From stickers to badges to cardholders, we’ve heard and seen some super cool ideas for new merch here in the forum and via Twitter. Some of our customers have gone one step further to turn these ideas to reality!!

To celebrate of the abundance of talent and imagination across the Monzo community, we’re launching a competition to find a brand new t shirt design created by one of our customers

We’re looking for originality, creative flair, an eye for detail and a sense of humour! If you think you’ve got this combination covered, you could be onto a winner👌 You needn’t be an expert in catwalk trends to create something awesome - even if you’ve no experience in drawing or graphic design, we’d love to see what you come up with!

To get involved simply download the templates here and add your design. Once complete upload them to this thread with a short bit of blurb to introduce your design to the wider community. The templates contain all the details and guidelines you need.

Entries close on Friday 15th September at which point we’ll launch a poll of our favourite 3 designs. You’ll have a week to vote for your favourite design, and we’ll announce the final winner on the community forum on Friday the 22nd of September (they will also be notified via email!).

We’ll turn the one winning entry into a screen printed Monzo tee (the first ever community designed item of swag!) which we’ll give away free at meetups and events

To get those creative juices flowing check out @sam’s mock ups below. For more inspiration head to our Teemill store to see some of our previous tee designs. Please only submit one design during the entry period.

Any personal information provided in your submission will be collected, stored and processed under the Data Protection Act and you can view our full privacy policy here. By submitting your idea you give Monzo permission reproduce design if chosen as the winner, but also maintain ownership of that design if you would like to use it elsewhere also.

For any questions please email naji@monzo.com. Good luck!
