More information about the design:

  • Please remember that the artwork will be printed on a card or stationery item. It is not very big, so a simple design is better. When it comes to our paper we always say: “less is more”.
  • The whole page should not be covered with a solid background colour. Artwork with white background works better onour paper as the texture and colour of our paper add to the quality of the product.
  • Our products are sold internationally, so the Christmas theme should be relevant to all countries and cultures and notbound to a specific season or religion.
 

Prize:

 
R250 and a gift pack filled with Growing Paper goodies for each of the 6 designs chosen.
 
Your artwork will also receive an international platform and exposure as part of Growing Paper’s Christmas range.
