OVERVIEW

It’s almost time to bring on the holiday cheer, and customers will be coming to Minted in search of standout wrapping solutions. We’re excited to source fresh, holiday themed repeating patterns with a primary focus on wrapping paper and gift bags for the upcoming gifting season. We’re looking for a wide range of styles and can’t wait to see your creativity come to life.

Important Notes

Submission limit: 10 total submissions. There is no CMYK Category for this challenge.

We plan to select approximately 40 designs celebrating winter occasions (Christmas and general holiday).

We are looking for submissions for wrapping paper (foil and non-foil) and gift bags in horizontal and portrait (foil and non-foil)

NOTE: Your artwork will be considered for many products in addition to the one you choose to submit to the challenge and it is not guaranteed that your design will be necessarily selected in the form factor you submit it on. You may submit the same artwork on more than one template, scaling the artwork to what you think is appropriate for the product. If your artwork is chosen for multiple products, it will be counted as one win and will receive one prize payment.

The wisdom of crowds.

Who decides which artists get into the Minted collection? You do. Our design challenges are voted on by our users and winners are picked to be sold on Minted.com
