Welcome to our first design challenge! We are hoping to meet hundreds of artists to help us share more sentiments and appreciation all over the world together!
These digital cards will be used to spread holiday cheer in the office, from businesses to clients, and among family and friends. We recommend focusing on quality over quantity. We encourage you to take risks, try new things, and submit a diversity of work that differentiates itself from what we currently offer.
The holiday season is one of the most exciting occasions during the year here at GroupGreeting. A winning entry can earn you a freelance contract role on our artist roster!
