We know you wanted this prize split, but it didn’t feel right as we’d advertised a certain prize, and we should honour that. So the la Fraise gang picked:

Pascalphilly

A one man OLP machine. One of the first to take part (he submitted our fourth logo with invitation back in wk1). Our top submitter (44 entries at last count), our top commentor (something like 200 comments). I don’t think anyone has spent more time on the OLP than Pascalphilly. Came close to the short and grand final lists 101 times but somehow kept missing out on that Grand Finalists spot. But his innovative concepts and advice helped numerous others with their entries. The prize is a thanks for us and la Fraise for his role in our community, particularly in kick starting the contest with a bang.

He wins a whole years worth of t-shirts from la Fraise Europe’s Largest t-shirt design site. In total thats about 100 shirts!!!!

Heres a sample of some recent shirts:

Also two other people we should mention

Mootsie.

The la Fraise gang loved your style and approach! Excellent designs that our both playful & funny. Their all time favourite OLP entry being Trust Moustache. So you win 5 free la Fraise shirts of your choice!!!

T-shirtTalk

The best external supporter of the OLP. Provided the collages of all the entries each week, but also interesting commentary and insights about the competition. We actually used the collages internally to promote the contest. The prize comes from us rather than la Fraise so its a special super secret Spreadshirt prize pack of goodies. Thanks for your support t-shirt talk!

For anyone that wants to stay involved with this style of competition we highly recommend you go and try your luck over at la Fraise, the English language part is just starting and you can expect a warm welcome. Read about la Fraise here

Mootsie and Pascal send us photos of you in your new shirts and we hope to see more of your work over at la Fraise in the future!!

Thanks to everyone who made OLP so fun to hang around in, it became seriously addictive to us and I guess to some of you.

    Congrats to Pascalphilly & Mootsie that you really deserve this prize! :) I think it was a right decision to pick you and spreadshirt’s reasons are absolutely comprehensible!

    thanks adam it was really one of the best contest i participate here really - i like specially the feedback and the fairplay of all graphic designer japasa and also jebs , pascal, kim, mootsie and also ikou i mean all the graphics that have motivated us to make always better works and who contributed to make a good contest with quality designs :) in a real good ambiance ;)

    congrats Pascalphilly, you will love the prize believe me :-)
    too bad SS didn’t split the prizes, i think it would have been more interesting for everybody, even for the winner lol (100 tee shirts is something crazy isn’t it? ^^)

    i thought i had a chance but i losed again, this contest was not for me i guess ;-)

    Pascal: ENJOY!!!! ;-)

    congrats everybody!

  8. 8 by shirtnerd | Oct 30th, 2007 at 2:06 pm

    congratulations Pascal & Mootsie :))

    and i fully agree with Jebs… i would have been happy, if i had obtained at least half a t-shirt :)
    but i suppose, if i would have won 100 shirts, i would have done something like this:

    but maybe I’m just too much of a shirt-nerd ;)

    anyways …. taking part was a huge reward in its own right.
    Pascal, I guess you will need to buy a really long clothesline and an industrial washingmachine right now. and you’ll have to change shirts every hour if you want to use them all up in a single week ;)

    it was really nice to fool around with you guys :)))
    see you all in shirt-heaven!

  10. 10 by AlexanderWende | Oct 30th, 2007 at 4:32 pm

    Congrats to Mootsi & Pascal, you two really deserve it!!

    I love the moustache man maan!

  11. 11 by Japasa | Oct 30th, 2007 at 4:50 pm

    Mootsie, could you upload moustache in la fraise? ;) I think it is good idea if you will do that because moustache is still very popular… :)

  12. 12 by Pascalphilly | Oct 30th, 2007 at 4:58 pm

    Thanks for this kind of appreciation to my work and for the weeks invested in the OLP.
    Thanks to everyone!

  13. 13 by adam | Oct 30th, 2007 at 5:08 pm

    I’d vote for the moustache! Upload an adapted t-shirt version Mootsie and lets start a campaign to get it printed.

    I would be glad to put a shirt version of moustache man on la fraise, but at the moment he is running for the cplove shirt contest. As soon as he’ll be free I’ll think at a new version…
