The winner of the Queen T-shirt competition in conjunction with Talenthouse was Kay and Henning Wolters, with their 40th Anniversary interpretation of Freddie's 'Live Magic' yellow jacket, which can be viewed above.
Their design will now be produced physically and sold in the official Queen Online Store, helping raise funds for the Mercury Phoenix Trust - Fighting AIDS Worldwide.
So 'blown away' by the entries, Brian May, Roger Taylor and their management team decided that there should not only be one overall winner but 2 extra runners up and 7 other commended designs! So we have 20 winners in total, 10 picked by the band and listed below, plus another 10 who will take a share of the $3000 prize fund for being part of the 10 most voted for.
All 1030 entries can be views at www.talenthouse.com and the full list of winners list here on the Talenthouse blog.
The band would like to thank all who entered and Talenthouse users should look out for similar competitions very soon...
