Slowwalk is a shoe brand aimed at a young audience trying to do something different. They come to call themselves as a brand urbanite that rejuvenates the classic design of the sneakers. Giving it a newer style. Now the brand launches a contest in which it invites you to participate. The Slowwalk contest tries to bring young creatives closer to your brand with new designs.
In their description they warn that their brand always has a green touch. As something differentiating from other brands. As you can see on its own website, it is a fact that cannot be escaped if you want to win.
Who is it for and what is its objective
In principle there are no limits of contestants. Anyone who wants to can participate, since for this reason they will not ask for any qualifications when you register for the Slowwalk contest. Whether you are a student, artist or individual, you can participate. This clashes with the controversial Metro Madrid contest that we wrote about the other day in Creativos Online. Unlike this is a private company, so it is not so debatable.
The aim of the Slowwalk contest is that a template can be freely customized. They provide it and you edit it. The shoe model is called Slowwalk Bones, which will be familiar to users of this brand. They will value the most creative input they consider. Among them, there are three categories:
- (1) Bones Man
- (2) Bones Woman
- (3) Unisex Bones
The only limitation Slowwalk requires is that only five designs per person may be presented. And in case of being a group of people, only one will write their name on behalf of the group. So the award will be divisible between the people included and the merit.
Presentation and deadline
The sketches can be made with analog tools (markers, pencils, etc.) as well as digital ones (see photoshop, illustrator). Reflecting the idea based on the downloadable template. The deadline will be from March 28 of this year to May 28, 2018. So, let's go!
And most importantly, what does the award consist of?
The winner of the Slowwalk contest is awarded a cash prize of one thousand euros (€ 1.000) and a round trip to Elche with the cost of diet and accommodation included. This will be to see the factory and its process of how they will make the winner's shoes. The winner will have this reward, but it does not mean that they are the only one.
There will be 8 more mentions for people who have also had an interesting design, but not a winner. These will be without economic amount, but at least a recognition. (It never hurts for a resume).
In addition, the designs of those mentioned will be put on sale as exclusive designs. Thus, the authority of the designs is reflected to each of the winners. And in this case you will have a size for you so that you can represent yourself on the street. Although the remaining mentions do not require a mandatory manufacture for the company. This right is reserved in the event that the shoe is not to the taste or aesthetic that the company seeks.
Contest rules
It is important for all types of competition to read the bases of the same. Although they can sometimes be difficult to read due to the number of points, It is interesting to keep them in mind in case we need to claim any fact. Here are the most important points that you should read:

As Pablo specified. «This clashes with the controversial Metro Madrid contest that we wrote about the other day in Creativos Online» If we read that article, we are talking about that, again, “controversial” topic. So it's not that we support, but from Creativos, we know that there are many people dedicated to design professionally who read our articles. Therefore, it is important that this community finds out about these contests as well. And use them as per your convenience. This is not advertising content, since no one pays us for it. It is mere information. Sometimes it will be in the form of a tutorial and other times, more current content about the design. In this case it is like that. We do not position ourselves. Advertising is located at the bottom of the page for sponsors who want to include a banner on the website. Greetings Pablo!
