Day 39: Sorry Red, pups are ineligible to win a Bestee!

The Bestee buzz has begun! The Bestee Awards honor your favorite creative minds within the Threadless community, and you have a hand in choosing the biggest winner. You've got a week (starting now thru February 14th) to vote for your favorite design of the year aka the People's Choice award. The lucky designer that wins gets $20,000 in cashola! Vote now!

We'll announce the winners for all of the other Bestee of the Year categories on March 8. In addition to our annual awards, we've a new category: Scorer of the Year. This category rewards the Threadless community member with highest correlation between scores and prints (so maybe we should call it Psychic of the Year?).

o Designer of the Year: $10K prize, plus a free trip to the annual Threadless meetup
o Unprinted Designer of the Year: $1K prize (in addition to getting one of their designs printed, they'll get the standard Threadless award of $2500 value)
o Blogger of the Year: $1K prize, plus the honor of choosing an unprinted designer to get printed, and a free trip to the annual Threadless meetup
