The Summer Solstice occurred at 11:28AM on Monday, June 21st, and with it, the official beginning of Summer! Here’s to hot, sunny days filled with family, friends, flags and fun!
As we first told you last summer, we’ve sold over a million flags, mailbox covers, mats and other outdoor decorative art products over the years – but we seldom get to see the many creative ways you display them at your homes, and in your gardens and outdoor settings.
That all changed when we did our first ever Flag Fables Design Contest last July. We had an amazing response to our contests last year and it was great to see how creative you all are!
So, it seemed a fitting way to celebrate the beginning of this new Summer with a new contest:
Announcing the Flag Fables Summer Best Outdoor Design Contest!
It’s easy to enter – just send us an original digital photo of your favorite outdoor setting with either individual, or a combination of, flags, yard art pieces, mailbox covers and/or doormats by Tuesday, July 13th, 2010. Your photographs can be taken at your own home, with your own design ideas, or at someone else’s home whose designs inspire you.
We’ll post the top entry photos here on our blog for everyone to see and then select and announce our favorite designs by Monday July 19th, 2010.
The winner will get a $250 Flag Fables Gift Certificate and the two runners up will each get a $100 Flag Fables Gift Certificate!
Contest Rules:
1. Email up to 3 original photographs of your favorite outdoor art design along with your address & phone number to me wendy@flagfables.com by midnight, Tuesday, July 13th, 2010. We’d love to see & share your Summer ideas, but you can submit settings from any season.
2. All photographs must include either an individual flag, mailbox cover, yard art display, door mat or some combination of them.
3. All photographs become property of Flag Fables and we reserve the right to use them for promotional purposes like posting them to our Web sites.
4. Limit one entry per family.
5. If the same home setting is entered more than once, and that setting wins, the first photograph submitted will be the winner.
6. Photographs previously submitted are not eligible for this new contest and will be disqualified if entered.
7. No purchase necessary.
So, send me photographs of your best, most favorite design work. The entries we received last year were wonderful! I can’t wait to see what else you’ve done!
Happy Summer and Happy Flag Flying!
Wendy
P.S. And remember to check back here between July 6th and July 12th – first we’ll post the top entries for everyone to see. And then, on July 12th, we’ll post the winners.
