seeing your jersey being worn around the world
How do we do that?

LOL @ geoffj.
Is this a form of advertising? That should be paid for?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Didn't class it as advertising, more as a way of giving people the heads up.
At the end of the day, nobody is forcing you to have a look or even enter!Posted 4 months ago # -
Erm, what does it include?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Looks like it could still cost you about 600 euros or so (plus the cost of your flight) if you win!
Bargain!

hunterst - Don't know where you work out 600 Euros plus flight from. You can stay half board for 35€ per night and choose your dates well and you can fly over for bugger all too. Most people bring their own bikes, so no bike hire costs. Guiding alone, for the week would cost between 225€ and 300€ depending on whether you choose XC or DH.
Not a bad prize if you ask me, or is a couple of hundred quids worth of prize not enough for you?
deadlylarcy - It does include a weeks guided riding with all transport.
All happy now? Probably not

Nice one Jamie, but since you didn't follow the entry rules I've had to disqualify your entry

Subtle/smack in the face advertising? Call me cynical.

More, get other people to do your design work rather than pay someone to do it*
*My New Year's resolution was to be more cynical.

Quality by Jamie, I love the idea of a prize that costs me money to use very thoughtful that.

Any design with
as the main logo is going to look dated.

No, I'd call cynic-al cynic al....
Posted 4 months ago # -
The design has to include the logo, but you have to email the competition email address to get details of the logo.
so, that's free advertising, free design and building up a database of e-mail addresses.
They've done quite a good job really!

Could someone enter MRsToast's pic of the boy on the bike with the teddy in his pack and the rainbow coming out his arse?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Do you want me to enter the boy or the teddy? I'm not comfortable with either option but if it means someone tagging along while I ride in Tenerife.....
Posted 4 months ago # -
@cynic-al. That's where I suspected this thread would end up. That thread with the picture you mention was one of the best threads I have ever followed, so calling all you design types do your worst, it would help me through a rather dull day at work tomorrow

That's the prize is it not?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Wrecker - That is indeed the prize, along with one of the finished Jerseys.
To the others, what is so unusual about a business offering an incentive (prize) to the public to come up with a design / slogan / product or what ever. Ok, so maybe some big multinational can offer a bigger prize, but the idea is the same.

Potdog have you got a URL with the 3 logos on you want incorporating in high res please?
Posted 4 months ago # -
I suppose the feeling is that it doesn't seem a prize when the winner would still have to face considerable outlay in order to claim it.
Posted 4 months ago # -
OP, thing is, the prize isn't worth 225 - 300€ is it? Not to you anyway. One assumes you'll already have guides out anyway so the actual cost is far less. Let's pluck a random figure of say 100€ which you're going to shell out to get loads of free designs which you may or may not use, now or at a later date. How much would a design agency charge for three designs which will then require artworking before a shirt printer will look at them?
I have no problem with what you're doing. I just think you could throw something of real value in.
Posted 4 months ago # -
Why don't you just chuck in travel and all expenses, you might shut up the wingers and get some professional graphic designers involved, there's enough of them on here, rather than just have-a-go arty types, you might even get a new logo thrown in

And who would want to go somewhere riding by themselves? I know I would want to go with riding mates.

Attention bike guidey types:
I'd like a bunch of bike guiding companies to each give me two days free guiding, then whichever one I prefer when they're all done wins a free jersey design from me,
Interested, Potdog?
Thought not.

Unfortunately such little *real* value is placed on the contribution us designers can give means there are way too many people asking similar to the OP.
