Canvas Threads is a site that's new to me- focusing on Christian designs (much like Red Is White, another site I've featured here in the past), and using a contest to crowdsource the cream of the crop. While winners typically receive prizes of $250 or $400, they are currently running a contest with two grand prizes of $1000. The deadline for this promotion is August 13th, 2009.

If you're like me, then your first thought is to try to compare Canvas to Red Is White (since the quiet demise of Can U Believe It leaves these two as, to the best of my knowledge, the only Christian-themed t-shirt contest sites). Canvas is a project of C28, a Christian retail store chain, and isn't afraid to get political (one tee features Reagan and a pro-choice quote, while another uses an image of a monkey and the text "I'm not your Daddy"). Red Is White, on the other hand, exists as a web-only entity (complete with one of the most stylish site designs I've seen). Their tees don't veer into the controversial, but do sometimes focus on morals that aren't necessarily directly related to faith (such as recent print What I Need).

One thing's for sure, though- no matter which site is a better fit for your designs, it has never been a better time to design Christian-themed shirts!
