Dribbble Invite Contest

I am glad to be on board—Short and sweet. I have been working with Chad and Andrew since last fall and its been a great partnership. These guys offer a wealth of knowledge and are fun to work with—I am incredibly excited to be part of the community.Part of my role with The Lab is to provide more content and assist in keeping the quality of this community consistent; while striving to make it better. You’ll notice a variety of new and different content in the future we hope will improve your designs and artistic sensibilities and keep you coming back to be part of, and engage in, what the Lab is brewing.

Wix

As a thanks for joining the team, we are offering a dribbble invite.

The dribbble community offers a lot to aspiring and veteran artists. A previous article I wrote on Inspiredology talks about dribbble’s infancy and the direction a newcomers role can play. You’re going to help push the dribbble community in new and positive directions. You are hardworking and dedicated, your designs will inspire and motive. Mere pixel pusher, no more. You are a player.

Here’s how to get drafted:

  • Leave a comment below with a link to your portfolio—this can be personal, professional, or both!
  • Follow me on twitter and tweet the phrase Inspired for a @dribbble invite! The Inspiredology lab has one: http://dert.ca/qHixh3

Dribbble is show & tell for creatives. Designers, developers and other creatives shareshots—small screenshots of the designs and applications they are working on.

Winner’s Grand Prize:

  • A dribbble invite to join the club!

We will make a decision on the 17th of August with an announcement of the winner on the August 19th Friday Fix. This should give you ample time to get some goodies online as well as complete any finishing touches on your latest. If you have any questions please feel free to post in the comments or send us a tweet and we will do our best to address. Thanks for competing and best of luck!

 

UPDATE #1: This contest is now CLOSED. We are currently finalizing our decision between all the great candidates. We thank everyone who participated, we will be announcing a winner on this Friday’s Fix (19th).

    Hey well i also want a dribble invite but im not here to get one infact im writing this since it comes more and more into my mind that this whole dribble invite is a pyramid system.
    You try to get as many followers as possible in hope you get your like button raped over the time.
    I see dribble as great platform to gather ideas and to see what is possible and ask others how they did stuff.
    But seeing that only poeple with a portfolio or a website are invited blows my mind.
    I also do digital design i dont say im the best in it but i try to get better.Personaly iam amazed by the inspiredology background of the webpage others may be not but i think it has quality.
    What iam trying to say is i would love to get an invite but not over begging or by pushing someone, you should be rewarded by skill not and therefore i kinda like this contest sort of.
    Anyway i wish everyone the best of luck to get an invite cya

    For years now I have cultivated my artistic awareness and technical skill in the realm of web and graphic design. Nevertheless I still have a tremendous amount to learn, and I can think of no better place for that to happen than in a community of skilled people whose passion for art and design rivals mine. I hope you can help me make this happen, and I look forward to your reply.

    

Thank you for your time and this opportunity.
