Generally speaking, there will be no distribution.  The PIXAR shirt (the 3-D
knicknack shirt) is available (possibly in a slightly different form) from
Direct Cinema/Real Video -- see the weekly posting for details.  However,
as far as I know, all of the other shirts were fun projects intended for
internal consumption only.  I'd be *very* surprised if any of the winners
had any intention of providing the shirts to the general public.

This is not say that they're impossible to get, however.  If you produce a
really snazzy graphics t-shirt and know somebody who has a shirt you want,
you may be able to negotiate a trade (this is how somebody I know got a PDI
t-shirt).  Otherwise, you may as well forget it.
