The postcards would be excellent for marketing the redesign of my freelance business.
Comment!
I’d like the postcards to use for my new screenprinting studio.
Wow, some postcards would be fab! Thanks!
I’d like the postcards to use in a community project on deviantART.com. These postcards would be used by deviants (our community members) as the base for an artjam, which they must then send onto someone else to add to and manipulate and then finally return to me in order to make a massive community mosiac which I will upload to our gallery and display online forever and ever and ever!
250 postcards would be the perfect way to promote my recent design studio startup and get things off to a great head start. Perhaps it will offset the negative effects of a sluggish economy and too many headlines about the same! Thanks very much for this magnanimous offer.
It’d be a nice way to get some promotional pieces out this Jan09
Shoot! Great Competition!
I could really use some postcards!
Aaron Irizarry´s latest blog post..Creative Feature – Garth Humbert
Having freshly received a shiny new lay off from a marketing position, I know, this is a great promotion.
Either of these prizes would be fine, but my preference at the moment would be the canvas.
The reason for the choice is because my sister, many years ago, took a photo of one of the piers in Atlantic City from a great angle. The photo has traversed several computer upgrades (4) over the years and has been the single most important file to be transfered among them over the better part of a decade (even after a raid array crashed with it on it).
The reason for all this concern over a single photo file is because I have always had the intention of getting it printed on canvas, so I could gift it to my sister (in actuality I would like one too, but it being her shot, and she my sister I would enjoy the fact that she has it).
So, it would be really nice to complete the task that I set out to do so many years ago but for reasons monetary and otherwise, I never was able to.
Thank you,
../sacco
Anyone need a freelance marketing design/copywriter?
Sweet!
A canvas print would be awesome.
Thanks for having the contest!
Talk about serendipity! I’m planning on donating one of my images to a benefit auction for our community’s children’s choir. They’re making a trip from Maine to NYC this spring to take part in a music festival and the auction proceeds will help defray the cost for the families. This is the biggest trip some of these kids will have made in their lives. A big canvas print — that should turn some heads at the auction. Thanks for the contest and the site!
I would like the 250 postcards to make some advertisement of my first big website.
Francois´s latest blog post..Warhol Live
I would like the postcards; half would go to some custom photography I’ve done and the others would go to creating a wall canvas of my lyrics.
Just starting to work in Canada since moved from UK – would be great to be able to get the postcards to advertise myself here! Nice comp!
People who are in the US get FREE delivery for this competition people outside the US have to pay postage… as @Dave says it could possibly be $40+ , 3 days till closing day (7th)

Folks outside the US should be careful when entering this one… uprinting wanted to charge me $40 to ship 200 business cards to Germany!

Usually they just send free stuff inside US…

Wow awesome contest!
Anyway, my brother’s birthday is on the 27th of February and that’s the day before he finally goes for military service. I was thinking of an out-of-this-world birthday and going-away gift for him and an 18″x24″ canvas print with his favorite artist(s) or our family picture might do the trick. A perfect reminder of the things he love in the outside world (haha outside the walls of the military barracks) ^^
I would love to get a crack at the post cards if only to try out my theory that people would rather see you donate to charity than give them swag – based on my post http://www.michaelgcohen.com/2008/12/swag-is-a-dirty-4-letter-word/
Winning the post cards would let me test this out with a small company I work with.
