Design Contest: Going For the Gold

June 20, 2012

The Summer Olympic games begin on July 27th in London, so let’s have a sports-related contest!

Any sport, any occasion is fair game in our Design Contest: Going for the Gold.

You have until June 27 to submit an entry to the contest by posting a link to your design  in the comments of this post. In the spirit of fair play, in addition to your own design, you MUST also submit a second link to a design by another artist – if that artist wins, you’ll both receive a prize!

The artist who gets the most votes will win a $10 Amazon.com gift certificate OR 5 free card credits.

On June 28th, I will post all submissions and open the voting.

Good luck and may the best artist win!

BONUS VOTES:

If you have a blog or website and make a post relating to the contest – such as highlighting one of the artists (take a cue from our Design Spotlights) or something else – I will award you a massive 10 EXTRA VOTES.

After voting opens on June 28, Pinterest users can earn extra votes by pinning nominees to a board titled Going For the Gold. I will award 1 EXTRA VOTE per pin up to a total of 10 EXTRA VOTES.

Please note: Artists who submit only their own design will be disqualified. For the purposes of this contest, you are required to submit 2 designs, yours and another artist’s.

    Fantastic – looks like a fun challenge. I would love to participate with my fellow GCU artist-friends. My question:

    After creating a card, can we FastTrack them, otherwise they may not be ready for the contest – and only cards that have already been designed and meet the contest guidelines can be considered.

    Thanks to Everyone for such Great Passion !

    Sorry, Fast Track is only for customer requests. In this case, I would allow you to put the your card design elsewhere – such as Flikr – and give a link here – but the other requirement is that you also choose a card by another artist to nominate, and that one will have to come from GCU.

      Thank you for the quick reply. I’ll put some thought into this, I may have something sports worthy. Finding an artist’s card to nominate will be fun, and should be a sport of it’s own. Good Luck and Good Sportsmanship to All.
