Hi, would you share the criteria for winner selection. I saw smileboxes that were featured in your newsletter(& submitted for the contest) that were cuter than some of the winners chosen. Thanks!
Nosyrosysweetpea,
Our winners were selected based on those that most represented the spirit of the holidays by a panel of independent judges. You’re right! Judging a Smilebox is very subjective as we all have our own opinions of beauty, creativity and expression. And we had a very difficult time choosing from all the amazing entries! Look for more contests this Spring with a new and different set of judging criteria. And, as always, we would love to hear any suggestions or ideas you have for contests!
hi! i’m from the Philippines and a beginner in Smilebox. i’m just too ecstatic with the creations i made through your designs. i simply wanna savour all the basic designs you have coz i know it’s impossible for me to become a member– though i am thinking what it’s like to see all your designs which kept private to members who subscribed. then again, i am looking forward of joining your contest and please let me know when will this be and if other countries may join like the Philippines
Having to see my pictures posted in your website is more than enough for me to take pride and be very happy about. i must say, i fell in love with your website the moment i discovered it. i’m definitely hooked. more power to your staff! you’re all truly amazing!
