I've submitted one design to the relevant market so far, but I'm hoping to get in two or three more when I have time. Any one of my designs has to get approved by Genzy or an Admin or requested by another mod to be put up for contention and it has to be chosen for the shop in the end for this to resolve YES.
It's unclear when the second condition will be known, so this close date was chosen for convenience and might change.
If my design is announced as chosen (or all my designs aren't included in the full set of those chosen), that's sufficient to resolve even if the merch shop is delayed significantly or what merch is available is different than what was announced.
My submitted designs:

@Stralor fwiw I would keep it open for at least end of 2026. First batch launch today, but there's only 1 community design. Mostly validating the flow etc., before adding more things
it's also notable that the crane hex full-body print stuff is kinda expensive, and whether or not that makes it into the shop could come down to if people are actually going to buy mana to buy things or not (we can absorb a few shirts/hats, but $100pp would be unsustainable) - maybe we'll find a more creative way to sell unique merch drops, too.
All of that to say, i'd give it until eoy!
@Gen is it?? I never clicked order on it but the preview seemed to say it was much less than that to print (ofc you'd have to sell above cost).
Anyway, for some reason I thought both this and the underlying market specified that only designs in the first release would qualify but I dont see that in either description so I guess I can hold off
@Gen btw just let me know when you want that trustworthy-ish design (or either of the other two you didn't ask for yet...) 😇
Forgot to include my last design! It didn't make it into the market options but it could still be picked, so I'll include it here for completeness. I had intended 1 more after this, too, but I suspect first round submissions are closed.
@Stralor Re-opened again because the main market has been extended. Might still get around to my last submission!
