Gardens For Health Pattern Contest

I am thrilled to announce the Gardens For Health Pattern Contest! Gardens for Health International is a wonderful organization that works in East Africa to provide agricultural assistance to those who struggle with chronic malnutrition. The founder, Emma Clippinger, has long dreamed of developing a signature “Gardens for Health” print to use on bags, dresses, napkins, and aprons and I thought the Pattern Observer community would love to lend her a helping hand. Here are the details:

 

Your Client: Gardens for Health International

Deadline: October 27th (exactly two weeks from today!)

Your Assignment: To develop an original print that incorporates images that are important to Gardens for Health. Examples include: flowers or sunflowers, seeds, avocados, tomatoes, carrots, beets, eggplants, lettuce/cabbage, squash, sweet potato, broccoli — all things that they grow! Hint: Emma is drawn to simplistic prints that can be easily printed!

Submission Guidelines: Please submit an 11″x17″ jpeg of your final artwork to michelle@patternobserver.com

Prizes:

1. The winner will receive their artwork printed an a variety of items that will be sold worldwide to support an amazing organization! These pieces will also be featured on Pattern Observer.

2. The winner will receive a spot in The Sellable Sketch course that starts November 7th! This is a five week intensive course in which you will learn how to develop an irresistible surface design collection ($180 value.)
