For Kin: Designer Terms.
The Kin Collective is about originality, nostalgia and culture. To keep it that way, we need to set a few ground rules.
1. Original Work Only
-
You must only submit designs that are 100% your own work.
-
No copied logos (Adidas, Nike, etc).
-
No band logos, lyrics, or anything under copyright.
-
No AI-generated images.
-
No photographs or artwork you don’t own.
If it’s not yours, it’s not for us.
2. Payment
-
If your design is selected, you’ll be paid £50 (GBP) as a one-off fee.
-
We may also give you store credit so you can order an item with your design.
-
Payments are made by PayPal or bank transfer within 30 days of us confirming your design has been chosen.
3. Rights
-
You keep the copyright to your artwork.
-
By accepting payment, you give Millsy & Kin a permanent licence to adapt, print, market, and sell your design on our products.
-
You can still use your design elsewhere — but you must not license or sell the exact same design to another clothing or merch retailer.
4. Credit
-
Your name (or chosen handle) will be credited on our website and socials wherever your design appears.
5. Selection
-
Not all submissions will be chosen.
-
If your design is selected, we’ll contact you directly with next steps.
-
Once approved and paid, your design may be used on any Millsy & Kin product (e.g. t-shirts, mugs, framed prints) and across our platforms, with no time limit.
6. Files
-
Submit your work as a high-res file — ideally PNG with a transparent background.
-
We won’t accept low-quality, watermarked, or AI-generated files.
By submitting your design, you agree to these terms.
