Some more info from that thread:
We need your design to be in our mailbox before January 20, and after that we'll put it online so people can vote for their favourite. It needs to be square, and the size needs to be 800 x 800 pixels or larger for good printing results.
Please make sure that any image you submit is something you have created yourself. Stock images and AI generated images cannot be entered into the contest. And please don't refer to a specific year, because if you win, your labels will be in the Store every year, for several years.
