The winning design will be sold at his New Year’s Eve show (details TBA) and will also be made into limited edition merchandise that can be purchased online. The winner will also receive a cash prize and a T-shirt signed by BENASSI of the winning design. Deadline to enter the contest is November 27. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/RIcLc6.
