Come to www.foldees.com to rate some designs, and help us pick a winner for the “We Are All Geeks” Greeting Card Design Contest.
Over the past month (from 17th June till 24th July), we have been running a greeting card contest with the theme “We Are All Geeks”, challenging designers to come up with a new generation of greeting cards aimed at the geek inside everyone of us.
In a nutshell, the response has been amazing. After moderation for content and quality, we have ended up with 73 awesome entries, and we don’t know where to begin picking a winner! That’s why we need your help in rating these designs, from now until the 26th of August 2008. After that, we’ll award the RM7k worth of prizes to the Top 5 highest-rated cards.
