This was one of the best diary write ups of a contest experience that I've seen and explains the product really well. It's also very personal and touches on some of the things I felt too when running my contest like:
- Feeling a bit lost when filling out the brief, had to um and ah my way through it, giving some general direction to run with is difficult
- Feeling overwhelmed with the sheer amount of submissions, had like 40 submissions by the end
- Kind of unsure of what to say to different designers as feedback, towards the end was a bit easier to give feedback to the best designs but was also kind of ceebs as the final product didn't have to be perfect, can see how this is different in cases that are business critical
- Fun and delight talking with friends about the submissions, comparing different things, funny how people's tastes in design can differ so much
Here is the final product.
I could get it printed by Vistaprint as a Canvas Print. Could also go to Officeworks? After doing some general browsing of their site it seems difficult to find what I'm after. Would probably have to go in store.
