Hi there all you Entrepreneur designers . As many of you know the winner of our thrilling Entrepreneur competition was to be announced on Tuesday , but the name was not released! The reason for this was that Raizcorp was suitably blown away by the amount of high quality design that came through and has since formulated an awesome idea for the winner announcement. On Tuesday Raizcorp narrowed the list of finalists down to a selection of 3 outstanding choices . So, what will happen now! All of the designs will be blown up to poster size , with the artists names attached. The final decision will be made by a panel of three judges . The names of the three top designers will only be released closer to the time. We are expecting some huge exposure for all of the Entrepreneur entrants. More details on how everything will go down will be announced very soon. If you would like to know more about the exhibition please email me directly at duncan@springleap.com Thank you all for your patience! Duncan. |

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.

good stuff Kharmazero, as long as SP is not calling for additional entries, i believe this competition to be the same one we all signed up for. The goal posts haven’t really shifted, the client will still get what he wants and we will still get a winner. Sorry, Suburban, i’m just messing with you.

@kingslip 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? @Duncan Thanks dude! You’re always very helpful please pass on my thanks to Eran as well. @the community 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 think he is just grumpy because he lost his advantage of having his 200 closest friends vote fote for him. Maybe now the rest of us have a chance. score!

Hi there Suburbanhijinx. First off thanks for your comment, we appreciate the feedback. Obviously we don’t like it when our community are upset about something. Our apologies about the issues…there will still only be one winner though. Eran has assured me that he will speak to Raizcorp today to find out exactly when we will find out the winners and details for the event.

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!
