Springleap Video Interview

Our friends at Pop Culture Tees recently posted about this video interview with Eran from Springleap. I have mentioned Springleap before a few times as you might remember. They are a South Africa based t-shirt competition site. They seem like a nice bunch of people and it is nice to what they look like and how they are thinking. From the video and as they have mentioned many times, winning is not just about money at Springleap, it is about exposure. Watch the video to find out how winning at Springleap can help your career.

As well as the above interview with From the Couch there is also a video showing us around the Springleap offices and introducing us to the staff. Pretty cool and much shorter than the interview so you are less likely to fall asleep.

Some of you may also remember my criticism of Springleap’s prizes and mentioning the fact that I hadn’t received all of them yet. Since then the system has changes and they are awarding prizes of about $750 with no runners up to receive the pathetic prizes like I received. Well done Springleap!

I would also like to mention that I never received the hand-drawn poster of my design nor have I received any royalties from sales of my design.  In a way I have been waiting over 6 months for that poster so I guess they some more work to do.

Big Blue T-Shirt Design Contest

South African clothing company Big Blue are running a t-shirt design competition at the moment and the prize is pretty sweet. R20,000 (about US$2,500) plus R10 per shirt sold. The theme is Funny-Galore. They are looking for a design that makes them laugh. From what I can see the contest is open to everyone no matter which country you reside in which is pretty cool. It’s called the Makhulu Polane Awards 2008 and I have no idea what that means.
