Better late than never...

Wow. This is some great work from one of our members who unfortunatly did not make the deadline to the contest "Share the love... ". We got an email from him the other day sending us a link of his .... "unfinished" submission. (Looks done to me and looks great!)
This submission was from Sean Chairokun you can see his blog link here http://chairokun.blogspot.com/2009/04/design-contest-unfinished.html.

Sean this was a great entry. We know all too well what it is like to be perfectionists about little details. Thank you for sharing this with us. We are glad you enjoyed the challenge and really think you did an amazing job with the challenge. We look forward to the next contest and can't wait to see what you will do then. Keep up the great work. We are thrilled to see our stock being used by creative people. If anyone else has one to share send it over, hopefully we can post it on the blog and get you some free PR.

Smallest contest, smallest turnout.

Okay, we knew this would be a small turnout but we certainly did expect a few more entries... not one person from Toronto even entered which was a big surprise as the FITC event is in Toronto. I even had to poke some people to enter so we'd have enough entries to put up for the Free delivery this week. In fairness to all of you, we did only give you a week to do this.

We would like to thank the people who did take the time to prepare these amazing visual treatments of last weeks Free vector files to create this weeks free files on our Stock-Archive.com promotional website. Our FITC pass winner is Philippe Wu from Ottawa, Ontario. This design was one of superb simplicity. We liked the 180 twist from our trippy collage that produced with all the elements for our marketing campaign. It was cool to see the various styles and ideas. It would have been great to see more. Next time we promise we'll give you more than a week to enter the competition.

Get this weeks free images. All the thumbs as seen are available in Vector format and FREE for download as part of www.Stock-Archive.com promo site. Enjoy and thank you.

See you at FITC!

Stock Archive Contest! > Share the love…

Probably the shortest contest in the world! Maybe the smallest contest in the world. All we need is “at least” one person to enter. More the better for sure! But, we only got one prize to pass out. We have one spare FITC pass left and thought we’d “Share the love…” and pass-the-pass to one of our members. But first you gotta “Share the love…” back to us.

The Prize = 1 pass to FITC in Toronto this April 25 -29, 2009.

[ More info about FITC > http://www.fitc.ca/event_detail.cfm?festival_id=79 ] (Note the fancy video we produced for FITC last year on the page)

Since the event is in two weeks and is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that probably just narrowed down the contestants down to members who live near the city of Toronto as you’ll need to pay for your own transportation, accommodation, food and drinks and pretty much everything except the FITC Pass from Stock Archive Inc.

So what we want is one winner…. lots of entries. The winner gets a free pass to FITC 2009 in Toronto. Any submissions that do not win the pass will receive our thanks and gratitude for entering.
