Looks like Veer is doing some massive marketing with a new competition.  It looks like a very busy time and great for people who are looking for images.  It also looks like it should be good for us WITH images as there should be quite a few people making use of all those download credits.

Hello,
 
Veer is this week kicking-off a new series of Creative Challenges for creatives in the U.S. and Canada at www.veer.com/takeapicture, with the opportunity to win one of 190 one-month subscriptions on Veer Marketplace, as well as a grand prize package worth more than $8,000.

 

Each Monday through Thursday from today through October 29th, creatives can enter daily contests announced on the Veer Twitter account (@VeerUpdate).  On Fridays, creatives can enter week-long contests announced on Veer's blog, The Skinny.

 

The first challenge just announced is to take a photo themed "Big & Blue." The five photos with the best concepts win.

 

Future challenges involve photo-taking, sketching, wordplay, and more robust tasks involving multimedia. Each contest announcement is accompanied with the criteria Veer will be using to judge: best concept, best photo, funniest, best example, etc.

 

Members of the Veer creative team will convene every morning to judge the entries and choose the five winners for each challenge.

 

Daily and weekly challenge winners will receive one-month subscriptions to Veer Marketplace worth $199 each. Each subscription gives users 60 credits per week, for four weeks, to spend on images. That's a $1000 in prizes every weekday, for almost two months.  And on Veer Marketplace, where images are available for as little as one credit, that is a lot of images!

 

On October 30th, Veer will post the Grand Prize Challenge, with the winner receiving:

- 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

 

For more details, visit The Skinny blog or @veerupdate on Twitter.

 

If there are images or more information that I can provide, please let me know!

 

Cheers,

Dan
