Win an iPad Mini!! - DESIGN OF THE MONTH CONTEST
Mar 21^st, 2013, 1:43pm

Great news Artists! GCU is hosting a contest on Facebook to find the Design of the Month for March. All Design of the Day winners for March are now (and will be) automatically entered in the contest. Anyone may vote for their favorite card. The artist who receives the most votes by April 7, 2013 will win a fabulous prize - an iPad Mini!

Those artists who have won Design of the Day in March should have received an e-mail notifying them of this event and how to encourage voting. If you did not receive an email, and you have been selected for a Design of the Day this month, please contact me (paul@greetingcarduniverse.com)

Here are the details:

To view entries and vote, you must be a fan of GCU's Facebook page to see the entries and vote. To become a fan, all you have to do is "Like" our FB page.
Check out the details of the contest hre:http://www.facebook.com/greetingcarduniverse?v=app_177914495580579&rest=1

Please, share this information with your FB friends, family, and supporters - For those of you already entered in the contest, get links to share by clicking on your card on the Voting Page. From there you can share with Facebook friends, Twitter followers and e-mail, too. Every vote counts, and if you want to win an iPad Mini, you should get out there and start spreading the word with enthusiasm.

We will be promoting the contest to our FB fan base and our customers. If there's lots of activity and the contest is popular, we might just do this every month, so make it happen!

If you are not in the contest, here's your chance to do a good deed for the day. Please promote the contest or your favorite entry to your friends, family followers, etc. - next month, it could be you who needs the help.

Remember that by helping GCU you're helping yourself, so please take a moment to generate some activity with this contest. Thanks

Thanks for doing this! I'm soooo excited to have a card in the running! I've promoted it to everyone I can think of... I have a very small family and am from a smaller town... so I've been working extra hard! I just wanted to drop by and tell ya thanks again! This is a lot of fun... I'm promoting something I Love to do... and am talking to people I haven't talked to in ages! This is a Great Idea!

I've seen the likes on the GCU Page grow a lot! and yes, I'm still #SUPEREXCITED!!! Cheesy

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know our first Design of the Month Contest is over, and the top cards are posted here: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/top-greeting-cards/default.asp?month=2013-03
From now on you'll always be able to see all the cards selected for DOD at this page.

Congratulations to Ivy Brown for the winning card with over 500 votes! Several artists really tried hard to rally their supporters and we certainly appreciate the effort made. Check out Ivy's cards here: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/ivyandink

We received feedback from several artists, and we learned a lot about how to run this type of contest, so the next one should be even better. Please let us know if you have feedback or suggestions.

Keep up the great work!

Paul

Hi there all, I just came across this forum thread and I want to say a big thank you to Penny for pointing out that my card was misplaced or misfiled. I don't know where you all are finding the new home of the DOD! I am confused! Could someone provide a link for me please? I am notorious for not finding the things that are right under my nose! Cheesy

p.s. Congratulations to the March winners!!
