——————-
(For those of you who are new to Zazzle Contests (beta!), make sure you read the About Zazzle Contests section.)
As Mother’s Day approaches, we’re looking for the best designs that say ‘thank you’ to mothers, for all of the wonderful things that they do. We should really be giving thanks year-round (I mean, consider all of the diapers they changed when you were a baby!) but at the very least, we can make this Mother’s Day extra special. The sky is the limit in terms of what product you choose and what type of design you make, the only requirement is that it symbolizes thanks to mom.
Prize:
The winner of the the best design gets to spoil Mom rotten this year… it’s time to make up for all of those hand-drawn stick figures, stardard ol’ cards, and the times when you forgot to get her anything (yeah, we know you did):
- $1,000.00 USD – COLD HARD CASH: whatever you want to do with it (we suggest giving her a whole weekend at the spa… or a night on the town with limo transportation)
- Spoil Me Spa Tower: ala 1-800 FLOWERS ($159.99 value)… from chocolate truffles to green tea bath salts, this thing is off the hook!
- Top-of-the-Line Framed Print: You can go bonkers using our media and framing options to create a family portrait that will last for generations to come. Do whatever you want for options, all the way up to $500. We suggest using a family photo, the Gloss Canvas UV media (it’s archival quality, meaning there’s literally no degradation after 100 years), and framing/matting options galore. Using Zazzle’s tools you can easily create something like the following (the images within the frames are just example placeholders):
(note: these three products are not eligible for entry in the contest)
How to Enter:
Submission deadline is 11:59 PM (PST) on May 7, 2007.
- Create your design and place it on a product (can be any product type … t-shirts, mugs, posters, stamps, you decide!). Make your product.
- Publish your product to the Zazzle marketplace with the tag “MothersDayContest2007” (find out how to tag your product). If you have already published your design prior to April 27, simply tag it “MothersDayContest2007” to submit it.
- You’re almost done! To give yourself added publicity, don’t forget to leave a comment below with a link to the product page of your entry.
IMPORTANT: You may only enter one design (on one product) to the contest. You may NOT enter the same design on multiple products and you may NOT enter multiple designs. If you do, only your first entry will be eligible to win. View the contest rules.
How is the winner selected?
- Once your product is in the Zazzle marketplace, other users will be able to rate it, view it, comment on it and also buy it. All of these factors will be used to determine the top 25 entries from which an internal Zazzle judging panel will select the ultimate winner. This means that you should tell your friends and family about your entry and encourage them to show their support by rating it, leaving a comment or buying the product … the more visibility you get, the better your chances to win!
- Note to International Users: Due to contest rules, only entries from individuals within the US are eligible to win the prize. We absolutely accept and appreciate all entries from *around the world* to celebrate Mother’s Day and every entry will be included in the Mother’s

Since you’re not able to legally award prizes to overseas winners, would you be able to give them Zazzle cash/coupons (applied to their earnings, maybe?) that they could use toward Zazzle purchases?
Just wondering!

My mom is dead, however I still celebrate mothers day. I celebrate her memory and the love tht I have for her.

Shame the initial level judging is based on number of views, comments and ratings. All three methods are easily manipulated. Good luck to the artists who don’t have “ballot stuffers.”
April 28, 2007 at 11:56 pm |
i agree with Totallypainted about the international artists.

Hi Clara, thank you for sharing this feedback. I wanted to allay some of your concern … we take community ratings/comments abuse very seriously and we are taking a number of steps to ensure that it is *unique* people making these ratings, comments, etc. across the marketplace. Your concern is important to us though and any additional feedback/suggestions you might have would be much appreciated! Please send them to feedback@zazzle.com.

Hello!
My Mother’s Day Contest entry is located at: http://www.zazzle.com/chatao/product/137117725952477576
This card is for every woman who has been a mother figure to someone who is not her natural child. Blessings on these wonderful women who selflessly gave of themselves to make a difference in a life. I am thankful for all the women who have loved and mentored me! Happy Mother’s Day!
May 1, 2007 at 3:51 pm |
My entry is a greeting card called “Mother Knows Best”. I was inspired by all of the things that my mom told me again and again. And again.

On the front it says “A Mother’s Love…” and on the inside it says “Is always in bloom. Thanks for always being there Mom.” Good Luck to everyone, I have been voting 5 stars to all the new ones that come it, any card or product devoted to Mom deserves 5 stars!!

Wow. I didn’t notice until now how many people have posted comments here!
I put my entry up yesterday. It’s simple, yet I thinks it says alot. It’s a sepia toned photo of a mother and child looking out the window at a passing train. I left the rest blank because I think that works best with it. It gives people a blank slate to write, in their own words, what they are thinking. I’ve browsed through the other entries and I think they are really great! I wish the best to everyone! Happy Mothers day to all of you wonderful moms out there!
May 2, 2007 at 8:40 am |
I’m not sure about the rest of you, but our pup Collin is just another kid to our mom. To her, he is her son and of course my brother. (My digging in dirt, romping in mud, always happy to see you brother) So my entry reflects the love and humor that comes when having a four-legged, furry addition to the family. Happy Mother’s Day mom and good luck to everyone.

The design expresses some of the most common things that moms do or have done for us that
sometimes don’t get a thank you. This design I hope will convey
how much we do appreciate the little things- plus perhaps also thank her
for her style and desire to enjoy life -as it should be! Happy Mother”s Day to all and THANK YOU!

What a brilliant idea totallypainted had .. ( Since you’re not able to legally award prizes to overseas winners, would you be able to give them Zazzle cash/coupons (applied to their earnings, maybe?) that they could use toward Zazzle purchases? )
I don’t have a mum… . but I do have the best woman in the world who has taught me so much and has been there for me through a lot … treats me as if I were her son … you know the old saying .. you cant pick your family .. well you can
I wish you all good luck in the contest … any mother would love to receive any of these designs

This design is from one of my original paintings. The painting sold a few months ago but I felt the image was appropriate for Mother’s Day and I hope it expresses my thanks to my mom for raising 4 kids and keeping us safe until we were “Ready to Fly” on our own.

This is my design. I know it doesnt really looks as though it’s a real Mother’s Day kind of gift. Well, my mom isnt like other moms. She loves Dragonflies and they are very symbolic to her, and so I added two dragonflies on a shirt as a symbol of “like mother, like daughter.”

Well – the winner gets announced today! Good luck to everyone!! Does anyone know where we are supposed to look to see who won? I suppose they will email us. Thanks so much for all the votes on my Mother’s Day card, I sold 4 of them so thank you to everyone who purchased and I hope your Mom really loves my card, it was made with love. The photo was taken in Baja, Mexico this last October, it was a 25th anniversary trip gift for my Parents from my husband and I, that is why I chose that photo, because it is special to my Mom. I bought one for her before I entered it in the contest.
