To celebrate the Companies 30th birthday, Roland inaugurated its first international design contest, drawing hundreds of entries since its launch date in September last year. Roland DG Sydney says customers worldwide now have until January 29, 2012 to showcase their work and compete for thousands in prizes, including a trip to Japan and the Roland device of their choice.
Roland DG management comment that, such has been the popularity of the contest which has received more than 570 entries since its launch on September 21, 2011, they have been forced to extend the deadline for entry.
“This contest has truly been one of the highlights of the year for us,” said John Wall sales director at Roland DG Australia. “We are getting such a wide variety of entries, from wall murals to vehicle wraps and even Lego figurine decals produced on the new VersaStudio BN-20, and each entry is so imaginative. We invite everyone to visit the site and vote for their favorites.”
Although the creative awards are open to all Roland equipment users in Australia, entries will be judged based on creativity, innovation and execution in each of 14 regions representing 123 countries with more than 75 prizes are being awarded worldwide, including:
• Monthly People’s Choice Awards - This award recognises one top entry per region each month, as voted by site visitors.
• Honourable Mention Awards - Honourable mention will be named in each region with prizes varying by region.
• Regional Winner - Regional winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip for two to Japan to celebrate 30 years with Roland DG and compete for the global grand prize in April 2012.
• Worldwide Grand Prize - The contest’s top entrant worldwide will win his or her choice of a Roland machine - a VersaCAMM VS series 42” printer/cutter, an EGX-360 gift engraver, a JWX-30 jewellery model maker or an MDX-40A milling machine.
