Springleap loves the Friends of Parent and Child team! It is not very often that you find a group of people so committed to making a positive change in the lives of South Africa’s youth. Friends of Parent and Child are a charity organization that seeks to uplift the lives of township children and to help them to fully realise their dreams. This dedicated team of individuals juggle their normal lives while also managing to help educate and inspire a group of 60 wonderful youngsters. Every year the team throws an amazing fun filled party for the kids. Springleap wanted to help out and ensure that the kids were treated to a little something extra. We really wanted them to feel as special as they truly are!
Two years ago we donated 60 of our awesome t-shirts to the kids and they were totally overjoyed. The event itself was held at the Village Mall in Hartbeespoort. The kids looked like they had an amazing time! It’s always so uplifting to see those smiling faces enjoying themselves. If you would like to find out more about Friends of Parent and Child please take a look at my original posting or alternatively check out their Facebook page. We salute these fine men and women as they strive to make a real difference in the lives of impoverished children, forging ahead to a brighter future. ………………………… Please contact the team at Friends of Parent and Child to make a donation:

Marmite - more designs selected shoutOut on 30/1/12 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp |

The Marmite ‘Spread the Love’ contest was one of our most successful contests to date. We had designers from all over the world creating some seriously mind-blowing work…no doubt fuelled by their own passion for Marmite. Not only did we receive a massive amount of entries, but the vast majority were of a high design standard too. We were really happy to see submissions of this calibre. The great news that we received, after choosing our three winners, was the fact that Marmite loved the designs so much that they decided they wanted to procure even more! We are happy to announce that Marmite has decided to acquire Vcalahan’s Lovers submission, as well as GreboRocboy’s Marmite Love. Both of these stunning designs have adhered closely to the brief and were executed with marvellous style. Really impressive work, well done! You may have already noticed, but Vcalahan is also our Grand Prize winner for this contest. He has done very well for himself in ‘Spread the Love’ - his designs fit the brands vibe to perfection.
Springleap loves it when our designers get more than they bargained for! Thank you Marmite! |

ROARRRRR KERSMASH ZAPPPPP!!!! Congratulations go out to our January 2 ‘Open Theme’ winner, Carbine. His Role Playing submission made its mark early on. Right from the start it received a mountain of praise and ‘5 votes’ from the community. We knew it was going to be a serious contender for the win! The design itself is extremely nostalgic! Carbine uses his amazing design skills to instantly transport us back to our youth! Do you remember the days when our imaginations were free to create without the restraint of societies oppressive ‘grown up boringness’? Well, this design throws off those shackles and leaves us free to dream as big and as expressively as we possibly can. Role Playing has it all – It is ridiculously intricate, makes efficient use of color, has perfect placement and most importantly is based on a rock solid concept that can be understood across all cultures. This may be Carbine’s first win on Springleap, but there are honestly very few designers that come close to a win with every single submission that they send through. When a design comes through from this man you know it will feature at the top of the list every single time. Just take a look at Carbine’s design section and you will see exactly what I mean! We cannot wait for Role Playing to hit the printing floor, it is going to look so hot…just you wait. Well done Carbine, the team is literally on the edge of their seats in anticipation of your next submission. Enjoy! |

DESIGN CONTEST: 'Spread the Marmite Love' - WIN US$1950 shoutOut on 17/11/11 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp |

It’s time to Spread the Marmite Love! Marmite is one of those South African Favourites that has been pleasing tastebuds for over 100 years. There are practically millions of Marmite lovers out there who couldn’t go a single day without this delectable dark bread spread of savoury goodness. How much do you love YOUR Marmite? What would you do for your daily measure of exceptional taste? Would you beg, trade in your car, or perhaps…even your significant other? Springleap and Marmite would like to know just how unconditional your love is for this yummy stuff… and even better, we’d like you to illustrate your love through great designs! Things have not really changed for Marmite since it first waltzed into our hearts and wooed our taste buds back in 1902. Marmite originally came in a small earthenware pot, similar to the French casserole dish called a 'Marmite', (pronounced MAR-MEET). Today you can still see the original “MAR-MEET” dish on the front panel of the label. The iconic shape of the pot, as well as the branding has remained pretty much untouched since. An icon from all those years ago. Amazing!
Marmite to this day is also made the same way as all those years ago – only using the finest brewers yeast (beer, really) and a “secret process”. Its unique taste gives an unmistakably rich tangy flavour that makes you drool for more and has the ability to convert even the most snobbish of tastes into true Marmite lovers! British travellers were known to take Marmite along to eat on their travels to exotic destinations, as they believed it warded off Malaria-causing mosquitoes. The Allied Troops were issued rations of Marmite during World War 1 to keep them soldiering on. If they hadn’t, who knows who could have won the war. We shudder at the thought and reach for our Marmite instantly!
Your mission: Use your powerful design skills to create a Marmite inspired design that works perfectly for Valentine’s Day. We want to see which designers can best illustrate their intense passion and undying love for Marmite in the most effective, most inspiring and heartwarming way. Please keep it fun and quirky. No emo stuff allowed.
Show us - Just how big a Marmite fan are you REALLY?
THE BRIEF: The winning designs to be sourced from this contest will be printed & sold on promotional products for Valentines Day 2012.
You need to show your passion for Marmite! Not just to eat, but in any fun way you can imagine. The iconic nature of the brand has inspired designs from across the world! Go do some research online & see just how crazy people have been! For example: I love my wife Marmite, Stay with the one you love, I only dance with my Marmite, My-mate, Find your right mate, Don’t like sweet tea? Have Marmite in it instead? Absolutely anything that shows just how much you love Marmite. Please keep your themes light and humorous. We don’t want anything dark, sad, emo or lonely! Your designs must make people smile, give them tummy aches from laughing too much, or feel like they're floating in 7th Heaven, so make it quirky, fun and absolutely lovable. Focus on how you feel with Marmite in your life, not without it! The key here is to NOT to be (too) serious.
CONTEST DO’s & DONT's: 1. Designs must include at least 1 of the Marmite brand elements – logo, colours, fonts, brand theme. The design must clearly identify with Marmite and be recognisable as such. 2. Designers can use ANY colour from the Springleap.com t-shirt submission kit 3. The Marmite corporate colours are yellow, red, white, green and black. However, designers are welcome to experiment and come up with their own interpretations, as long as the design includes some or other element of the Marmite brand to make it clearly identifyable.
