August Back Porch Memories Guest Designer Call

See the sketch and more information here

They”d like to see your layout include a title, photo(s) and journaling. Layouts will be judged by their design team on creativity and best overall design. The winning layout will earn a spot on their team for the month of August, and this Guest Designer will get to work with one of their monthly kits. There will also be a random drawing from all contest entries for a prize.

Rules of their Guest Designer Contest:
1. One (1) layout entry per person.
2. Entry must use the August sketch (on our Message Board under “contests”) and include a title, photo(s) and journaling.
3. Your layout must be NEWLY CREATED for this contest and not posted elsewhere during the contest period. After the contest is over, you can post your creation wherever you’d like.
4. Deadline for entries is July 10, midnight Eastern time (New York City time), so they can announce our winner around July 15.
5. Entry must be uploaded to the August ’10 Guest Design Team Folder in our gallery (under “contests”) to be eligible.
6. Due to increased international shipping times and our tight due dates, they will not accept international submissions for their Guest Designer contest, with the exception of Canadian entries. Canadian entries ARE still being accepted. If you are not physically located in the the continental United States (or Alaska or Hawaii) or Canada, they cannot accept your submission. They’re continuing to keep an eye on the shipping situation and will reevaluate this rule if it improves.
7. You must not have been a Guest Design Team Member at Back Porch Memories in the last six months. If it’s been over that time period, feel free to enter again.

1. You’ll be contacted via a BPM private message, and you’ll be required to accept the position within 3 days of notification.
2. Your photo and bio will be featured in our newsletter and they will need these within a few days of your acceptance.
3. You’ll receive one of the August kits and will be required to complete at least 3 layouts and 1 project (altered piece, card, etc.) with the kit. These must be uploaded to the July Design Team folder in our gallery by August 10th.
4. One of your layouts must be completed and emailed to us by July 31st so it may be included on their site as a “teaser.”
5.  You need to participate in the forums by posting a minimum of 5 times a week.
6. You will be assigned to either host a monthly challenge on our message board OR use one of our monthly sketches to complete a layout for their newsletter. This assignment counts as one of their three required layouts.
Good luck!
