About submissions regarding Design Challenges

Hello dear members!!

I wanted to clarify something about submissions: We do not accept deviations submitted to T-shirt or Bags or any accessories contests.

While we understand that these are created using digital media, we feel the need to draw a line. We receive too many deviations daily as it is (50 approx.), so we simply can't accept other type of submissions that are not intended to be a piece of art in its own.
The way we see it, when you design a something for a t-shirt you're doing that, designing a pattern or stamp for a t-shirt. The objective there is to create a t-shirt.  

We have absolutely no problem if you want to submit the piece of art you have created as a separate deviation, as long as it is submitted without the t-shirt -or whatever- template.
I know this may sound unfair to some of you, but we either draw this line or things simply go to hell...

This wasn't in the rules because these design challenges are kind of a new thing here, but we are enforcing it.

Thanks and hope you guys understand

Cheers!
