GelaSkins is passionate about great design which is why you'll find some of world's most creative minds gracing their pages. A portion of each skin, case or print sold goes directly to the creator, helping to support and promote independent artists everywhere. Pretty neat, right?

The HardCase is the newest addition to the product family. It is a tough polycarbonate case made to protect iPhones and impact damage and everyday wear-and-tear. Simple to install and remove, the one-piece snap-on construction holds tight for maximum protection. The HardCase allows for easy access to buttons and is compatible with charging cables and screen protectors.

So let's get down to business! Here are the details to enter our contest and possibly win the fabulous prices below.
How to enter:
Submit one of your patterns here. Just select a pattern template that you designed and colored and apply it to the hardcase... Easy as that! Give it a try.
Prizes:
1st place prize: Winner will become the next GelaSkins artist, and will collect royalties on the sale of their design to our customers.
Runners Up: The 2nd-5th runners up will receive $100 gift card towards custom GelaSkins featuring your pattern.
The 1st place winner will be chosen by GelaSkins but the 2nd-5th place winners will be chosen via voting by your community. Once you create your submission, make sure to check out the other submissions and vote for your favorites.
Submissions will close June 4th and we will be announcing the winner on June 5! Good luck!

I don't think I will ever win a contest, but I make an entry because it is fun to see a real item with my pattern.

I hope we learn more about the mechanics of the contest soon. It's easy to make a palette, but I put hours of effort into my templates, and retaining rights is precious to me. If I lose the rights to my templates, it's just not a fair deal for me. That's why I want a clarification.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Hi, Ereseigh!
All the entries are automatically tagged "gelaskins-hardcase". You can either do a search for that term, or you can go to the regular link for an entry (click the name underneath the iphone image), and scroll down to the tags. The entries will come up in descending number of votes, but you can rearrange them however you like. :)
....Or you can just click this link. :)

Great! That is what I have been waiting to hear! Work for hire situations have been one of the banes of my illustrating career, and a big reason I left the business.

Bizee, work for hire (which thankfully this is not) is a calculated risk. Sure it's good to have portfolio pieces, and fame and glory forever, but if you lose your rights, you lose the power to make money with a piece of your work over your entire career. That's how artists stay poor, and how a lot of companies take advantage of them because artists don't know or care about their rights in advance. Watch out for these situations in the future, your work is valuable! Not just once, but over and over again. I worry about you out there!

Thanks for the insight, I am curious about something...
wouldnt the Creative Commons license help out? Im not sure how it all works.
Or does this not fall under it?
I design digital scrapbook kits and etc and give them free and have them under the Creative Commons as well
