2013 WORLDWIDE VEGAN BAKE SALE SHIRTS FOR SALE!
The new 2013 shirts are ready for sale at the Zazzle store!

Some background on the shirts... We endeavor to sell only sweatshop-free shirts. Unfortunately, those are the highest-priced shirts. All the shirts have the same base price, but light-colored shirts cost a little more than white, and dark-colored shirts cost more than light-colored shirts (Zazzle makes those rules).

However, Zazzle has sales almost every week, so take advantage of that when you buy. Click on the sales announcement that appears at the top of the page when you go to the store.

Feel free to try various shirt colors for a design; you may be pleasantly surprised at how different background colors bring out different parts of the design.

In addition to the awesome 2013 shirts by Reagan Kimball and Vik Jardine (see below for more info on the winning designers), you can also buy the awesome 2012 shirts from Jessi Van Pelt, Bonnie Goodman, and Amber Ford. Send us a photo of you wearing one of the shirts (preferably at a vegan bake sale!) and we may feature it in our 2013 highlight pages—with your approval, of course!

Note: Zazzle is not limited to the United States! To use Zazzle from countries around the world, click on your country of choice here, then add "/veganbakesale" to the url in your browser window or serarch on "veganbakesale." in the Zazzle search form. Then almost everything you see will be in your chosen language and currency.

Winners of the
2013 WORLDWIDE VEGAN BAKE SALE
TEE SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
...And the Winning Designs!
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for our tee shirt design contest!


 
The voting committee (which did not know the identity of any of the designers) deliberated and the voting was close, like last year, but two winners emerged. And here they are:

Reagan Kimball (top design) of Maryland owns RK Design and Printing (website under construction). She has created designs for a number of vegan outreach events.

Vik Jardine is originally from France, currently living in Germany. Her portfolio is here and, specifically, a showreel of her video work is here.

Major shout-outs to Reagan and Vik!

We hope to have these new designs on shirts in our Zazzle store, ready for sale, by tomorrow. We'll give all the details here and on our Facebook and twitter pages.

Thanks once again to everyone who sent in a design. We will do this next year!
(FYI—and bad timing—currently Zazzle is having some problems, so the Zazzle link on the left is displaying incorrectly; but the part of the link that says “view more products by veganbakesale” still works! The problem is supposed to be fixed soon.)

Announcing the Second Annual
WORLDWIDE VEGAN BAKE SALE TEE SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
Winning 2012 designs from Bonnie Goodman and Amber Ford
Here's a chance to put your artistic creativity to good use, and possibly become rich and famous. Famous, anyway.

This year's contest will be almost exactly the same as last year's popular contest. Here's how it works:
  • Send your design to info@veganbakesale.org by February 28, 2013 March 3, 2013.
  • One week later, we'll announce two winners!
  • We'll create tee shirts (and maybe other products down the road, such as aprons) emblazoned with the winning design, and sell them on the WVBS Zazzle store. We'll proudly and enthusiastically mention the designers and link to their websites or portfolios in the product descriptions. Of course, the winners get free tee shirts.
  • Profits from the sales will go to Compassion for Animals (CfA). Even though the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale is now a program of A Well-Fed World (AWFW), AWFW is generously donating the profits to CfA, which started the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale.
More Info:
    2012 winning design by Jessi Van Pelt
  • This design is for the front of the shirt. (The shirts won't have any design on the back.)
  • We only sell sweatshop-free shirts. Most of the shirts in this category are available in multiple colors, but the organic shirts are only available in "natural" (off-white)—so the design should look good against this background. If you click around on any of the shirts in our Zazzle store, you can see all the available background colors.
  • The size of the image should be either 14 inches by 12 inches OR 12 inches by 14 inches, as described here: http://www.zazzle.com/mk/custom/imageguidelines. There is no limit on the number of colors in the design. The design must include "Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale" (but no year; when we asked some WVBS participants, they overwhelmingly preferred no year on the shirts). Optionally, you can also include the WVBS URL—www.VeganBakeSale.org.
  • For the contest, you can send a jpg, png, gif, or pdf file, or a link. (We'll want hi-res—300dpi—versions of the winning designs eventually.)
  • The judges will be the Compassion for Animals Board of Directors and the WVBS Board of Advisors (which helps out with the WVBS in various ways).
  • None of the judges or anyone in their families, or anyone working for or closely afilliated with Compassion for Animals or A Well-Fed World can enter the contest.
  • Last year's winners cannot enter this year's contest.
  • For everyone else: You can enter—and even submit the same designs—year after year.
For more details on the contest, including licensing agreements and final image requirements, please click here.

If you have any questions about the contest, please ask us at info@veganbakesale.org and we'll get back to you quickly!

Let the excitement begin!

Certificate of Awesomeness and Appreciation
A long-overdue shout-out and thank-you to the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale Board of Advisors. These five people have helped the WVBS in a myriad of ways.

Though the board is informal, their advice and ideas have been a big factor in the success of the WVBS for the past year-plus. In addition, they each have been involved with WVBS as participants, and do lots of amazing things (vegan outreach and more) in other capacities.

December 22, 2012
Germany     Certificate of Awesomeness and Appreciation

We are now part of A Well-Fed World!

The Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS) has grown over the years,and has become too big for Compassion for Animals, the group that started the event. We are happy to announce that the WVBS will now be a project of A Well-Fed World (AWFW), a vegan organization advocating for ALL people to have enough food and the right kinds of food...foods that maximize well-being and minimize harm to people, animals and the planet.

The WVBS will be just about the same as always, with the same people running it, and Compassion for Animals will continue to be a participant.

We'll have some more news about this exciting partnership down the road.
October 21, 2012
We added a menu option (under “Past Highlights”) that points to the amazing posters from 2012 bake sales.

Note: The poster page this year is a Facebook album that was gradually built up as participants created them. To save time, since the posters were already in one place, with lots of comments, we just have the menu item pointing there. We realize not everyone has Faacebook access, and we hope to create a separate 2012 posters page on the website as in prior years.

2012 Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale Wrap-Up

This year, there were 159 groups or individuals who organized bake sales, and 166 bake sales—214 if you count each day of a multi-day bake sale as a separate bake sale.

We had some new countries: Croatia, Germany, India, and Mexico. Welcome! There were also lots of new cities, including Hobart (Australia), Salzburg (Austria), Glasgow (Scotland), Sudbury (Canada), and Memphis (US).

Participants raised over 50,000 dollars for a wide variety of fabulous causes—and of course raised awareness about the diversity and deliciousness of vegan baked goods. Thanks for being awesome!

Next year, 2013, is the fifth anniversary of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. Stay tuned for more news about that, and for some other announcements...

This is preliminary but bake sales in the 2012 Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS) probably raised over 50,000 dollars for various causes.

(As always, participating groups can do whatever they want to with their bake sale proceeds, though in practice, most give the money to charities, or the group holding the bake sale is itself a charity and uses the bake sale as a fundraiser.)

The local press stories of participating vegan bake sales have been outstanding. This is a result of great promotion and community outreach by participating groups!

And it's not over yet! There are a few groups extending the love by holding late bake sales this weekend and next weekend. Please check them out if they are in your area!

2012 Highlight pages coming soon...
April 22, 2012
There are over 50 vegan bake sales happening around the world this weekend as part of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale. We'll have plenty of highlights here soon, but in the meantime you can just search for "vegan bake sale" and "vegan bakesale" online (or in twitter specifically) to catch the buzz!

Next weekend there will be 60 vegan bake sales (at last count—we're still gettting signups), and during the week there are lots scheduled also. The full schedule is here. Visit the one nearest you, and support a good cause as well as your local, talented, hard working bakers!

  • There's just over One Week left until the official start of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS)! But there are some awesome early vegan bake sales this weekend:

    Friday April 13 — Oakland, CA

    Saturday April 14 — Oakland, CA
    Saturday April 14 — Deland, FL

April 8, 2012
  • Only Two Weeks left until the official start of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS)! But there are some fantastic early and late vegan bake sales. The full schedule is here.
  • It's never too late to sign up for the WVBS! If holding an event during the oficial week-plus (April 21-29) is impractical, that's ok; we're lenient on the dates. Our vegan bake sale tips page may make things easier (and more successful), and the signup form is here.
  • Reminder: For more frequent updates of the WVBS, you can follow our Facebook and/or twitter pages.
April 4, 2012
  • New countries in the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale this year (so far) are: Croatia, Germany, India, and Mexico. Welcome! What about your country?
  • Why not team up to hold a vegan bake sale? Maybe your group is a little short on volunteers, but you know another group in the same situation, and the two groups together have enough of everything. The groups don't even have to be the same type—a vegan advocacy group could join with an environmental group; a church group and an animal rescue could team up. The two groups split the efforts and the proceeds. Team-ups can build community, attract more bakers and customers, and be a lot of fun. Compassion for Animals and some other groups have done this with great success; email us if you have questions.
  • Less than three weeks before the official start of the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale! Here's a great article if you waited until the last minute but want to join: How To Put Together a Bak Sale FAST.

    Berlin, date not set yet
  • In addition to the bake sale posters page that we put up each year after most of the bake sales are done. this year we also have a Facebook photo album of the posters, which is updated almost daily. Check out the diversity of creativity!

Winners of the
WORLDWIDE VEGAN BAKE SALE TEE SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
...And the Winning Designs!

 
    
Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for our tee shirt design contest!

The voting committee (which did not know the identity of any of the designers) deliberated and came up with not two winners (as originally planned), but three! The voting was very close among all winning designs. And here they are:

Jessi Van Pelt has helped organize two WVBS bake sales with Vegetarians of Central Florida, in 2009 and 2011. She is co-publisher of Peace to All Creatures, a quarterly zine about veganism, arts and crafts, animals, civil rights, the environment, health, recipes and more. Article submissions welcome! All profits go to animal-related charities. Jessi's Etsy store, The Ginger Card Company, sells vegan-themed jewelry and the aforementioned zine.

   
Bonnie Goodman participated in the WVBS last year and has an event planned for this year. She is a glass bead maker and jewelry designer whose work features vegan themes and nature scenes. Bonnie and her husband Parke run the Mordam Art Gallery and are the founders of Live and Let Livingston, which provides vegan meals to veterinarians and volunteers during free spay/neuter clinics, teaches cooking classes, and hosts popular vegan potlucks.

Amber Ford is a member of Vegans and Vegetarians of Alberta, which has participated in the WVBS from 2009 through 2011. She sells some of her designs on her Zazzle store.

Although the contest was open to anybody, most of the entrants (including the three winners) have participated in the WVBS one or more years or are affiliated with groups that have participated.

We hope to have the designs ready for sale soon, on shirts, and maybe aprons. We'll give all the details here and on our Facebook and twitter pages.

Thanks once again to everyone who sent in a design. We may do this every year!

WORLDWIDE VEGAN BAKE SALE TEE SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
In 2010, The Herbivore Clothing Company created and sold an awesome Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale (WVBS) tee shirt. Thank you, Herbivore! But that was a limited run, and the shirts are now collectors' items.

Since the Herbivore shirts were so popular, and tee shirts are cool ... we're holding a WVBS tee shirt design contest! Your design can be the next WVBS shirt, worn by people all over the planet!

Here's how it works:
  • Send your design to info@veganbakesale.org by February 19, 2012.
  • One week later, we'll announce two winners!
  • We'll create tee shirts (and maybe other products down the road, such as aprons) emblazoned with the winning design, and sell them on the new WVBS Zazzle store (in progress). We'll proudly and enthusiastically mention the designer and link to their websites or portfolios in the product descriptions. Of course, the winners get free tee shirts.
  • Profits from the sales will go to Compassion for Animals, to help with the cost of running and promoting the Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale.
More Info:

  • This design is for the front of the shirt. (The shirts won't have any design on the back.)
  • Our plan is only to sell sweatshop-free shirts. Most of the shirts in this category are available in multiple colors, but the organic shirts are only available in "natural" (off-white)—so the design should look good against this background. If you click around on this link, you can get an idea of the various background colors.
  • The size of the image should be either 14 inches by 12 inches OR 12 inches by 14 inches, as described here: http://www.zazzle.com/mk/custom/imageguidelines. There is no limit on the number of colors in the design. The design must include "Worldwide Vegan Bake Sale" (but no year; when we asked some WVBS participants, they overwhelmingly preferred no year on the shirts). Optionally, you can also include the WVBS URL—www.VeganBakeSale.org.
  • For the contest, you can send a jpg, png, gif, or pdf file, or a link. (We'll want hi-res—300dpi—versions of the winning designs eventually.)
  • The judges will be the Compassion for Animals Board of Directors and the WVBS Board of Advisors (which helps out with the WVBS in various ways).
  • None of the judges or anyone in their families can enter the contest.
