We made some promises. We’re delivering.

Over the past two years we have made a lot of changes on Springleap – some were rad, some mad… but we have always tried to do the best we could to make the site better.

We’re stepping up our game.

The power of Springleap is YOU. Yep. Our community.

After all… what is Springleap without you guys and gals?

There are quite a few changes that have been made already and many more to come. The site relook is in Phase1 and soon moving to Phase2 – one of the big change coming is the removal of the flash header bar… but more on that later.

We launched the concept of THEMED DESIGN COMPETITIONS just over a year ago and whilst there have been some awesome designs from those competitions, the designers have made their desire to move back to open brief-competitions resoundingly clear.

SO WE ARE TAKING THE POWER BACK… TO YOU.

The Elements competition designs were too few and unfortunately none were strong enough to cut the Springleap design panel grade (keep at it! Kingslip has been on the site for ages and won 3 competitions this year!)

Starting from today we are going back to open brief competitions – this means that you can submit anything you like. From designs that didn’t win elsewhere, to ones sitting in your folders gathering digital dust to creating jaw-dropping wonders.

• ..and to kick-start the process…*

We are taking the cash from the Elements competition and adding it to the Some Like it Hot bounty to kick-start this new era with a *R8000 (US$1000) Cash prize plus the usual R2 royalty payment on sales of reprint runs. *

This is the start of great things – we are making huge changes and they are the ones you ask for. Have your say on what else you would like at this post.

The competition details :

Regular guidelines apply: NO OBSCENITY, NO HATE SPEECH …all that JAZZ.
