ThinkDraw

The Christmas Holidays greeting card competition will run from September 25 until October 10 2012. All pictures must be created and submitted to the Think Draw showcase within this time. The competition is free to enter and open to all Think Draw members, but only pictures in the Avatars, Beads, Gothic, Lunartics and Space themes can be entered. If a picture is not considered connected to Christmas Holidays then it can be removed from the showcase and the competition.

One winning picture will be chosen at random from the top 10 pictures in the showcase, based on a combination of the number of ratings and favorites that the pictures have received at the time of the competition closing.

The winner will be sent a free pack of 10 greeting cards with the winning picture on them, so long as a valid postal address is provided. The winning picture may have to be modified slightly to fit the card format. A suitable printed greeting can be added to the picture and/or inside the card at the request of the winner. The greeting card containing this picture will also be available for sale on the Think Draw Shop. Any other participants who wish to have their pictures available on greeting cards can send a request through the feedback form and we will try to fulfill those requests.

Baldur

Awesome, get drawing people!

Will only the current showcase cards be eligible for reporduction as requested cards? Or could this be done with an earlier picture?
If so, would it have to be only in the aforementioned themes?

ThinkDraw

Normal, only current showcase cards are eligible for the competition, but we are happy to take requests for any earlier pictures on cards and other products.

Only pictures from the themes mentioned (Avatars, Beads, Gothic, Lunartics and Space) can be reproduced in high enough resolution for most of the products. However if there is a picture (or possibly combination of pictures) in other themes that you would like to see in print, we will see what we can do.

Thanks for the clarification. Can't determine resolution from my side of the screen!
Where would we go to find & order these products? (Possibly I haven't been paying attention - but maybe others would like to know too.)

mdawrcn

Normal, click on the Shop tab at the top of the page to the right. I must have built-in shopping hypersensitivity.

And I must be programmed to ignore the word! Thanks, mdawrcn!

Now that I look, I guess I have seen it before.

My picture did not go into the card competition, can someone fix this?

mdawrcn

"...but only pictures in the Avatars, Beads, Gothic, Lunartics and Space themes can be entered." From above. Sorry.

mdawrcn

and the reason why is in Comment 4.

A winner has been chosen at random from those 10. An email is on its way to that person and we look forward to unveiling the final card very soon . . .

As mentioned before anyone is welcome to send us a request and we will put their picture on a card so they can see it in large format in the Think Draw Shop.

Thanks again!
