Surpass Brilliance Contest

Published on Saturday, August 01, 2009

Techies can’t get the spotlight all of the time, so we declare August 26 to be a day of brilliance. This contest is for all of our clients who are illustrators, photographers, painters or graphic designers. (And by painters we do mean canvas or digital, not houses.) And the request we have from you is: Show us your most beautiful piece of art. It could be something you already made or something you create just for this contest. It could be a drawing, a painting, a photo, or graphic.

Just show us your brilliance.

The Grand Prize Winner receives a medium Wacom Intuos4 which any artist can use.

Depending on how many entries we receive, we will also be giving a prize for Best Photo and Best Illustration or Graphic. Those two winners, if awarded, will have their prizes announced on August 26.

Send in your artwork to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) by August 15 August 24! We have extended the date to give more time for you to enter. We’ll be posting all of the entries on the Surpass website on August 24. Your name and website can be included if you like - you can get great publicity for your site. Voting for the winner will be done by our staff and announced on August 26 here on the blog. Good luck to everyone who enters and shine on.

If you have any questions, ask away! We are looking forward to a very exciting contest, and probably thinking of multiple prizes if we get more entries than expected. Again, good luck!

Do we retain the rights to our work, or are we giving this to you even if it's not a winner?

15. JuliePosted on Monday, August 17, 2009

I'm not one your client. Can i participate this contest.

21. HelenPosted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009
So just one entry per person, correct? I'm having a hard time choosing which to enter! I entered one already though, but was wondering if I could enter more.

22. pennfolioPosted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Interesting. How many entries could we submit?

23. CaseyPosted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009
Kaylaaaaaa. I emailed in my entry ages ago, could you confirm you received it? Thanks x.

24. EricPosted on Wednesday, August 19, 2009
same, I haven't received any reply?

25. DavePosted on Thursday, August 20, 2009
It is one entry per person (I asked on Twitter). Also, I would assume it's only for Surpass Clients, as all the rest of the contests are. One of the perks of being part of the Surpass World.

26. Kayla SelansPosted on Monday, August 24, 2009
I have checked and I have all entries from those who left comments here. In the process now of getting all of the entries up on the site and then voting will take place. Winners will be announced on Aug 26. Please stay posted of our updates at http://twitter.com/surpass or by checking here on the blog. Thank you everyone!

27. JimPosted on Thursday, August 27, 2009
Saw the winners. Don't get it. Especially the best drawing/painting.

28. Kayla SelansPosted on Thursday, August 27, 2009
Jim, we're sorry that you don't agree with the winners - our staff picked what appealed to them, and not exactly the most technical, precise or perfect entries. If that was the case, the contest would have needed another another name smile These entries came up most in our office nominations.
