The Decemberists obviously think that they’re pretty big stuff now after the Colbert Report challenge, because they launched another online contest. This new t-shirt contest is being put on by nifty online clothing store threadless.com.

The theme for contest entries is the Decemberists’ song “The Island.” (You can listen to it below)…Straight from the official rules:

The purpose of this competition is to create a stand-alone design inspired by the theme, not a brand tee. Your design is not required to have the theme text or brand logo on it… in fact, we prefer it does not.

The contest has lots of prizes that you should check out. The deadline for submissions is January 1, and participants can submit up to three unique designs. Cool stuff.

Stream the 12 minute song by The Decemberists “The Island” @ 100kbps (Windows Media Player Required, sorry..)
