What is the project?
laFraise has teamed up with our new friends from Chicago – crowdSPRING! And we’re throwing down the gauntlet to see who can give us the best design around the them of: “Creativity is _______”. So what does creativity mean to you?
You can show us with typography, illustration, design – just show us (and show us real good)! Your design can be abstract or you can choose something concrete that represents creativity for you. We just want to see what creativity means to you, so have at it. Does creativity mean color and complexity or does creativity mean taming the chaos? Does creativity mean extravagant and ornate or does creativity mean simple and classic. Show us your answer and you’ll be rewarded handsomely!
Who is crowdSPRING?
Simply put, crowdSPRING is a creative marketplace. They bring together buyers and designers from around the world to work on all sorts of creative projects – from logos and illustrations to websites and marketing materials.
How does it work? Well, it’s a kinda like laFraise, really – buyers post projects for things they need designed along with how much they’ll pay. Once posted, creatives from around the world can choose from among the projects (there’s over 50 live on the site right now) and decide which ones they’d like to work on. At that point, you submit your ideas for that project and, if your design is chosen, you take home the award. All the buyers pay up front so there’s no worries about deadbeat buyers or abandoned projects, and every single project is protected by a customized legal agreement so there’s never any worry about intellectual property theft. It’s that simple.
What’s in it for me?
Not only will the top 3 entries receive a laFraise prize of 1500 Euros each, but we’re also putting up three iPod Nanos that will be awarded to the top 3 entries. Keep in mind though that the project is only going to run from August 18th to September 1st, so quit reading and get going!!!

if I understood: the purpose of this competition is to explain to us what creativity! our response to this matter can be presented in several forms: text, photo, illustration, design …

The theme is creativity, but you can express your creativity through your design, no text required if you don’t want.

What is the difference between reward for “lafraise classic” contest and “crowdspring” contest?
And if you make a good design can you enter it into both contests?
