The Summer 2018 round of our Window Treats Contest is happening right now and the stakes have never been higher. We are very excited to be giving away a $500 Apple gift-card which is enough to order the best iPad with the new Apple pencil, an Apple watch with a pair of AirPods, or some Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones (our personal favorite.)
As always, the second and third place winners will receive $200 (1st) and $100 (2nd) account credits and EVERY participant will receive a very cool “I love Design” Pop-Socket just for being a good sport.
We have made a couple of noteworthy changes to the contest
- Participants may now submit up to 4 images per entry – We had submissions in the Spring that included some very clever uses of our drapery hardware as well as other details and customizations that were impossible to illustrate with only one image. For this reason we increased the image submission limit to 4 which should serve to make the entries more clear.
- You can include a story with your submission – Every project has a story; Some are funny like the time an overly amorous bulldog almost knock me off a ladder to express his undying love for my leg, some are anxiety inducing like when I had to cut down a cornice without the client noticing, and others are inspiring, impressive, or challenging. Adding the ability to share those stories with your images will give our audience more insight and hopefully more reason to vote for you!
This is only the second round of the Window Treats contest. The first one was a real blast and went pretty smoothly, but thanks to some helpful feedback from past participants, we have decided to make the improvements described above. We have also made many less-noticeable changes on the “back end” that will significantly enhance the contest experience.
Mark and I sincerely hope that you will consider participating either as an entrant or a voter. If you have half the fun that we did you will not be disappointed!
