The Everyday Moments (EDM) competition that we are running through For Keeps magazine is now officially underway. We hope that you join in on what will be an amazing journey.
There is quite a bit of information to absorb with this promotion, so we will list everything under headings to make it as clear as we can. As we become aware of questions relating to the competiton we will update this post so that you only need to look in one place to find the answers.
Timing of Competition - The competition will run from Issue 44 (July '06) until Issue 51 (February '07). Your entries must be in to For Keeps by 5pm on 31st March '07. Judging will take place in April '07.
Prize Pool - Attached to the album competition is a prize pool of $10,000 in product from the competition sponsors. The prize pool will be shared amongst 10 lucky winners.
Competition Sponsors - We have 10 fabulous sponsors for this competition - BasicGrey, Scenic Route, Junkitz, SEI, Sassafras Lass, Michael Miller Memories, Carolee's Creations, Li'l Davis Designs, Heidi Swapp and Strano Designs.
Album Specifications - Your album must be no smaller than 6"x6" and no larger than 12"x12". The album does not need to be from one of the sponsors; You may use any album that you choose.
EDM Themes - Each month for the next 8 months, we will announce a different Everyday Moments theme in For Keeps magazine. The themes are broad and include family, home, work, and so on. You may interprete the themes however you like.
Number of Layouts - You must complete at least 3 layouts for each monthly theme. At the end of the 8 months, you will have completed 24 layouts dedicated to the Everyday Moments of your life. You may complete more pages but it is not a requirement.
Use of Sponsor Product - You must use at least 80% sponsor product throughout your album. There are 10 sponsors and you may use any of their products on any of your pages.
Use of Onsert - Each month we will be providing a free product from one of the sponsors. This "onsert"; (so called because it is attached on the magazine rather than in the magazine) must be used in one of the layouts you create for that month's theme.
Online Competition - In addition to the album competition, we will be running an online competition each month on the FK website. This competition is completely separate to the album competition. You may enter one or both competitions.
Online Prizes - There will be 5 prizes awarded each month for the projects that best showcase the sponsor's product.
Online Comp Rules - The rules for the online competition will be posted to the FK website over the next couple of days. We will then post them here so please check back.
Participating Retailers - Many of the participating retailers are also running in house competitions over the course of the next 8 months to help keep you all on track. We recognise that this is a huge commitment and we will do what we can to keep you all inspired and motivated.
Aussie Design Team - Every week we will put a selection of layouts from our Design Team here on the blog. We will showcase a broad range of products from each of the 10 sponsors.
