Calling All Artists: 2019 Holiday Cards [SUBMISSIONS CLOSED]

{Submissions for this open call are now closed. Thank you to all who submitted!}

We’re already feeling the holiday spirit and want you to join in on the fun.

This year, we’re opening things up with a festive holiday card competition. Hallmark has nothing on us.

We want to see your clever, punny, cute, most irresistibly seasonal work.

The chosen artists will have their designs showcased on our Instagram Stories for our followers to vote for their favorites. Plus, we will also be featuring the winning designs on social, email and on the site.

This is a great chance to have your work front and center on a product that will be in high-demand this holiday season.

We have provided some thought-starters below to help guide your thinking but feel free to draft your own too. The only rule is to have fun with it!

To be eligible, submit your design before October 25th at 11:59 PM PST.

Content Prompts: Feel free to use them as-is or to kick off your own brainstorm!
