I've teamed up with my pals Izzy of The Dandy Project and Giuliano of Holy to bring you a very exciting project! The concept is a sort of... brotherhood of the traveling DIYs. Basically, we'll each create a DIY project with instructions and send the finished project to another blogger. We'll each do an outfit post highlighting the DIY piece we received. But, here's where you come in! We're looking to include other menswear fashion bloggers. Think you fit the bill? The rules & how to apply are all listed below! Looking forward to seeing your submissions.
1. Contestants may apply by tweeting and/or Instagramming to all three of us (@thedandyproject, @HOLY_SPICE, @pullteeth) a link to or a picture of a DIY project that best describes their style and skills AND one reason why they should be part of this collaboration. All contestants must have an existing blog online. Submission period is 2 weeks from start date of January 16th-29th, 2013.
2. The three judges deliberate and decide which blogger(s) get to be part of the collaboration, and who they DIY for/who DIY's their piece.
3. Each winning contestant shall create a DIY men's fashion item according to the brief, and ship it to the blogger he is assigned to.
4. Each winning contestant will receive a DIY men's fashion item from a blogger assigned to him, and shall photograph himself in an outfit post featuring the DIY piece he received. Dialogue and collaboration between creator and recipient is highly encouraged!
5. When all the pieces have been created and photographed, the three judges will set a time when all posts will be synchronized to go live. Each winning contestant's post must feature: (1) the DIY process of the item he created (2) a photograph of the item styled on the blogger who received the item he created (3) a graphic featuring all DIYed outfits of all bloggers involved (4) links to all blogs involved.
6. This is a non-compensated, not-for-profit project. Creative collaboration is encouraged, and the discovery and support of new talent is the goal.
Here they are! The goodies for my H&M Fashion Against Aids contest. Not a bad haul, is it? If you got in for part one of my contest then great, but if not, this is last your chance. I was deciding if I should make the contest hard or not but I figure blog contests can sometimes be the worst. I'm not going to make you follow me on Blogger, Twitter, Facebook, Blog Lovin', annnnd every other social media outlet imaginable. Since the inspiration for the collection is music festivals I figured it would be fun to have you..
Comment here with your favorite music festival/concert experience.
That's it. That's all.
The contest will close this coming Saturday, April 21st @ Midnight so make sure to get your comment in by then. Leave me your name and email so I know where to contact you if you're the lucky winner.
Also, if you already entered the first part of my contest, feel free to enter this part as well.
PS: Please make sure to go and upload your kiss photo on the official Fashion Against Aids website. For each photo H&M is donating $1 to Aids Prevention! Important stuff!
Contest now closed!! Winner will be announced shortly!
Good news, everyone! I'm teaming up with H&M for their upcoming Fashion Against Aids line. "How is this going to affect me" you may wonder. Well, it's easy. H&M is providing me with accessories from the new collection to give away to one of my beautiful, incredible, amazing readers. Yes, that means you. The contest is going to run in two parts, the first comes with an added perk. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Comment on this post with your email address & name (even under anonymous)
2. Wait for me to send you an exclusive invite to the H&M Fashion Against Aids micro site
3. That's it! Easy peasy.
The micro site is a fun, easy way to spread awareness & raise money for aids research and prevention. The concept is simple. Upload a photo of yourself kissing someone else. (Think girlfriend, boyfriend, mom, cousin, best friend, pet, stranger, tree... anyone!!) H&M will graciously donate $1 to aids prevention for every photo uploaded. How easy is that?! The site doesn't launch to the public until April 5th, so this is the real business. Exclusive stuff for my readers. Gotta love it.
Like I said, this is just phase one of the contest. Shortly, I am going to do a full on contest and I will be closing this one. Perhaps think of this as a pre-contest that is incredibly easy, plus gives you the added bonus of entry into micro site before annnnnybody else. Pretty cool. Who knows, I might even make part two of the contest extremely difficult, so this might be your only opportunity to enter if you're lazy like me. (Okay, I probably won't.. but you get the point)
Who doesn't love free stuff? Enter nooooow for your chance to win a mystery bag of accessories from H&M!
May the odds be ever in your favor...
Part one of the contest is now CLOSED! Stay tuned for Part 2(including photos of the prizes!! omgggggg)
