Came across another T-Shirt design space similar to Threadless and Designbyhumans - except this one made by an Australian crew, i do believe. 
Here’s what they said about themselves :

Wooshka is a continuous t-shirt design comp where you, the Wooshka community, get to submit design ideas, help decide which designs go to print as well voting on many other important decisions. Essentially, it’s your very own tee brand!

Every few weeks the latest winners are announced and their design will be printed and made available for purchase from the Wooshka online shop. Just 500 units of each shirt is printed to ensure the prints remain as limited edition.
The participants who submit the winning designs, as selected by Wooshka after score and comment review, will win cash and a Wooshka Gift Voucher when the design is first printed

I came across something very cool last night, whilst browing thru the Doc Marten’s Boot website! Currently until 28th of July 2008 they have a Design a Doc Marten boot Competition, where winners will win £1,000 British pounds and also get their design made up into real boots and sold worldwide!

This design is the first one i made (and i plan to make more, cuz its quite fun!) and it goes via a people Voting system of Love or Hate (you like it, or you don’t). Each person (computer IP) is allowed to vote once, every 24hour, to prevent rigging and self voting. Click on the Boot to Vote for me (no registration needed).

Read further down if you want to know how you can design a boot for Doc Martens!

A GIFT OF ART is a group of international photographers who have united together for a cause, donating the proceeds from the sale of their art to selected charity organisations.

The group, A Photographer’s Craft, which is made up of artists from all over the world and are linked together in Redbubble, an internet-based community, launchs their first charity fundraiser, for Cancer Research from May-August 2008.

The donated works from each participating group member can be viewed and purchased at their virtual gallery, The Gift of Art.

All of the proceeds will be donated to the National Cancer Institute, a division of the National Institute of Health, which has provided more than 70 years of excellence in cancer research around the world.

Photographic works are professionally printed on high quality papers and canvases and are available in a variety of sizes with custom frames and mats.

A Photographer’s Craft group hopes that bringing together international artists will aid an international health concern. The group aims to promote art’s ability to communicate the human condition, contribute to cancer research, celebrate survivors, and honor those we have lost.
