Design Contest: All or Nothing
Now that summer’s on its way out, vacation time is over, and the kids are going back to school, I thought it was time for a new Design Contest: All or Nothing.
What’s it about? Nominate ANY one of your cards – any card for any occasion – to enter the contest. Do that by leaving a link to the card on GCU in the comments of this post. Deadline is August 20. On August 21, I will post all the nominees and the voting will begin.
Sounds simple, huh? Well, there are ways you can get bonus votes that may give you an edge in the contest.
15+ BONUS VOTES UP FOR GRABS!
1) In addition to your own card, nominate a second card belonging to another artist by giving us a link to that card in the comments section of this post. You’ll be awarded +5 votes. If either your or the nominated artist’s card receives the most votes, you’ll both win a prize.
2) Make a post about the contest, about your nominated card, or about another artist’s card on your blog. This will earn you +5 votes. Leave a link in the comments section of this post to claim your bonus votes.
3) Make a PINTEREST board with at least 5 of the nominees. Leave a link to your board in the comments section of this post to earn +5 votes.
4) Watch out for a post on the GCU Artists’ Group which will be made once voting opens. Additional votes will be awarded – details to come.
Have fun!
