if you aren't a graphic designer it looks like you can pretty much forget about it, although how many of those "studio's" are one emo kid with a macbook, idk.

yea I was thinking of entering but its not a "design contest" if you will.
I'm pretty sure the format isn't where you design a ski then submit it and they choose a winner, that website is geared towards a professional studio or a graphic artist with a legit portfolio to upload.

It's more like a bidding thing where studios show their portfolios and their concepts and armada picks one to give them the grant, at which point the receiver starts designing.

I have to say, it is a good way to deter those paint entries or half-assed joke ones (Think NS shirt design contest) but it also does make it harder for people not already established in the industry to contribute.

Support a skier instead of some random shmo!

Nominate me for a grant! (tommyshimko)

I have some epic ideas for a super fun graphic swirling around, I just need to make the finalist list!
