And the Finalists Are . . .
The panel of experts wants you to know how difficult this decision was! There were over sixty entries in the 1000 Contest, and they were all amazing. You guys should start your own t-shirt company. (And then use the proceeds to take over the world. Mwwahahaha.)
Alas, only five t-shirts could be chosen as finalists. The experts looked for designs that were creative, fashionable, and different from anything else they had seen.
Now it's your turn! Comment on this post to vote for your favorite. One vote per person only, which means PLEASE DO NOT VOTE ANONYMOUSLY. If I suspect cheating, I will contact the FBI. Then I'll figure out what to do. But you can rest assured that CHEATING WILL MAKE ME VERY UNHAPPY.
Also, please use your imaginations. Some of the designs are rougher than others, but all the shirts will look great in the end!

I vote for the Third one. Its cleaner, but the competion is strong. Still, entry 3.
CONGRADULATIONS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! >w<
I like all of them but... We can vote for only 1 right? D:
I'll go with #3 X3 then!!
[Btw, sorry for submitting the pictures in the wrong format XD I didn't know I had to draw the picture on a t-shirt rofl ^^']
I like entry number 3. I think it is the most mysterious.
I like Entry 1. It has mystery...
I didn't make it! :(
Will you put up some of the other good designs that didn't make it? Like maybe *wink wink* one with a loch ness monster, hand, or city on it????

I liked them all, but entry 3 is mysterious. I loved it.
The second one is epic win 8D
Number 3 is clearly the strongest entry no doubt i vote for 3.
entry #4. wish i got a chance to get mine in. darn. congrats!
Ehh maybe next time! But everyone did a super job! (plus I'm a writer not an artist haha) I must say I'm stuck between 2 & 3 but I going to go with 3. Congrats every one on a super job!
Congrats to all the finalists! They're all really good....but I'm going to go with #2, very clever.
(Kitty, I too, didn't know we had to draw it ON a shirt outline...oh well)
Yes, Kirsten, can you post some honorable mentions. Even if they're not mine, it's fun to see all the designs.
I LOVE THESE
number 2, definitely.
PLEASE please say it will be on sale, because if so I'd buy it...
as long as it were centred and the background were cut out properly. and there were a different font.
But I love the idea.
i like the first one
I really like #3, but I think #2 is the cleverest. So my vote goes to #2!
thats not fair that we had to drow it on a tee shirt she NEVER SAID WE HAD TO
Anonymous: You didn't have to draw on a t-shirt. It's just a coincidence that the five finalists did. There were several other ideas that came very close that weren't even drawn at all!
i love #3 so my vote is 3.i would buy it if it was a real shirt, so creative! everyone vote for three!!
I vote number 3
It never said we had to do it in a tee shirt shape
it said we could write or draw your idea never to put it in a tee shirt desine!
but congrats to evey 1!
oh I LOVE entry 2! my vote goes to that one!
th rules were
The t-shirt does not need to show Kiki Strike, but it must be in the spirit of the books. The design can feature an illustration, photo, or even a phrase. So it doesn't matter if you prefer to write or draw--your talents can be put to work!
A panel of experts will choose five finalists. Those five
NOT that it had 2b in a tee shirt thingy
OMG! they are all so good! But my pick has to be #4!
No! I didn't make it! :( oh well...a spy never cries. But hmmmmm.......#2 is definitely the best! Go #2!
QUESTION FOR KIKI:
When does voting end!?!?!?!?!
I like three. It is very cool.
#1.....that's all i have to say.
I like Entry#4 the best, but they were all great!!! Also, Kirsten, can you show some of the other entries? Just to see what other people came up with.
Oh, I almost forgot. Who were the judges? Weren't you going to tell us?
Hmmmm...my vote goes to numero 3...truly clever design!
I vote for #5.
entry #3!
AAAAAAAAAAA! I forgot to submit my entry! Anyways, all of these were great, but I liked #1 the best!
I love them all! Number two is fabulous but doesn't have much to do with Kiki Strike. I have to go with number three. Hey, by the way, I think Iris McLeod needs to be included sometime!
Entry 1 is my favorite..............
Wow!!
At first i was between 1;4; and 5
but with #4 if any average kid..(haha)would ask what to explain
so between 1 and 5
well with 1 you it said kiki strike on it
and with 5 you have to know the books to get it!
So I pick 5..only the true readers and lovers of your story would understand it!
four. that is really cool and i could see a lot of people wearing it. 3 was good too. but final vote...FOUR
Entry 5.
Number 5- very cool
Definitly entry #3!
IT IS SOO AWESOME!!!
i wish i could wear it!
#5 ALL THE WAY
YAY #5
i vote for the third one!
I like #5
They are all ok, but 5 takes the cake
I'm kind of biased, but I vote for #1
I vote for #2, its very funny
Ah.... they all look awesome tho!!! I respect anyone with true artisic skill sense i have none ;) and all the entries quailify! (im really bad at spelling and its early so please forgive me)
My vote: #1
(if you can picture #1 in some dark, mysterious colors... that'd look so cool)
@Anaka: Okay XD
Vote for #5 =]
Entry......... 3
:) Good luck finalists!!
Hi I drew design #1, so if you like it please vote! but really just vote for your favorite (even if its not mine)
OK, #2 is AWESOME! I could definitely wear that to school.
I like #3 and all, but #2 has my vote for sure!
2 3 4 5 LOL i like almost all
<3 entry 5!
I like #5... the ladder makes me think there are mysteries undeground to be solved. And I like the call to action!
I like #5... the ladder seems to lead to mysteries underground to be solved. And I like the call to action!
Number ONE!!! It's awesome. If it doesn't win, I might copy the design and make it myself (or not. I'm not good at tracing).
kikistrike4ever:
it ends 2marrow
P.s can you pritttteee prettee please show some of the other 1z that didnt make the top 5
Darn it! Oh well, these are all SO great!!!!
I like 4 for sure though!
BTW, I agree I'm a fan of the idea of putting up honerable mentions!
And also all you guys who are angry about having the t-shirt be a background, it didn't have to be, it's coincidence that it was, so calm down? It's really nice of Kirsten to make this contest for us!
Hey I've tried this 4 times but it doesn't seem to post... I'm trying to vote for #5 !!!
I vote for number 3!!!!!! NO CONTEST WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! #3 is DEFINITEly the best and I strongly believe that #3 should win so vote for 3!!!!!!
i chose number 2 but number 4 is my second favorite... Where's Luz on the 3rd one?
Reel Dancer :p
@alli the totally wicked novelist:
what do you mean "it doesn't have much to do with the books?"
You need to read the actual Ananka's Diary. (check the archives of this blog).
i would have to vote for number 3 because it is very creative and modern (my two favorite qualities in art). i was kinda torn between 2 and 3 but 3 represents the awesome series of Kiki Strike's adventures better. I don't remember there being opera glasses in the books.
I vote for number 5. Is is clean and simple.
number 5 is the best
All are excellent but I vote for #5. It is the most creative and imaginative! Good luck to all!
Mike in Westchester says all are excellent. I vote for #5. It is the most creative and imaginative! Good luck to all!
my vote is for #2!
I vote for entry #2 :)
Entry 3. Absolutely.
I vote #1 it's well drawn and thing is I know that I've drawn it before in my math book. I wouldn't mind if the others won though. I hope there can be honorable mentions!!
I luv the retro T #5! It uniquely depicts many of the original elements of the book!
Numero uno! great job!
WOW!!! I vote for entry #3.
I vote for entry 3.
I vote for entry #3
I vote for #5 :3
I vote #3. :)
I vote #3 because it just is a very simple, neat, way to represent the characters in the series. But she did leave out 1 of the characters (though it doesn't really matter. I still LOVE the t-shirt).
I vote for # 3. its cool, and very modern looking!
Two.
Entry # 5
Hurray for #5!!! Pretty sweet, and cute cartoony and everything!
Entry number 2 contains my new favorite saying
Oooh, I liked all of them. :3 I noticed that a lot of people are voting for number 3, which I thought was good, but it's missing Luz Lopez D: I think that if that one is picked (which it looks like it will, Luz should be added.
However, I am gonna vote for Number 1. I liked it a lot, and I think that, with some dark colors, it could look really awesome. :3
I like #3 if you would add Luz to it!
Okay yes, i did make Number 3, and if possible i would be morre than happy to add luz lopez....I made this shirt ten min before midnight, and wasnt thinking straight!!!! Luz is my favorite...And i will be more than happy to add it if i win!!
I loveeeeee #5. Very cool
Everyone: Please, no anonymous votes!

oops, the one that said
"i like the one with the opera glasses, #3" is wrong SORRY i like #2 the best, but it should have an irregulars logo in the corner :)

I think #5 is the best!
Um... well this was personally a tough choice but i think #5 is the best
I vote for #5 i dont like shirts that are too confusing for ppl
I ♥ #5
darn, i didn't make it. {but since i suggested the contest, i guess it would be unfair for me to finalize}
my my. this is really a difficult decision... i suppose 3? though they left out Luz D:
but still 3.
yeah, i'd like to see some honorable mentions as well :)
Yo #5
can't you tell?? #5 is the best!
I like... the third one. But I do think that the pictures of Kiki and such should be on the back, and the Irregulars logo should be on the front near where a pen pocket would go. (:
Congratulations guys.
um the others have nothing to do with the site, so #5
i like #5 so i vote # 5 obv.

Renolds says 5
Go for 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey hey hey! #5
i just found this site when i was bored, and these designs are great, but what stands out to me most is #5
I'm not gonna lie, it was tough deciding each shirt has it's own Positives and Negatives. but after comparing them all i'd say 5
I think 5 is the Cutest!
mew =3 i vote for 5 =^-_-^=
Numero 5 please
Guys i need to vote 3, cuz its nice, and clean. And its obvious that the person that made 5 is chaeting...And thats no right. All of them say the same thing, and its not right. Number 5, stop it. KKirsten doesnt aprrove of cheating so why?
I voted for annoymous earlier around 2, soo i am voting again. please cast my vote for #5
STOP: It isn't cheating. I'm sure everyone had their friends vote for them. But it has gotten to be a bit much. This contest was for those of us who spend time on the blog.
Number 5.
Question For Kiki: I had all my family vote, and friends, now all their votes are gone... I counted the votes, and i am not wining. Beter Luck next time? Its okay, everyone worked very hard so congrats to all of you!
I love number three-- it is so unique and I find myself going back to look at it more closely
Rosemary: The rules have changed, so your family's votes will no longer count. However, no votes have been--or will be--removed from this post. If you don't see what you're looking for, you should look again.
Thank you very much! I will be watching every second till midnight!
Number 4 is the shizmit. Really cool. And hey, let this one count! I change my name alot so yea. RAWR! Anywho, wonderful contest. good luck to all who enteredXD (including me!)
Hi all,
I had posted on fb that i was a finalist. My friends voted for me and then apparently then sent it to their friends. I didn't know this until now. I am really truly sorry! I didn't mean for it to get out of hand. Sorry again!
Chloe
Chloe: No worries! I figured something like that had happened. So don't worry about it at all. Congrats on being a finalist!
i love all of them great job guys :) but if i have to vote then the first one :)
