Sorapot has been out for half a year now, and many of my customers are designers, artists, engineers, and other creative people. You’ve given me extremely valuable feedback on my design, but I’ve always been curious to see your thoughts expressed the way you usually express them: visually. With the holidays here, a Sorapot Art Contest seemed like the only way to go.

To enter: create an image inspired by Sorapot.

• Your image can be a sketch, a painting, a photo collage, a rendering- anything that can be reproduced as a 1024 x 768 JPEG.
• The only rule: your image must visually represent Sorapot in some way- the teapot doesn’t have to be front and center, nor does it have to be photo-realistic, but it must be there.
• Email your image to contest@sorapot.com by Sunday, December 14th. I’ll post all images in a gallery here after the judges choose a winner.
• International entries are welcome! I will ship the winner’s Sorapot anywhere in the world, and make sure that it arrives before Christmas

The judges:

Michael from Design Notes
Jean from Notcot
Scott and Matias from Behance
Harry from MoCoLoco
Tina from SwissMiss

The grand prize: A signed, dated, and mirror-polished Sorapot delivered to your door, just in time for Christmas.

The runner up prize: 4 winners will receive a 1-year pro subscription to Aviary. ($99 value). The runner up prize is only given to those participants who have entered images using the Aviary Software.

The resources:
