Good morning! I saw the info about the design contest yesterday, but the questions thread never appeared so I thought I would start it so I could ask my question.
The contest details say that the winners' designs/artwork will become the property of the Sesame Street Store and that we give up all rights and interest to the art. We are not allowed to add a signature either. I am assuming that would include a subtle initial worked into the design? Will there be any kind of artist credit given in the description or anywhere, or are we creating a piece that will appear be attributed solely to Sesame Street?
The winners also receive 5% of the sale or royalty in addition to the $1,000 prize money. I need to check again. And it is a limited run in the Sesame Street store so it is not evergreen. It is still a cool opportunity, I just want artist credit somewhere too for the winner.
eta- also, we can't sell Sesame Street images anyway so any profit is more than zero on that particular design.
@HeatherI just wanted to bring attention to this thread since they get buried so quickly. 😬 Thanks in advance for any answer you can give.
Great! Thanks for clarifying. I'm excited to play around with characters I grew up with!
It doesn't have to be created in illustrator. I am going to use paint and paper to create my entry and then scan it to convert it to a digital file. You can use .ai or png. They just prefer the ai file.
If I were submitting a product I would put something like "Baby Shower for Sesame Street Contest" and just use that for title, description, and a tag.
You are welcome. Since it will be a direct only product in your shop, no one will see it to report it and it doesn't really matter what you use because Z will take care of adding the proper data when they add the products to the Sesame Street shop.
Have a great weekend as well!
