The next upcoming contest here on EU will be with VinylAbuse and submissions will be open September 15th. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for this one.

VinylAbuse was manifested by three aspiring students who stood up and met the need of a UK news network to focus on Designer Urban Vinyl.

—————————————————–

The theme will be “characters” in any sort of setting. Now we are looking for full-blown original characters. No known characters such as Snoopy or Batman, keep it original!

Now I’ll get to the stuff you guys really care about. We’ll select 3 winners, each will receive 1500 Euros plus a “goodie bag” of vinyl toys from VinyAbuse. The winning designs will each be printed in limited runs of 500 and one lucky winner will be selected for a VinylAbuse feature/interview.

You can submit as many times as you like but keep in mind that we’ll be screening the submissions for quality. You can also contact me anytime if you are looking for some feedback before submitting, but be prepared I’ll actually tell you what I think :)

So to recap:

-”Characters” is the theme (your own original characters)

-Submissions open September 15th-29th here on laFraise EU

-3 winners, all at 1500 Euros a goodie bag of vinyl toys

Have fun!!
