Flipshake

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay in posting this one. Once again we got some great Flips for this contest and it was another tough decision, but here are the finalists. Congratulations and great job!

First Place

Second Place

Third Place

So there you go! A big congratulations to the winners and a big thanks to everyone who participated and submitted such great Flips!

Hey guys. We’ve just launched our first Flip Stack: Beto Cuevas – Miedo Escénico. Beto is a great latin rock singer and he’s giving away a personal AOL video chat serenade to a lucky fan.

In order to win, you need to collect all six Flips in his Stack. Now, unlike other Flips you’ve seen on Flipshake so far, these Flips are collected on different websites around the net. You start by collecting the first Flip and when you Flip it over you’ll get a link and clue to where you find the next one. It’s a Flip scavenger hunt! When you’ve collected all six, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win the video chat with Beto!

Check out the stack here: http://www.flipshake.com/stack/BetoCuevas

Be sure to follow the Beto Stack on Twitter at betoflipshake for more updates and info too!

Have fun hunting down those Flips.

Lenses focus, eyes focus, minds focus. Earthquakes have a focus point. How do you focus? What are you focused on? That’s what we’re looking for in our latest contest. Submit awesome Flips representing “focus” and win this brand new Canon Digital XSi DSLR – with auto focus! Just in case you have a hard time focussing.

In case you’re wondering, all forms of submissions are acceptable including photography, illustration or any other way you’d like to express your creativity.

To enter a Flip into the contest, choose this Set (Contest #5: Focus) upon submitting your Flip. We will be judging Flips on the creative integration of both sides of a Flip, the Flip’s collection percentage, the creative interpretation of the theme, technical skill, and originality.

This was far and away our best contest yet and you guys created a bunch of amazing Flips. Everyone was really creative and that resulted in a wide range of interpretations to the theme “Alive”. The bad parts was that it was a really tough contest to judge. In the end we had to pick three winners, but we could have easily picked a lot more. Still, the three Flips that did win really stood out. So with out further ado, here they are!

You can check them out here. 

So here are a couple of images of the box in case you need a little more motivation. The thing looks sweet. Wish I could keep it :)

Good luck to everyone!

It’s time for our next contest! Better yet, this time we’re finally giving away that awesome Wacom Cintiq 12WX we’ve told you about, along with some other great prizes.

The theme of this contest is “Alive”. What does it mean to be Alive? What does the word “Alive” bring to your mind. More importantly how can you represent “Alive” on both sides of a Flip?

You can submit as many entries as you like and entries will be judged on the creative integration of both sides of a Flip, the Flip’s collection percentage, the creative interpretation of the theme, technical skill, and originality. We also strongly encourage you to write good descriptions for your Flips when submitting them as it can help boost it’s chances during the judging process! There will also be prizes awarded for first, second, and third place.

The submission deadline for “Alive” is January 31st, so go and get Flip making! Artists, photographers, illustrators, designers, 3D modelers –  let’s see what great Flips you can make come Alive!
