Impressed by DBH humans recently announced $10k contest? Prepare to be impressed again, only even more… La Fraise have announced what must be one of the biggest prizes in recent design contest memory (since Threadless’ Bestees design of the year which i awarded $20k I guess), one lucky designer will scoop up €15k in a special contest. Converting that into your funny $ system, that’s an incredible $20,930! Which as far as I know makes it the biggest ever prize in the design contest world?
Apparently in 2008 the average yearly wage for a woman was $35k (source: Wikipedia), so winning this one contest alone would net you over half a years average US salary, in conclusion – it’s mega.
You might be thinking oh yeah that’s nice, but who are these lafraise guys, am I going to get the same sort of exposure as I would by winning DBH or Threadless. Worry not, you’ll do just fine, la Fraise is the largest design contest in Europe and its reputation is growing in other markets. 2000 people will wear your shirt (lafraise is now shipping pretty much worldwide), and you can be sure of some good coverage of a contest this big.
Deadline is 10th August, more info and t&c’s on lafraise blog here
