What do you all think about Adidas flying the winner of the T-Mac 4 rendering to meet McGrady in person? The winner will also get a chance to present his/her winning design.
This should be a great opportunity for the talented designers out there. |

Sotiris, I think if you go into the artist series page, there are the details on how to submit a rendering for the contest. just make a design and submit it. |

KG,I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with these t-mac 4 designs. Hopefully I can submit one in, that's the hard part for me. I've actually just finished my t-mac 4 design ( after 6 sketches and 4 days). I still want to refine it though. You might see it posted here. But then again, you might not. |

By the way KG, I love this website you all have put up. I want to contribute somehow in the future. I know now that I'm not the only shoenut. I wish I could just talk to you all on the phone, but I guess this website is good enough. I can talk about shoes all day long. |

Raymond,
We'll be looking forward to your designs. It seems like EVERYone is gearing up for the TMac rendering and forgetting about Yao's shoe. It'd be alot easier to win March rather than April's Artist Series in my opinion.

Thanks Ed. I got a Yao design in the works. I feel stupid asking this question but it's a must. Is Yao with Reebok or Nike? I know he was having contract agreements processing a few months ago. I'm thinkin Reebok because I saw an All- Star version with his name on it in the new March edition SLAM magazine. If that's the case, I'm good to go; I've done a few Reeboks here and there. |

If you would read KG's News section dated last september, you should know that Yao is with Reebok =) |

I like those first 2 lebrons better than some in the contest... how are the finalist chosen? Matter of fact I would have voted for the 1st one out of all of them. |

Hey KG, I've been drawing concept shoes on my own for a while (several years) and I just recently became a member of KG. My question is about the basic things to look for when purchasing a quality scanner. I'm also fooling around with photoshop now so I also want the best for this application as well. Wait til you see my T-Mac IV. |

Welcome Josh. Regarding a scanner, you should probably check out the electronics forums. Most of the renderings submitted use a variety of tools like adobe photoshop, paint shop pro and adobe illustrator. We'll be looking forward to your submission. |

hey it says some stuff 'bout how you can't cheat by voting . does this mean you can't vote for yourself? |

You can vote for yourself (1 vote). What is considered cheating is creating multiple user accounts and vote. The system will check against that and discount those votes. The last violator was disqualified from the contest. |

Not every design submitted will be shown as a finalist or even here in the chat.
There are just so many renderings submitted we can only choose to show the best ones.
The finalists for the Yao will be announced before the end of the month, we're still waiting for all the staff members to gather their selections together. |

could you send a reply email to contestants so they know their work is recieved, or we could also send it twice, cause everyone really wants to see t-mac, and even better, talk to him and see him wearing their very own design. |
