Do you have what it takes to design the helmet Mick Hannah will be wearing during his race runs at Crankworx? If so, Bell wants to see what you've got. Download the
vector graphic template for a Bell Full 9 helmet and create your own design, making sure to incorporate the Bell logo. When your masterpiece is finished, upload it into the Bell Blank Canvas photo category here on Pinkbike. The top five designs will be voted on by Pinkbike viewers and announced on July 22, 2013.
All of the finalists will get a Bell Full 9 for their efforts. From the five finalists, the grand prize winner will be chosen by Pinkbike, Bell, and Mick Hannah. This winner will see their artwork worn by Mick Hannah at Crankworx, and will also receive a custom painted helmet of their own. The helmets will be painted by Airtrix.

This means that BELL will be using the winning submission for the 2 helmets produced (one for Mick and one for the winner) as well as the photography of the helmet that will be used to promote the winning graphic and that BELL WILL NOT use it for an inline graphic without working with the artist first.Enter Now: Blank Canvas Contest DetailsThe submission deadline for designs is July 19th, 2013.
This is some shitty term of use. It mean that even if you aren't a finalist, they can use your design and have full right ont it, without mentionning your name, without paying you.
This kind of contest is great for them, they'll get plenty of free design, and all they'll have to pay is 5 helmets.
This kind of contest is destroying the profession of graphism. Sad.

A little off topic: Just because something is free does not mean it loses value or has no value. Take a read over at techdirt.com. Did Trent Reznor lose the value of the album 'The Slip' when he gave it away for free? Nope. He sold limited edition box sets, vinyl, and other things and made more money doing that than selling singles.

come on guys, people have put so much effort into most of these artworks there, this can´t be the way to choose the sweetest design.
please guys if the choice is supposed to be made tomorrow, you should open up a public voting very very soon!

After that, what's wrong with pens and a scanner? The final image has to be uploaded to Pinkbike anyway, so you won't be uploading .ai files anyway.
