Northern Sun wants to give you money!
Do you have a graphic that speaks to the people? Submit it here: Submit A Graphic.
Do you have words that are funny or send a message? Submit it here: submitideas@northernsun.com.

We pay you for your ideas.
T-Shirt designs get you $250 or a royalty for each t-shirt sold (exclusives earn more).
If it's appropriate for a button, you get $25 and $50 if it's for a bumper sticker.

You don't have to be a professional artist to contribute. If you want, we can help you add a graphic to your words or words to your graphic. We can help you turn your idea into something great - and you get the money because it's your idea..

Submit a graphic or words electronically.
If it's words, email it to: submitideas@northernsun.com.
If it's a graphic, submit it on our website: Submit A Graphic
You can also email graphics, but only as a jpeg: submitideas@northernsun.com.
You can always submit your ideas by mail:
Northern Sun Catalog Committee
2916 East Lake Street
Minneapolis, MN 55406-2050
Make sure your contact information is on the submission (in case it gets separated from its envelope). If you want your submission returned, include a SASE.

Occasionally, we get similar ideas from more than one person. If you're submitting words, we pay the person who submits the idea first. If you submit artwork with or without words, then the best design wins.

We regret that we're unable to confirm receipt of submissions over the phone. Electronic submission response time is quicker. The sooner you submit an idea, the better chance it has of appearing in the next Northern Sun catalog and on our website.
