Premiu: $100
Intrări primite: 89
Câștigător: HKPatel7

Winner

Sumarul concursului

Illustration is roughly 10 square inches, proportions and shape don't matter.

I ONLY NEED THE TEXT, NOT THE PICTURE

Topics are:

- Confidence, not being afraid
- Equality (as in "Social Equality", "Equal opportunity")
- Not holding onto the past. Looking into the future
- Positive attitude towards life

For every picture idea, please provide a short rationale why you think it fits.
No picture needed! (Although you can submit a sketch in addition to the text)

Submission example:

Topic: Not holding onto the past. Looking into the future
Picture: There is a white spaceship flying between planets
Rationale: People often associate spaceships with future

(Note: I don't necessary like this idea, because for me spaceships are related to space industry in general rather than not holding onto the past. But this would be accepted for participation in the contest)

I will be choosing a winner in a couple of hours. A pity we cannot split the prize between 3 people. @HKPatel7 @vipul20044 @AnaCeausescu - you are very close.

  Your contest was really much fun, something else than we are used to. I'm glad that on some ideas we got to be on the same page. I provided my view, my belief and how I feel and see the things (regarding your topics) and I believe everyone tried to do the same. It all went to who came closer to how you feel/see things and it's perfectly normal to be only one person who got closer to what you needed. Congrats to the winner! And congrats to all the other participants who provided their thoughts/mind work and view. Thanks again for this creative contest, wishing you all the best!

It's less than 2 days left, I will be going through all entries that have 4 or 5 stars once again, reconsider and re-rate, but so far leaders are:
1. @HKPatel7
2. @vipul20044
3. @AnaCeausescu

I know it's little time, but in case someone is still working on entries, I will be choosing the winner based on what is listed in the contest description, things I posted on the clarification board. I am also adding two more nice-to-haves that I will use to choose the winner:

- if possible the picture, while simple, should be aesthetically pleasing
- while 1 idea is enough to win, I still have not got one that I absolutely loved. Number of 5 stars entries will be taken into account when choosing the winner. Although this is secondary to quality.

Thank you all for your submissions so far! I went through all entries, reconsidered and re-rated them. I've chosen the top 10, those that have 4 and 5 stars. Although I more or less like them and some of them are very good and deliver on what I asked for, there still hasn't been one that I loved.

In 4 days I will have to choose a winner anyway, it's a guaranteed contest. I just wanted to let you know that you can still submit an idea that will be perfect for my project and you will get the prize.

While it is very subjective, I want to try and make it as specific as I can by adding some additional nice-to-haves. Clarification 11:

max of 1 person or 1 animal (none is fine too).

simple objects, archetypes, will probably work.

no special knowledge should be required to understand what is on the picture.

As I clarified before: no missing limbs. In general it should not be "sad". It can be positive, pretty, scary, serious, fun - whatever. But it should not be sad or morbid.

Clarification 10: All styles are accepted and there are no limits to what can be on the picture. Pictures can have words in them, no problem. However, while I'll consider all submissions, I am hoping to get something more graphic than just text, even if it's the right text.

Clarification 8. People submit great ideas forgetting the fact that the picture is only 10 inches small and to be looked at from 3-6 feet. Don't go crazy with details. For example having a bunch of people with certain emotions on their faces may not work.

I know it is more challenging that way. This task is not only about creative thinking, but also about researching the topics, understanding what can symbolize them, create a strong connection in observer mind.

Here is another example of an entry by @vipul20044, which I like, that does have people in it yet still works:

Picture: Show a girl using a paintbrush to paint "Future" on the wall. Position her as if she is just finishing painting the letter "e".

Rationale: Images of small kids resonate well with people. Painting the word "Future" sends a powerful message, "You can paint your own future"

Clarification 7. A great entry example. This is an actual submission by @vipul20044 and you cannot use it. It is just to demonstrate the kind of entries I am looking for:

Topic: Equality (as in "Social Equality", "Equal opportunity")

Idea: Show a picture of people (different color and nation) standing on a globe, holding hands

Rationale: Equality is associated with Diversity. It is all about everyone joining hands and accomplishing things together. An image with people standing together as equals irrespective of their race, ethnicity, speak volumes.

Clarification 3: Imagine a person looking at the drawing made from your entry. When asked and trying to guess "what the drawing is about", one of many things that come to mind should be one of the four topic in contest description.
