Crowdspring, "a reddit of design", will have it's graphic designers submit potential reddit t-shirt ideas to it's contest area. Here's an example of a recent design contest for Center for Interdisciplinary Education and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA), the difference in this contest is that redditor voting will then choose which of the Crowdspring designs will become the NEXT next reddit t-shirt to be sold on store.reddit.com. By the way, if you haven't seen it yet, this is the next t-shirt, due to arrive...soon.
Artists from Crowdspring will be reading all of the comments on the official "bring our ideas to life" thread HERE for inspiration, so inspire their artistic fire. Designers may take the top voted suggestion and execute it faithfully, or they may create a multi-suggestion, narwhal-horned chimera, or they may create a t-shirt worthy design from a reddit-inspired dream, but in any case redditors will be voting on which design becomes the next t-shirt. If any redditors are also designers, you are not only welcome to participate, you are also karmically obligated. Sign up here. Crowdspring will post the contest, and designers will start executing your ideas on Friday June 26th, so reddit you have 24 hours to generate shirt ideas.
