OGA 2010 Geocoin Design Contest!

Postby Luc_n_Sweety » Sun Jan 17, 2010 11:21 am

Its that time again. OGA is opening up a design contest for the new 2010 OGA Geocoin.

Like last year, we will accept submissions until the end of February and then we will post all the design ideas for everyone to vote on. Once a winning design is voted on, we will put the coin into production. The winning designer will receive a one of a kind version of their coin. You may submit as many entries as you wish.

Please email designs to president@ontgeocaching.com.

Thanks for letting us know about this opportunity Luc_n_Sweety! From our previous KAG geocoin designs, I know that there are some creative people amongst the members of KAG.

I'll copy and 'sticky' this in the announcement section so people will take note of it.
Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

I've seen the 2009 OGA coin, is that the only one there has been so far? If not where can I find pictures of the other coins?
Also are there any specifics about the coin design? Things that must be included in the design or is it and open free-for-all contest?

The coins are up for voting, http://forums.ontgeocaching.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=500
Haven't figured out how to vote yet, I just made an account thinking you have to be signed in to vote.

My submission is the first one (the hand-drawn trillium shaped one) ran out of time so its just hand drawn.

Had a little spare time so I made a computer version of my coin. You can see a bigger version if you click on it.

Those coins look nice Megan, is there anyway you can send the computer generated copy for voting as I think they are about the nicest design on the page.
Cheers

I sent the computer version by email to the OGA pres on thursday and still have heard nothing back. The voting system has been down since March 6th, so I'm really not sure where the contest is at right now...

Latest update to the cointest:


Luc says: Vote is now even on 2 coin designs, pending confirmation of OGA membership status. Please post your signup name when voting. It's a heckuva lot of trouble to go through the membership list through e-mail signup, or searching through current e-mail for you. I have at least a dozen votes not counted because I can't figure out who you are.
