I’d love to see pictures and hear about how it all worked out!

thanks Qimstudio!

congrats man! When i saw this one i knew i didnt have a chance. GREAT JOB!

Thanks for the comments!

awesome dude!

cool

Thanks. I think this is one of the best designs i’ve made in the last year. Now i hope everyone else will agree!

Amazing…love it dude!

thanks DOOOM! Thank you to everyone who has voted so far…i just finished voting for everyone in the comp. I AM TOAST!! Competition is outta control!

any word on the winner? anxious to find out! I thought it said the 18th was when the winner was announced…

I see this as good and bad…

It’s awesome that Raizcorp was so STOKED on all the submissions and are going to put on this exhibition in February…but i don’t think that it is right that the rules to the contest suddenly change…

I understand it’s their prize money and when we submit the artwork we agree to the terms of springleap (which essentially says you guys can do whatever you want)…

I feel like it was known that this exhibition was going to take place because on the original rules/guidelines it states that “Raizcorp and Springleap reserve the rights to request the high-resolution artwork of any entry submitted into the “I am an Entrepreneur” competition for non-commercial benefit such as an even media covering the process” Why not be upfront and say if the designs are up to and or over and above our expectations this is how the winner will be selected.

I feel like there are hoops being added that the designers have to keep jumping through in order to win. Not only do we have such tough competition from such great designers like sebasebi, Qimstudio, kharmazero, DeeDeekid, and warholbot. (not to mention a lot of the new folks…this small list is just the designers that i am keeping in mind when putting my designs together) Be we also have to impress the springleap panel and with these big money competitions a 3rd party sponsor…and NOW a panel of three judges at the exhibition

So I am curious when will the top 3 designers be notified that they will have artwork in the exhibition…other than soon?

What kind of exposure are these artists getting. I only ask because I don’t think that just having a poster print of the art is exposure…now a profile and info on how to contact the artist and maybe a few other pieces of their work for people to see would be AMAZING or some sort of handouts with the URL to an online portfolio…etc.

Anyways this has gotten WAY to long, but I don’t want this to be perceived as me being negative or unappreciative, I just don’t like it when something is published and posted to happen a certain way and then it changes…I am very happy to be a part of the springleap community and appreciate all the great opportunities to make a significant amount of money off my artwork.

If you were able to read this entire post i high five you!

@kingslip
It has nothing to do with my 200 closest friends…I don’t even have 200 close friends. I can count my number of close friends on both hands.

But if you are insinuating that anytime I have won it was not because I had a strong submission it was only because I have “200 close friends,” I have to strongly agree.

Are you just mad that I don’t consider you tough competition? If you ever want to go head to head shoot me an email bud

@Duncan

Thanks dude! You’re always very helpful please pass on my thanks to Eran as well.

@the community
If everyone else is fine with contest rules changing in the middle of a contest then ignore me. That is my grief…I’m also not scared to speak up and let my displeasure be known, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WINNING OR LOSING If I don’t win a competition I don’t win…that’s the way it goes. (to be honest I don’t think my design will win or is even in the top 3…there’s 4 other designs in this comp that I feel blow mine away!!)

I’m just saying that other contest sites don’t just up and change the rules in the middle of a comp. Be upfront and say this is how the contest is going to go down.

If i come off as bitter or grumpy then I apologize, because I’m not…I’m actually kind of shocked that none of the other artists feel this way…unless they are scared to speak up for fear of their design not winning.

Again this is not to be taken as a disrespectful post towards springleap. I’m just voicing my opinion.

I just realized I put “strongly AGREE” in my rant…

No hard feelings kingslip…I’m just gonna have my army of 200 email you spam links to tranny porn and we can call it even.

I’m not saying that the exhibition is bad. I’m only saying what kind of exposure do the artists actually get. Who goes to this exhibition? People that might want to hire one of us to design for their brand/company?

I wonder what kind of coverage will springleap provide. I personally would love to see some sort of video and/or pics of the event…to show what exactly is going on and happening.

Kharamzero does raise a good question, would springleap let a submission get printed if it was printed before as a poster for a non profit? (or something similar as to the circumstances we are in)

As far as the competition changing i still feel the same way, the goal posts may be in the same place, but now there are more obstacles to get around/over to reach that goal. And the analogy of adapting to the customer, once a contract is signed usually there isn’t a lot of deviation from it. The adaption is usually made to the design to suit the customer.

Congrats! Mekazoo was one of my top picks! Good luck

thank you to everyone for the last minute votes and comments! I can stop stalking you on facebook now!
