FULL  DETAILS:  

Please upload your challenge designs to your account on our website.  If you haven’t already got an account, it’s simple to set up.  You just need an email address, password and name, which can be your own name, a nickname or a business name.  (You will be prompted to log in or create an account when you try to save your design.)  Then email me at admin@printmepretty.co.uk, to tell me the name of your account and design.  (So I can find the right one!)  This is the name you use on your account, please.  It's the one on the black ribbon at the top of the screen when you log into your account.  I need this name to find your design.  There's no need to send me a link as this will not work until your design has been made public.  Without the correct name, it is very time-consuming for me to find your design, so your entry may not be included.    

You may also upload your design to our Facebook page.  I will put any not already uploaded onto Facebook after the closing date.   In case you're wondering about the order in which designs are listed on Facebook, the first to arrive in my inbox goes at the top, with the rest listed in the order in which they are sent in.   We may select one or two to put into our competition winners slot.  If you're on Instagram, you can post your design there, with the hashtag #pmpdesignchallenge.  I may regram some of them.  (Likes from there won't be counted.)

If you'd like to make your design public, order a swatch using voucher code DOLL.  This will enable you to order without paying.  I won't print the fabric, but you will then be able to make it public.

 So, the challenge is:  Create a cut and sew doll design suitable for printing on fabric .

Technical matters:

Your design should be at a resolution of at least 150 dpi, but not more than 300, using RGB colour space.

Your design should either fit a fat quarter (56cms x 50cms), when it will be printed on plain cotton, or a tea towel (50cms x 75cms) , when it will be printed onto tea towel fabric.

To take part:

Upload your design onto our website by Tuesday, 19th November, giving it a title.  Email me at admin@printmepretty.co.uk, telling me the title of your design and the name of your account.  You can also say a little about the inspiration behind your design, if you wish.

The closing date for receiving designs is midnight on Tuesday, 19th November, after which designs will be displayed (at the fat quarter size) on Facebook and on the blog.  Any designs uploaded to Facebook after the closing date may be removed.

By entering, you agree to our challenge terms and conditions.

You may only submit one entry, which must be your own work and be a cut and sew fabric doll, with printed clothes or removable clothes printed with the doll.  ‘Your own work’ means any form of original art work, photography, etc which you have produced. Your design should not have been entered in one of our previous competitions or challenges.

All entries will be displayed, unless we feel that the subject matter is inappropriate.  Copyright will remain with you, but by entering the challenge, you give us the right to use your design in any way we wish on our web site and social media, for advertising purposes.

All designs entered into the challenge may be made public on our web site without charge and will be available for sale.   The designer will be paid £2 per metre commission on any sales of the design.

Over to you!
