#all #competition all contest - $300 Installment Contest

The next installment of THE DESIGNATED SKETCHER contest

series is on its way! To keep it simple, we are asking for something you’re already working on: A Shot of your Model

For initial registration, this is limited to a single shot of a model you’re currently working on and should be what you consider your “Money Shot”. We say initial here, because there are multiple ways to increase your chances of winning.

For Stage I, all you have to do is Tweet your “Model Shot” over Twitter, follow & mention @design8dsketchr, and then tell your friends about it.

If we like your Model Shot, we will Retweet it. If we really like it, we will invite you to post it to The DS and include up to 5 additional follow up

images. The top 10 entries will be seen under the “CONTEST” tab on the DS. From there, the editors of the DS will select a winner. The Overall Winner will be based partially on the number of views/likes/comments that a particular entry gets, in

addition to our own critical eye for design intent.

Other winners will include:

The Most Viral. Virality will be based on a social media rubric that includes the number of Retweets/favorites, Facebook Likes, and views/likes on The DS.

(2) Finalists. Runners Up to the Overall Winner

Most Influential Juror. A DS staple, this represents the most active & most constructive participant.

Jury Deliberation: May 12th – May 18th, 2012
