
  122. Chloe: No worries! I figured something like that had happened. So don't worry about it at all. Congrats on being a finalist!
