The winners of the Foldees "Zodiac Zoo" Greeting Card Contest

Wow. I can't believe this is the first blog post of 2010. Serious apologies to our designers and users for neglecting you recently :( We have been rather busy bees, and as such, we've kinda slowed down our contests and our interactions with you guys to get the business going.

New Contest Rules - Give us your feedback!

We've started receiving some very good feedback through our Foldees Designer Survey, and we've come up with a few ideas on how to cater to your requests. Most of you are quite happy with the current system, except for a few things, and here are our findings from the survey.

Announcing the winners of "XMAS 2.0"

Guys and Gals - it's time to crown the final winners of 2009 (yes, Zodiac Zoo ends in 2010, mr. anal). First off, we'd like to apologise for the one-day delay, although if you've been following our progress, the delays have shortened over the course of our 18 month existence.

Hi Rot Red,

Feel free to go wild with ANY Zodiac you like :) However, the card does need to have a Zodiac theme. Submit yours early and we'll have more time to help you fine-tune your submission!

by rot red 1 Dec 09, 06:26 PM

This contest has concluded.

Please ensure you're using the latest version of our Design Template (released 10 Dec 2009).

Chinese people in love everywhere rejoice! Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day 2010 fall on the same day! So what's your sign? Virgo Goat or Taurus Rabbit? Design a card using either (or both) Zodiacs and win up to US$2500!

While our math is not quite up to par to calculate how often this happens, we're pretty darn sure it's special. Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day coincide this year, and Foldees is celebrating with Zodiac Zoo!!. Simply design a card that makes use of any element from a Zodiac calendar - be it Ptolemaic, Chinese, Babylonian, Hindu or Mayan - and you could win up to US$2500 in cash!

What we're looking for are mainly LOVE and CHINESE NEW YEAR cards to commemorate the occasion, but by all means don't let that stop you from doing anything else you might come up with (star sign birthdays as well, why not?)!

Please keep in mind that we'll be keeping an extra sharp eye on not just design, but card themes that make use of the theme. Also, in particular for this category, please BE EXTRA WARY OF USING COPYRIGHTED CHARACTERS OR LIKENESSES. If you're not sure what constitutes fair use of a copyrighted character, read this. If you're still not sure after that, then it's probably best not to use one.

Aside from that, the usual Foldees rule of strictly vector art only applies as usual. This means that no gradients, rasters or opacity filters are allowed.
