We all wear t-shirts. We all listen to music. Why not combine the two in a kick-ass contest? Sony and Threadless have launched the Threadless + Sony "Soundtrack" Design Challenge, inviting artists and music fanatics from around the globe to illustrate their own personal soundtrack of "greatest hits."

Threadless, the community-based design company, has invited its massive community to create a t-shirt design inspired by the music they use to get through the day – from commuting on the subway to working out at the gym or tapping away on their keyboard at work.

This design challenge coincides with the launch of the new Sony X Headphones, which offer style and sound quality. The chosen winner will get the ultimate exposure – their work and name featured on a billboard in Times Square – plus $5,000 cash, $1,000 in Threadless and Sony gift cards, headphones and tickets to a SonyArtist concert.
