Design Team Call… Now is your time, Join the Challenge!

UA got talent design team search

Welcome to the Urban Anthology Design Team Call…”Urban Anthology’s Got Talent!” We are sad to say good bye to our current design team, as they have been so inspirational and talented, and such wonderful ladies to work with. But it’s time to see some fresh new ideas. It’s time for you to dig deep into your stash, and deep into your skills and pull out all of those wonderful creations, tricks, and techniques you have been waiting for the “right time” to make.

I bet your wondering how you can be apart of our next design team…

There are two ways to play… its pretty simple… you can try your luck…or take it easy over the next 5 weeks and show us what you have got! Here is a look at the two options:

Option 1… try your luck…

Each week you must submit your work in the appropriate Urban Anthology Gallery folder by Midnight the Thursday after the assignment is posted. Starting the following Saturday the entries will be posted on the Urban Anthology blog for 5 days to be voted on by the members and visitors to UA blog… that’s right, get your friends, get your families, get your Facebook stalking buddies to come vote for you! At the end of the competition the person with the most points will win a position on our design team. The catch is you won’t know your score until you win!!! Oh the drama, but us girls love drama don’t we??? But remember, the person with the most points must have completed all 5 of the challenges by the final due date. (All challenges do not have to be voted on, however, challenges submitted after each weekly voting date, will not receive any points)

The points will be assigned as follows:

  • 20 points for each of the first four challenges, and 40 points for challenge 5, for a total of 120 points possible.
  • Points will be given based on rating earned from the online vote.
    • The top rating will get 20 points, the second top will get 19 points, 15th place 6 points and so on…
    • After the first 15 entries, every person after that will get 5 points regardless of rank.

Option 2… slow and steady…

Participate in all five challenges, and have them all completed by Midnight Thursday, October 22, 2009, with your work placed in the appropriate folders in the Urban Anthology Gallery. Three lucky participants will be selected based on the overall work completed over the 5 weeks of challenges.

The “portfolio” that you will have created over the 5 weeks should demonstrate the following:

Your unique style, that is well defined

How well your style works with our kits

Your ability to bring new ideas to the Urban Anthology Message Board and Blog

Your creativity

Your adaptability to a variety of challenges and activities

Are you ready to get started?

Do you have your scissors, paper trimmer, adhesives, chalks, inks, stickers, papers, flowers, embellishments, etc… ready to go? Well… it looks like you have to wait until 12:01 AM Friday, September 18th, 2009 for your first challenge!

And remember, there will be a new challenge posted each Friday, for 5 weeks. All of the projects will be due Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 12 Midnight PST.

If you want to know what you will be expected to do as a design team member, check out the Design Team Call page for all the details.
