So you’ve registered, but you’re having trouble with something – ANYTHING?

This is the place to ask…

Do you want to know how to upload a design into the competition?

Or where to start a new blog post?

Or if anything isn’t working the way you think it should?

Hi Frunch If you’ve already voted on a design then normally it won’t appear again. You should be given an indication of what you’ve already voted on. shoutBack 4 weeks, 1 day ago by

Do only designs i haven’t voted on get shown? Because that makes sense and my previous question doesn’t really count. shoutBack 4 weeks, 1 day ago by

Hey Springleapers

So here’s the news…

The Springleap HQ has spent hours looking over the t-shirt designs that were sent in for the Springleap Us t-shirt themed competition. Well done to all who entered, we just love getting all your designs.

The thing is, none of the t-shirt designs were quite along the lines of what it is we’re looking for as a new Springleap logo. Maybe it was our fault for not giving you wonderful peeps a better brief.

As much as we appreciate the t-shirt designs you Springleapers have submitted we feel like we should give you another go at it! So now you have a chance to win AGAIN! We know you have it in you to be the designer of the future Springleap logo. Fame is calling you!

So as you take flight and begin designing something fantastic for us to swoon over, take note of these guidelines:

-First things first… We need the actual word ‘Springleap’ to be clearly visible and easily recognisable
-Keep it clean, and make sure that you design a logo that not only embodies the Springleap brand, but can also be used in a variety of different ways as any logo should.
-Avoid using anything violent or death related (This is Springleap people, C’mon! We’re all happy and stuff!)
-Avoid clever one-liners – we know you’re witty and amazing, but keep that incredibleness inside you for another competition- or your date on Friday night

So what does the Springleap brand mean for you? Think- funky, fresh, on trend, unique, creative and and and…..

So get busy people, we’re waiting for you to honour us with your brilliance

One winner will receive… 4 printed t-shirts, and a cash prize – R4000 (US$ 500)

NEW DATES:

Submissions end: 16 December 2010
Voting starts: 25 March 2010
Winner announced: 30 December 2010

You could be the next winner on Springleap.com and gain exposure for yourself! You also stand a chance of winning amazing prizes and loads of cash.

well, they basically said all the old ones are no good, “none of the t-shirt designs were quite along the lines of what it is we’re looking for as a new Springleap logo” -amy so why litter the competition and waste the voter’s time. ever heard of “every vote counts” ? well, that’s never been more wrong than right here in the Springleap Us competition shoutBack 2 days, 7 hours ago by

So can I re-work the design I originally submitted and re-enter it? shoutBack 2 days, 7 hours ago by

why don’t you guys remove all the old submissions so that the voting can start a new, with all the submission from here on in shoutBack 2 days, 10 hours ago by

Sergio37 – your design EPIC is EPIC – freaking awesome design – it was VERY close. shoutBack on 8/4/10 by

my 2 cents: frist, i beg your pardon all my erngrish really sucks. i jus wanna say that themed competitons are awesomes. i mean, mebbe because i’m too lazy or mebbe because my creativity need a wake up call this work for me and, when i see the desing that others members post works for they too. i mean the last winner it’s pure genius! a pair of snickers! think about the amount of creative juice awaked by a theme! a guy! (a talented one) take the “face of africa” and do that!-by the way congratz tu (you’re my idol since 2010 futbol theme) about the spirng us theme i think that mebbe you need to take a salomonic choise. why don’t print the winner till now! maybe with a little cash reward since it’s not what are you lookng for and mebbe in limited print but i think that the desingners that take hours of his personal time to contribute to the comunity must be rewarded in some way. then you can start a brand NEW competition to desing the logo if you want. or choose a representative desingner and work whit him, or mebbe a not finished art. why not, think about it a streched competition would be great :D. just my 2 cents, and i hope that you can understand my poor poor poor english :$ cheers shoutBack on 7/4/10 by
