Brooklyn-based Out of Print Clothing specializes in creating t-shirts, stationery, and accessories from iconic and out of print book cover artwork. Out of Print has teamed up with Wilco and design website Veer.com to create a limited edition t-shirt based on Miguel de Cervantes' The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha.

Don Quixote also happens to be one of Jeff Tweedy's favorite books. The front of the shirt is all set, looking at the image above. But you can have the chance to design the back of the shirt. The winning design will incorporate the line "...I can no more remember one syllable of it than the shapes of last year's clouds." (This is one of Tweedy's favorites from Don Quixote and will be situated about an inch from the collar line.)

The guidelines for entering the contest are available here, and submissions will be accepted through 11 p.m. EST May 13. Three finalists will be selected by Out of Print and Wilco, with the winner announced 2 p.m. EST May 16.
