We Want Your Art!
Customer Gallery Credit:
We are always
looking for art to display in our online Customer Gallery. Send us your stamped
art using Third Coast images, and for each piece of your work we display we'll
send you a $5.00 Gallery Gift Certificate
good toward your next Third Coast purchase. Your art may contain stamps from
other companies, however it must be composed primarily of Third Coast images, or
feature one of our images as the centerpiece. Your art will be returned only if
you request that we do so. Please feel free to send files of your scanned art
via e-mail, 150 to 300 dpi, JPG, GIF, or TIF formats work best. We prefer
that you list the source of other images in your work, but it is not mandatory.
Gallery + Technique Submission Credit:
When you send a detailed written technique of your creation for
publication to the Customer Gallery, we’ll give you a $10.00
Gallery + Technique Gift
Certificate.
Your technique must include a complete list of
supplies used in addition to a step-by-step method written in an easy to follow
manner.
Print Publication Credit:
If your work
using at least one Third Coast image is published in a major stamping or
stamping-related print publication, and we are credited in the publication, you
are entitled to a $20.00 Print Publication Gift
Certificate.
Digital Publication Credit:
If your work using
primarily Third Coast images is *permanently published on a **well-known
stamping or stamping-related website which is ***accessible by the general
public, and we are credited for the images on the website, you are entitled to a
$5.00 Digital Publication Gift Certificate.
Double Whammy!
If you have a piece published
in more than one place, you are eligible for BOTH credits! For example, if you
send us a stamped scene that we publish in our Customer Gallery, and it’s later
published in Rubber Stamp Madness, you are eligible for a $5.00 credit plus a
$20.00 credit.
To receive credit for your art published either in print publications or on
websites, you must draw them to our attention. We don’t always notice them or
have means to contact you. So speak up, and don’t be shy. We love seeing our
images published. We want to thank you and reward you!
Stamps we have provided at no charge in design team sponsorship situations
are not eligible for a Publication Credit. Only creations using stamps you
have purchased are counted.
Third Coast retains sole right to select or reject customer submissions, and
to determine if a given submission or publication meets our requirements for
receiving a gift certificate reward.
*Permanently published means the work was posted with the intent of remaining in
place indefinitely. Works published with the intent of being viewable for a
short duration are not eligible.
**Well-known means that the site is not obscure and has a high hit volume. We
retain the sole right to judge whether or not a given website is eligible.
***Accessible by the general public means the site and the posted piece can be
viewed by anyone. Membership-based sites are eligible, as long as anyone can
join for free, and membership is not limited in any way.)
This new policy is retro-active to January 1,
2006. These rules subject to change at any time.
