Kickoff

Enter creative contests at Veer, win $50,000 in prizes

Starting today, we’re giving away $50,000 in prizes to winners of daily and weekly creative contests. Why? Because we like you that much.

Monday through Thursday, you can enter daily contests announced on our Twitter account VeerUpdate. Fridays, you can enter week-long contests announced here on The Skinny.

Every daily and weekly contest will have 5 winners (chosen by Veer’s creative team) who will receive one-month subscriptions to Veer Marketplace worth US$199 each. Each subscription gives you 60 credits per week, for 4 weeks, to spend on images.

That's $1000 in prizes every weekday, for almost two months!

Then, on October 30th, we'll post a final contest, for a grand prize package worth $8000:

  • Apple® 17" MacBook Pro
  • Adobe® Creative Suite® 4
  • 1,000 Veer Marketplace credits
  • Jukebox type collection (122 fonts)
  • Type Tray laptop cushion
  • Kern Zip-up
How hard you play in the daily, weekly, and grand prize contests is up to you. Knowing how talented our audience is, competition should be fierce and fun!

Visit the contest page for more information, rules, and regulations.

ok, fortunately you can't see me blush, but I am Twitter-challenged!! I cannot for the life of me fathom how it works and believe me I've tried. Are these the same as "threads?" (I don't get them either)....even though i understand one is following a particular series of responses, I cannot seem to really get it...I do other things well...(sniff!)
