Cape Town, South Africa – Springleap.com in association with Vodacom, is proud to announce the launch of their latest design initiative centred around making connections through the power of Vodacom.
This is a design contest that focuses on the visual expression of connecting through Vodacom and its power to connect people’s lives. Designers are encouraged to imagine living without chatting to their friends via SMS, Social Media or email – basically without all the ways in which Vodacom provides them with the power to connect via their mobiles. The winner will receive R10 000 in cash and massive exposure to launch their design career.
Richard Boorman, Head of Media Relations for Vodacom :
“We are very excited to be partnering with Springleap.com, the leaders in crowdsourcing technology in South Africa, as well as a unique platform for the *empowerment of artists*”.
Eran, co-founder of Springleap.com, is quoted:
“Springleap is thrilled to be working with Vodacom to launch yet another fantastic opportunity for designers to find empowerment and exposure. This competition will allow Vodacom to socially tap into thousands of creatives across South Africa - and internationally - to submit powerful designs around the set brief and enjoy an extremely engaging social networking and *crowdsourcing * experience. We are also launching Facebook Connect for easier registration and stronger social seeding”.
The competition is open for submissions until March 25, 2021. The Springleap.com community will vote on all submissions and ultimately the winner will be announced after the month voting period.
