# How to Participate?
---
1. Learn more about what a phoenix is at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)) along with references in popular culture at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_in_popular_culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_in_popular_culture).  I want a phoenix because this is my inner reality which I think would be beautiful to share on a shirt.
2. **Create an original graphic design of a phoenix.**  I like the fiery red and orange phoenix similar to this CC0 pixabay image I used as a cover.  Unlike the image here, I would prefer the phoenix facing forward on a transparent background because this can then go on many colors of shirts.  That said, I trust your design judgement and encourage submissions of multiple designs all in one post.
3. **Make a post on Steem with "Phoenix Design Contest!" in the title** and **use tag jerrybanfield as the first tag on the post** because this will help me see it.  In that post, would you please show the design(s) you would like to submit along with your creative process including screenshots of beginning the design, half finished, almost done, etc. because this will help you showcase your talents as an artist for others to discover indefinitely?
4. When I see your post on the jerrybanfield tag at https://steemit.com/trending/jerrybanfield, I will give you an upvote to show I noticed it.
5. If I love your design(s), I will give you a 100% upvote and invite you to join Airtable at https://airtable.com/invite/r/qGLfO5Yn in a reply to your post because I get a $10 credit if you join and can invite you directly to collaborate on a spreadsheet where you can submit the final design.
6. After joining Airtable, upload the final image as an attachment in the image field with the following specifications: 15"W x 18"H @ 300ppi (i.e. 4500 x 5400 pixels), sRGB, and less than 25MB.  By submitting your design to the Airtable spreadsheet, you are agreeing to share copyright with me for life.
7. When I download the image, I will then upload it on a shirt on Amazon Merch and submit it for approval. Amazon will review the design and either approve it or request changes.
8. Once the design is approved, I will order the shirt in three colors!  As soon as I receive the shirt and love it, I will prepare the post announcing you as the winner, send the 200 Steem, and add you to my @steemvoter!

Thank you for reading this and I am excited about our opportunity to collaborate!

Love,
Jerry Banfield
