Special thanks to everyone who entered our T-shirt design contest! All of the entries were amazing and we want to thank all of you for putting in the countless hours and immense effort that went into the designs.

The contest is now CLOSED, stay tuned for the finalists and winner of the brand new Kamoa Soprano Ukulele (to be announced later this week!).

Much Mahalo,

Hey all you creative, Ukulele Underground-lings! Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the entire month of September, I’m sure you’ve heard about our UKULELE GIVE-AWAY CONTEST(!) and have worked at a fever pitch just to get your entries to us.

But if you still haven’t done so yet, it’s not too late!! We will be accepting entries - for people who would like to win the FREE Kamoa Pineapple Soprano that we’re giving away - until the end of the month (only 1 more day!). Once October 1st officially rolls around (according to Hawaii Standard Time), we’ll stop accepting entries and begin the grueling deliberation process to determine a winner.

Just in case you forgot, here are the Contest Details:

- Send in your original design (or saying or slogan) to be on the next Ukulele Underground T-shirt. Be as thorough and descriptive as possible, so we know your vision of how final product will look.

- Send your entries to UKULELEUNDERGROUND(at)GMAIL.COM with the words “T-Shirt Contest” in the subject line.

- Last day to enter: September 30th, 2008.

If you have more questions, check out the Forum post.
If you want to see more pictures of the Kamoa Pineapple Soprano (or if you want to just buy one, and skip the intense pressure of the contest altogether) Check out the UU Store!

A big MAHALO to all the cool people who sent in their designs (you’re making it tough on us!!). Stay tuned for the results of the contest and more of the best, free uke lessons and videos!

Aloha,
