I really like the postcards I cn send them to people interested in our product as a followup or in lew of cold calling
I’d like to win a canvas print. I would use it as decoration in my room. It’s great that you can win such prizes just by commenting on your blog.
the 18″ x 24″ canvas print.
I would love to have a print of one our pics from a recent tour of europe, maybe the picture from paris or venice or the awesome shot at the vatican. I can dream. :)
vector out the canvas print and make it a very nice, contemporary tapestry for my fiancee and mine upcoming move. And of course, use the post cards to thank people for their Christmas giving in this interesting financial time. Peace all, love the posts.

I’d love the postcards, so I could advertise my graphic design services! I’m new to the industry, it would be a great way to get started.
I’d love to get the postcards, so I can use them to show potential clients the services I have to offer. Also to impress them with the awesome design i have on it (hopefully)!
I’d choose the POSTCARDS to use for advertising the bands I work with.
I’ll take that please.
POSTCARDS for the win. Easy cheap adverts.
Cool. I was looking at postcards on uprinting just a few minutes ago. It’d be great to get some for free! Hope I win. :)

Coincidentally, I just started a personal project that involves canvas prints; I thought it would be cool to do caricatures of each of my family members, print them on canvas, and stretch them like paintings. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift, but I ran out of time…

My wife and I run a photography business, and we’re just about to relaunch with a new business name, site, blog etc. I would use the postcards to market ourselves to past clients and the canvas print to showcase one of our favorite photos in our studio. Thanks!

I would choose the canvas print because my walls desperately need some love :)
I’d like the postcards. In the past I’ve made a few post card designs and I’d like to print them out!
Great competition! If I win I would very much like to decorate my new apartment with the canvas print :)
While a would love a free canvas print, I think the business cards would be a lot more useful as I would use to them to advertise my design services . . . pick me, random number generator ;-)

I’d choose the POSTCARDS to advertise my illustration and design business - sent to current clients and new prospects!
Cool contest Max. If I win, I would use the canvas to make a portrait of my 76 year old mother. I have an awesome picture that I found of her when she was 16 and I am currently in the process of vectorizing it with Adobe Illustrator. It’s her favorite picture of herself, and It would make an awesome 78th birthday present for her!
The canvas print would be nice. Emigrating to the other side of the world soon so it would be nice to leave my parents a picture of their grandson.

Postcards ftw
Great way to distribute a message. Win or not, I’ll be printing up large quantities of cards with an edgy design to encourage people to visit change.gov with their story and contribution to join the discussion of change in America.
canvas would be great, I have lots of wall space and love great design
The canvas would indeed be nice. I just moved and would love some adornment on my walls. There are some pictures of friends/family that I turned into a collage that I would absolutely love to turn into a canvas print.
I would like to enter for the postcards. I’d be printing them up with a tasty design then leave them around trendy spots as trendy advertising. :)
The Canvas Print would be aweme!
I’ve never had anything printed on a canvas!
I’d like the 18×24” canvas print to add a photo of Valentino’s Rossi rides.

Thank, bye bye!

Thanks for the contest! I would love 250 postcards!
I would use the postcards to get the word out about my web design business
I would like the Canvas Print.
Would print any of my ideas or even the Batman: Dark Knight Poster with Joker on it.
Postcards because I believe it would help get my freelance career started with direct mailing. Being a college student in this economy is tough, so direct mailers have been towards the bottom of my list of things to do. I believe this would help get my name out and possibly give my freelancing the boost it needs to start bringing the work/money in.
great contest! especially for people tp get the word out about their work. Id like the postcards
I’d LOVE the canvas print! I’m just starting my own biz and that would be a great “example” to be able to show clients:)
I would like the canvas print as a gift for my wife. We recently had professional family portraits taken but were unable to print many of them due to cost. I’d like to take one of them and do some design work over it for my lady.
Canvas print will do just fine!
I’m in the middle of an Adirondack poster that would be nice nice on canvas.
I’d love a canvas print for a family portrait. The last family portrait we have is pre-Iraq deployment, four years ago - the kids change a lot in that amount of time! (As do parents!) Thanks for the opportunity!!
I’d love a canvas print. I’m donating work for a Safe Harbor (http://www.safeharbor.ws/about.html) fundraiser event in February. I’ve created some digital art and we’d like to auction off a print at the benefit. They are an awesome non-profit organization that help a lot of people each year and I’d love to help them make as much money as possible so they can keep things going for another year. Thanks a lot for the consideration!
I would like to have the canvas to decorate my room. It would definitely be more special than the normal pictures I already have on the wall.
Pick me! I could really fill a wall in my new apartment with that canvas!
I really like the postcards, I send them friends and coleagues it will help them to improve themselves and it helps to our product as a followup or in lew of cold calling.
Great competion concept. Count me in!
Andrew Kelsall´s latest blog post..How to get a Design Job using Tinned Meat!
I am interested in the large canvas print. :)
I just went full-time freelance so money is a little tight right now until I get a steady stream of clients. My fiance and I are getting married in the fall, but do not have the money to splurge on an extravagant wedding. It would be a wonderful wedding present to be able to put one of our engagement photos on a nice canvas. I’m a web designer with a love for photography, so it would be the perfect piece to being our life together.
Thanks!

I would love the postcards as in web design and puzzle making I have met so many great people to whom I would love to send a holiday or thank you postcard.
David Millar´s latest blog post..Business Meeting
The postcards, as they would be a great addition to helping our start-up company achieve some local ad recognition.
I prefer Postcards, I would use them to promote my new business, sending to all my contacts
Great competition - thanks :-)
I would choose the postcards, so that I can enter lots of mail-in competitions with them and hopefully win big by first winning your competition and then winning the competition I enter with the postcards.
David
OMG this is great that you can write on this blog and enter like this it makes it so easy! If i won I would hang the canvas above my bed, I am a huge fan of the Dark knight this is Great. And If I won the postcards I would devided them between me and my sister! -Thanks for this chance!
hope to win..thank youuu
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.
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) ^^
Folks outside the US should be careful when entering this one… uprinting wanted to charge me $40 to ship 200 business cards to Germany!

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!
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.
I would like the 250 postcards to make some advertisement of my first big website.
Francois´s latest blog post..Warhol Live
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!
A canvas print would be awesome.
Thanks for having the contest!
Sweet!
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,

Anyone need a freelance marketing design/copywriter?
Shoot! Great Competition!
I could really use some postcards!
Aaron Irizarry´s latest blog post..Creative Feature - Garth Humbert
It’d be a nice way to get some promotional pieces out this Jan09
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.
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!
Wow, some postcards would be fab! Thanks!
I’d like the postcards to use for my new screenprinting studio.
Comment!
The postcards would be excellent for marketing the redesign of my freelance business.
