One last point
Yours truly; Chris Spooner from Blog.SpoonGraphics is one of the ten competition judges. Cash bribes and persuasive gestures to the usual address! Only joking! The competition entries will be judged on overall creativity and concept, creative adaptation of source images and visual impact, so get your creative socks on and start designing!
I like the intence part. People tend to perform better with a little preasure and intensity. Is it ok for non-US residents to participate?
Hey Jonan
It certainly is Ok for non-US residents to participate, the competition is open for international entries.
