Now we want to give back to all our users with credit towards growing their operations. We've done contests like this before. We know there's a lot of talent out there. Here are the rules this time around: 1. Posts will be anonymous to avoid any potential bias. Private message Marketing@USCutter (hover over the profile icon--Note:you'll have to create a login and have to be signed in) an image of your weeded (not applied) vinyl design on the backer. I will assign you a number and post your submission to this thread for everyone to view. (Note: Please limit your number of submissions to 3 at the most) 2. Use original artwork. Spooky Halloweed-themed designs would be especially in demand. 3. Indicate what type of vinyl you used. Heat Transfer Vinyl and Sign Vinyl may be considered for different awards. 4. Tell us what's your favorite weeding tool and why. 5. The top 5-10 entries will be selected by USCutter judges on the basis of creativity and inventiveness, difficulty, and visual appeal.
