Charity Christmas Card Competition

[Guest123]

I thought it would be a good idea if the forum members could have a competition to design a Christmas Card with our UK Plumbers Logo on it to promote the forum and the logo from a charity chosen by its members also featured prominently in the design.

The winner will have 100 cards printed as a donation by myself for their own personal use and another 1,000 will be printed and donated to the chosen charity so that they can sell them for fund raising.

The judge will be independent and the chief designer from the printing company.

Any thoughts on this?

Yes don't let mountainman enter.

 

[Guest123]

Time is short and need to get this up and running a soon as guys 'n' gals. Can I just add that the winning entrant will have their company logo printed as well and it doesn't have to be a masterpiece, just a nice Christmas theme. My preference at this time of year would be for a kids charity, but that's up to you lot.

 

[Barry98]

Crack on , let the games begin

 

[Guest123]

Lee, just to make it interesting, why not have the winning entrant of next months job of the month competition featured on the Christmas card?

Due to the low amount of entries to the Christmas Card Competition, it's now become too late in the month of December to continue with this and have time to put the winning entrant to a commercial printer.

HOWEVER!!! The prize is now a terrific one. The winner picked from our poll will receive 5,000 full colour leaflets printed on A5 gloss paper and will include a bespoke design by myself and delivery direct to your door for mid January. This will help you through the January hard times and bring some work in, right through to the Spring.

To enter, design a Christmas card with a plumbing theme. ENTRIES MUST BE IN BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE OF SATURDAY 22ND OF DECEMBER.
They can be anything, humorous, serious or whatever, but must not be offensive (and no swearing), but must have a plumbing theme!

Get busy guys!

 

[Barry98]

ON THE 23RD i will set a poll up like we do for jotm for 7 days , for everyone to vote
