I came across graniph a few years back during my time living in Tokyo, and have been in love with their bright, colorful graphic tees ever since. They also have a very impressive roster of artists, which is definitely worth a look.

The Japanese company has launched their great annual contest open to designers all over the globe — the graniph Design Award 2012. Aiming to support the development of artists and designers worldwide, this is a perfect contest to enter if you’re an established or aspiring designer (and wanna be big in Japan!) (＾▽＾)

graniph‘s design award is back for 2012 – a global t-shirt design competition with a strong history of introducing up-and-coming and established design talent to Japan and the world. With total past entries of over 30,000, we’re looking forward to digging out a whole lot more this year.
