Enter Our Awesome Autumn Design Contest

Kelley Johnson Last updated: March 28, 2024 · 3 min read

In just over a week, fall will be upon us (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). The autumnal equinox is on September 23rd, and will mark the first day of the 2014 fall season. While we are somewhat sad to see summer come to an end, we’re pretty excited about brisk autumn air, sweater weather, and pumpkin flavored everything. So, we decided to welcome in fall with a wonderful Creative Market contest. Make sure you read on for more details, we have a feeling you’re really going to like this one!

How to Enter

Entering this contest is a cinch! With the help of a few wonderful Creative Market shop owners, we’ve put together some fantastic fall themed Free Goods this week. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to use one or more of those free goods to design something with a fall/autumn feel. Then, simply share your design on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest with the hashtag #CMAwesomeAutumn to enter the contest. Note: You can use any other additional products or resources along with at least one of this week’s Free Goods of the Week. We’ll go through the entries, choose our favorite designs, and announce the winners on September 23rd, the first day of fall. Here are the Free Goods you’ll be working with:

And here’s an example of a design that was put together by our Chief Creative Officer, Gerren Lamson, using some of these Free Goods:

What’s the Prize?

There will be a total of three winners and we’re partnering up with Moo.com to bring you some epic prize packages!

  • Grand Prize: $100 in Creative Market Credits, $100 in MOOlah from Moo.com, and a Creative Market Tee
  • Second Place: $50 in Creative Market Credits, $65 in MOOlah from Moo.com, and a Creative Market Tee
  • Third Place: $25 in Creative Market Credits, $50 in MOOlah from Moo.com, and a Creative Market Tee

With all of the talent in our community and so many awesome Free Goods lined up for this week, we know you folks are going to knock this design contest out of the park! We’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Header image created using Leave Clipart with Seamless Patterns, Lulo 3D Font Family, and Thirsty Rough Complete Family.
