Introduction
Making fan art that you can legally earn money from is a dream come true for an artist (at least, if you anything like me and watch way too much TV). And Redbubble has made that possible with their Partner Program.
As of 21 October 2021, there are currently 50 different brands you can make fan art for.
And, since Redbubble and Teepublic are owned by the same people, this partnership program extends to Teepublic as well.
But it can be a challenge to remember the tags, or keywords, you need for your artwork to be considered for the program. Or to avoid accidentally putting an artwork in the program!
Extreme example: you could make an innocent aquarium artwork, tag it ‘sharktank’ and find that your art is being considered for the ‘Shark Tank’ brand partnership!
So I’ve made this list that clearly shows what tags enter you into what partner program.

I’ve also had a couple of artworks rejected for the program…
Insights
'Not Currently Accepting New Submissions' is Bad
Generally, if a brand partner puts up this notice, it means they will be removed from the program in the next review cycle. If you already have art up for that brand, expect it to not be up for much longer.
List of Active Brand Partners
Each brand heading is clickable and will take you to the Redbubble page about that specific brand’s partnership terms and conditions. Please read them carefully! Your art could process for months and then be rejected because of a tiny stupid fault, like putting (Adventure Time character) Marceline’s vampire bite on the wrong side of her neck.
The dot points under each brand name are the tags you must include in your Redbubble product listing for it to be considered for the brand’s Partnership agreement.
Brands marked with a triple star (***) are not currently accepting new submissions, but may do so in the future, it’s unclear right now.
Every brand has different people making decisions about whose art gets accepted, and will take varying amounts of time to find out if your artwork was accepted or rejected – sometimes several months.
