Pixlr Express is making a COLOURlovers Expansion Pack! This is going to be a such a fun and unique contest open for all talent-types utilizing our very own familiar tools. If you’re crazy impatient and want to skip further reading, go here to submit designs right away!
A Pixlr Expansion Pack is used in photo overlays, borders or stickers in their impressive and fun photo editing apps. Remember to use #PixlrPop on social media to tag and follow the fun!
To enter the contest, you will need two components:
1. A Pattern Template (one or more)… specifically, one you made.
2. A bunch of your own color-popping Palettes to color your Pattern Template(s)
3. After you’ve gotten a collection of bright and powerful colored patterns ready to submit, head on over to the Contest Submission Page and submit like crazy (every day).
Where to start?
I have made some tutorial video’s over the past couple weeks, however, they go in to a lot of detail, so don’t worry, I’ve thrown together a CRASH COURSE to jumpstart and survive the contest!
You will be creating using:
Pattern Template Maker: Seamless Lite
Palette Making: COPASO or Basic Palette Maker

So what’s in it for you?
If your design is chosen (aka you win), it will be used to inspire the Pixlr Design Team’s choices in the development of the COLOURlovers Expansion Pack as a photo overlay, border, or sticker. These are design elements used throughout Pixlr apps, but more specifically you’ll get to see them available on Pixlr Express (for free!). Pretty exciting!
Eight (8) Winners! Check out how the winners-scale works!
This is something more unique to the COLOURlovers contests. I personally love the concept Colin has put together because it allows more overall opportunity.
* Each day a winner will be selected (behind the scenes by Pixlr & the CL Team)
* Be sure to submit and keep submitting each day (as many times as possible!). You must submit content each day to be re-considered for that day. I highly suggest, making fresh designs for each new day. CONTEST SUBMISSION PAGE (again!)
This means each day of the contest is an opportunity to win something (you can only win once throughout the entire contest). It will not matter what time of each day you post, between 12:01am to 11:59pm PST (with the exception of the start and end dates) because the submissions will be randomized in a filtered gallery for the judges panel.
Community LOVES will still be available on submissions, however this filter is not displayed to the judges at choosing time, nor will it affect decisions in the slightest. We did want to do something fun with the community loves so we’ll be giving five (5) Sponsorship 1-year level-up or extensions to COLOURlovers members design submissions with the most Loves. *You may only win once in this category.
Prize Grab Bag!
The prizes are a non-branded gift this time around. Each winner will get to select from our grab bag of fun prizes! Colin has rounded up all sorts of crazy fun prizes that any human should find fun to choose from. Winners will have a set timeframe to choose their prize after winners are announced so that we can ship them all out at once so make sure you are checking your email and will be available post-contest.
