This competition is going to be music to your ears!

Springleap.com brings you the Stepdog theme competition, in association with Turbovite. It’s time to celebrate the very best in South African music , with our first ever band competition!

Stepdog , would like to challenge your design skills by asking you to create their new band t-shirt , which will be sold at gigs and right here on Springleap.com

Music is undoubtedly one of the most influential experiences of human society!
It has the ability to make us smile, laugh and cry.
Music has the ability to get you on your feet, to make you shout with happiness, or even join a social revolution.

Stepdog is a South African rock band, based in picturesque Stellenbosch.
They have been described as a “super tight three-piece bearded wonder and produce a funky blend of Creedance Revival meets Bob Dylan with really raspy vocals and toe tapping rhythms”.
If you listen to their music you will understand why this description is so appropriate.

DANCE ALL NIGHT!

The well known energy supplement specialists, Turbovite, were awesome enough to sponsor the prize money for this rocking theme competition.
Turbovite is a body and mind energy booster that can power your life, no matter how active your lifestyle.
