Subject: TJSCHILLER.COM is UP AND HAS A SICK CONTEST
http://www.tjschiller.comBeen hustlin on this one for a while !
Take a peep, check it out !
BE SURE TO CHECK THE CONTEST FIRST PAGE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN AN ASS-TON OF GEAR.
Thanks everyone !
Enjoy the early season :D
I have to agree here. This industry has a terrible habit of grossly underpaying (if at all) artists and very talented individuals who work very hard on projects like this.
I find it reasonable that artists are a bit taken back or reluctant to submit when CoreUpt likely pays its janitors at least a minimum wage to do their job and here the artists' compensation is "being cool."
I think CoreUpt is a large enough company to reasonably compensate these artists and show they respect their art. It's just the professional thing to do - contest or not.
Accordingly changing the fine print to compensate the winner is the thing to do here and it's definitely not too late. Just an oversight - that's all.
Just my two cents.

Yo Teej,
There was a picture on the home page of your website (sick site, by the way) in which you were holding onto the wing of Chug's airplane, and I was just wondering, what is the name of the orange gloves you had on in that picture, and where the hell can I get a pair? They're so ill!

I agree that there have been some instances in the past where companies have taken advantage of artists. That being said, the idea behind this contest was to involve newschoolers and artists in the process of creating TJ's new promodel ski - not to rip them off. This is a cool way for people to send in what they think is a rad design for a ski with the chance to have it featured on a pro-model and win a bunch of sick gear for the season. If a professional designer decides to send in a design to win some gear and make a legit addition to their portfolio, that is their choice. This is NOT meant to rip anyone off, which is why the fine print is there in the first place. I appreciate your input, but at this point we just can't throw a cash prize into the mix.I have to agree here.

Keep sending those designs in, there are some sick ones! There should be an update on the site this week with some of the best designs so far.
And conversely thanks for posting an honest response.
I think it helps just to acknowledge the situation and state your stance.
That being said - thanks. It's now absolutely clear this contest is designed for amateurs looking for a chance to make it - not professionals.
Hope someone gets their big break!

Ok everyone - I`ve been on this website since it started out. I`ve seen the artistic talent and stoke level from all of you over the years. I worked with a SICK designer the last 2 seasons and was more than happy with him. This is something i came up with to try and involve everyone who loves what we all do. It is not a coreupt.com contest. Its my contest and i wanna give the designers on here a chance to show off their work and win some epic prizes. Think of this as the US Open of ski designing and a way to show your talents to the industry. If its money you guys are worried about - slang all the gear you win you`ll get a couple grand. I`m not trying to rip anyone off. The designs that have come through are epic already and i`ve already seen a couple i would be MORE than happy to rock. LETS HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT !!!
TJ
I AM GOING TO WIN!
Really guys? As so called "artists", some of you guys sound like greedy assholes. Do you really think you are going to make a living making art and only selling that? Wow.......good luck.
This sounds like a sick ass contest, to bad Im not the greatest artist but I might have to try my hand at this. Im probably gonna draw it though on paper, I can get more creative and flowly that way.
By the way, here are the prizes, sounds fucking sick to me! over a grand worth of stuff! I dont' know of anyones art thats worth more than that, especially not mine.
What Can You Win?
After selecting the top entries, I’m going to hook up the final winner with:
* My full set-up supplied by Dragon, Skullcandy, Nike, Coreupt.com, POC, Monster, and Newschoolers.com
* Design featured on my new new pro-model ski, to hit the market in fall 2010
I’m also going to be awarding a ton of gear to the runner-up, most creative,
and a few other choice categories.

I'm not saying the prize in this case isn't worth pumping out a quick entry, but you've got some pretty messed-up reasoning there man.Really guys?

Where did I say I wasn't entering the competition? You need to settle down, man. The fact is, with the ubiquity of high-tech ski construction these days, often it's only the graphics that differentiate them from the competition. A high-quality design on a ski that brings increased sales merits a financial reward for the artist, just as someone who innovates in ski design to provide a higher-quality ski deserves a financial reward. The fact is, artists are frequently treated as a freely available commodity, and 'spec work' like this is ethically debatable.
Does the winner get any sort of deal on the skis they designed?
well heres my entry i sent
i dont think i have a chance at winning cause its hand drawn but whatever, drawing it was pretty fun

dude, that is such a rad idea. That had to take a lot of work, it would make a super sick for just a picture to hang on the wall.

Theres the picture without having to travel to the link hopefully.
I dont get why people care so much about the company taking ownership of there design. The design is for a pair of skies and thats whats going to happen if it's good enough. Luckly I've been drawing long enough and have gotten good enough at it to know that when I give away my art I can just make a new one better than the last. I draw for the sake of drawing.

Anyone looking to use an illustrator ski template, I have created one. If you want it just email info@tjschiller.com and I will send it off. For those who have already submitted designs and wanted a template, don't worry, it won't effect the rating of your design. You can still submit anything for the contest, doesn't need to be an illustrator file on a ski template.
Keep them coming. 11 days left.
