Every year, Japanese clothing retailer Uniqlo holds a Global T-Shirt Design Competition, with the winning designs used to create a limited collection of graphic tees for the company’s UT T-shirt range.
The theme for the 2019 UT Grand Prix was Pokémon, and Uniqlo received a record 18,000 entries from people around the world, which were whittled down to 24 winners, chosen by a judging panel that consisted of Tsunekazu Ishihara, President and CEO of The Pokemon Company, Ken Sugimori, Managing Director of Game Freak inc., and Nigo, the Creative Director of Uniqlo UT.
