Fred Flare Design Competition!
Are you the next big thing? Fred Flare.com’s annual design competition wants to know! Fred Flare is a super cute online store specializing in accessories, clothing, home decor, jewelry, and more. The competition gives you the opportunity to pitch your product to the FF buying department.
The deadline to submit your design is May 02, 2008. You can submit online here. There is a $5 fee. Of the thousands of entries, 27 will win and FF will order your product to sell in their store. Winners will need to be able to reproduce between 20-200 pieces. They have a really good FAQ about the competition. An important note is that you will need to provide a wholesale price for your products.
You could also win $1,000! Customers will vote on their favorite item and the designer with the most votes will be crowned 2008’s “fred fan fave” and will be awarded $1,000.
