Once again, to empower the ranks of Emerican youth, we posted a T-shirt template here on the site for you to print out and draw the most creative Emerica T-shirt graphic you could muster. And muster you did! We received at least a couple of thousand entries total via email and snail mail, sifted through them all, thinned out the herd, and came up with these five winning beauties—all lovingly and painstakingly designed by you ever-creative Kids in Emerica! To give them props, each winner’s name, age and hometown is screen-printed on the inside bottom cuff of each shirt.

Rooted by Shane W, age 15, from Omaha, Nebraska.

Winged by Luca L., age 18, from Rosa, Italy.

Emeritoon by Nick B., age 16, from Poland, Ohio.

Tree City by Shayne B, age 20, from Lake Helen, Florida.

Dripper by Tatum T., age 21, from Deltona, Florida.

Each winner will receive three pairs of Emerica shoes of their choice and a T-shirt bearing their winning design—not to mention full bragging rights for designing a T-shirt graphic that has been included in the official Spring 2006 Emerica Apparel line.

We’d sincerely like to thank everyone who entered the Emerica Design-A-Tee III contest. We had a blast sorting through all of your insane designs. Keep your eyes peeled for more online contests and other action here at emericaskate.com, your source for everything Emerica.
