This month we celebrate the back-to-school season with our friends at Plum Print. Plum Print is the easy, super smart way to turn the piles and piles of artwork your children create (and perhaps you too!) into custom coffee-table books, digital archives, home décor and other gifts. This month, we’re partnering up to offer you great prizes for your fabulous weekly designs!
How it works: To participate, you’ll simply upload your design to Spoonflower, make it “public” and add in that week’s specific tag. Each week will have its own special tag, which is how participating designs will be found on Spoonflower.
August Prizes:
Each week, Plum Print will choose a favorite pick to receive a prize. No designer may be chosen twice in one month. There will also be random sweepstakes winners drawn at the end of the month who will win Spoonflower credit and their designs printed on Plum Print goodies. More to come on that next week so stay tuned! Each week’s winner will be announced the following Monday after the corresponding week’s theme.
Week 1: Pack of Plum Print Notecards featuring the winning design entry. Congrats to Cecilia Mok for winning this week!
How do you choose the themes? This month’s themes were chosen by Meg from Plum Print to celebrate the beginning of a new school year for the kiddos. We think you’ll love what she came up with! Here are August’s themes:

Happy Designing, we can’t wait to see what you create!
Love these themes as it will build a create collection. I can smell the crayons now.
Great collection not create lol.
How/when are the cut off dates for entering the challenges and weekly themes.
Hi there! You can enter anytime within the date range shown for each theme. So for Aug2016FavoriteSubject you can submit designs anytime until August 15.
When will we know who won this week’s design. I entered a ABC , tagged it and made public but I dont see anything up about which design won the weekly prompt. Thanks
The winner of the ABC / 123 was Cecilia Mok. We announce the winners on Facebook, Twitter, and here: https://blog.spoonflower.com/weekly-design-prompts/
Is there a way to see all the entries and a way to know that your entry was uploaded and entered correctly?
Just search for the tag on Spoonflower and the entries should come up! You may have to remove the “for sale” tag to see yours if it’s not for sale.
Hi there. Is it Ok to enter my design before the start date? I have my apple fabric ready and I’m expecting a baby any day now so I don’t want to miss the window. If I upload it before the 22nd will it still be a valid entry? Also is it OK to tag more than one fabric design or colour way that fits within the theme or is it limited to one entry? Thanks, Jiah
Yes you can absolutely enter your design before the start date, just tag the design appropriately and you’re good to go! For the weekly prompt designs, it’s perfectly fine to tag more than one design. Thanks for participating!
