If you fancy yourself a t-shirt designer, UNIQLO’s recently launched UT Grand Prix 2011 contest might be right up your alley.

The popular Japanese fashion retailer’s competition, now in its fifth year, is asking you would-be designers to create a t-shirt for its limited edition UT line. And not just any design will do; this year’s theme is ‘Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse’.

If the US$10,000 grand prize isn’t enticing enough, 20 winning designs will be sold in UNIQLO stores worldwide, making this competition perfect for the aspiring high street designer.

Entries have to be submitted by 19 September, and will be thereafter judged by both UNIQLO and a team from Disney.

So head to the video store and pick up some old-school Disney cartoons for ‘research’—even if you aren’t one of the winners, at least there’s that.
