SHOW US THE SPIRIT OF MANENTINE'S: 

 

Manentine's Day is a special day on which we celebrate the love that a gal has for her man.

It’s just like Valentine’s Day - a holiday to celebrate love & togetherness – but celebrated exactly one month later on March 14^th, and focuses solely on the man in the relationship. This special day is all about showing love as seen through the eyes of men, or the love of men through the eyes of their significant other.

Springleap wants to see designs that show all of the above – designs that show love, in a manly way.

 

ABOUT MANENTINE'S DAY:

Manentine’s Day exists thanks to Valentina (St. Valentine’s daughter) who was spoiled by her lover, Joe Manentine, each year on February 14^th, and decided to repay him the love and kindness in a similar fashion exactly one month later. Joe Manentine is seen as a Saint in the eyes of many men, for leading to the creation of this day – especially for those who are fortunate enough to celebrate Manentine’s Day.

 

These days, Manentine’s Day is celebrated across the globe by both couples, and single men who salute their bros. Valentina’s list of Joe Manentine’s favourite things to do has been carried down through the centuries and adapted to fit contemporary male traditions. Here is the official list of “The 10 Rules For Manentine’s Day.” In the spirit of Valentina and with the help of her list, go forth, celebrate your man, let your partner celebrate you, get creative, show the love, and may you have a very Happy Manentine’s Day!

 

YOUR MISSION:

Create a design that embodies The Spirit of Manentine’s Day.

Show us the Spirit of Manentine’s Day by illustrating just how much you love your man (or for the guys – how you love to be loved!) and all the ways in which you celebrate him and show him your appreciation!

 

THE BRIEF:

We want to see designs that clearly embody “The Spirit of Manentine’s Day”. Show us the manly side of love, why you love him, how you praise him, and what you do on Manentine’s Day; from going to manly restaurants, doing manly activities, or getting manly gifts. 

If you’re a man that wants to be celebrated on Manentine’s Day – show us what your ultimate day of manly-love would be like.

 

Create a design that shows the following:

• what love looks like in a manly way,
• the belief in equality of love and praise
• celebration for all manly things, especially the man himself.

 

Designs may incorporate the official Manentine’s Day ‘Heart Tie’ logo and official colours, or be a completely new graphic, logo, or slogan. 

It is totally up to you!

Some concept ideas to get you started on your brainstorming session:

• The meaning of love, in a manly way! 
• The love for the man in the relationship and all manly things. 
• A positive image for Manentine’s Day. Why it’s important to celebrate, and brings equality to the relationship.

The winning designs will clearly illustrate The Spirit of Manentine’s Day, and should be age-less and classy. They will present a positive image of the holiday.
