Personalise Your World with CorelDRAW® “That’s A Wrap!” Contest

30/09/10

Show off your CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 Design Skills and See Them Brought to Life with Corel’s “That’s A Wrap!” Contest

Today Corel Corporation launches a vinyl design contest entitled “That’s A Wrap!” to give participants the chance to win fantastic prizes worth over £2,000 (GBP).

To enter the contest participants need to use an existing version of CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5 or download a free 30-day trial version of the software available at http://www.corel.com or alternatively use the 30–day trial version available with Computer Arts magazine, issue 181 on sale the 21st of October.

Participants are invited to get creative and create a vinyl design that is reflective of themselves and their “world”. Corel has selected three categories for participants to enter:

1. Partial Wrapping: Vehicle wrapping is fast becoming a huge styling phenomenon, so why not create your very own eye-catching design. Entrants are invited to create a partial vehicle wrap by making use of one of 2,000 vehicle templates available in CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5, to find one that fits their vehicle. Add vector graphics or clipart to your design to make your vehicle stand out;

2. Wall Wrap: Use any of the creative vector illustration tools to create a vinyl wrap design for a wall in your home or office. This could be a scene of your favourite beach, a secret garden or anything which reflects yourself and your world;

3. Monument Wrap: Design a creative wrap for one of your favourite monuments or buildings. This could be ivy growing on the Big Ben in London or a car race on the BrooklynBridge. Your imagination is your only boundary!

Corel will provide a First, Second and Third Prize for each category.
The First Prize for the Partial Wrapping category is a vinyl wrap of the design created using the CorelDRAW vehicle templates; for the Wall Wrap the first prize is a professional print of the wall wrap and for the Monument Wrap, the first prize is a gift voucher of five hundred pounds (£500) to spend on Lastminute.com to put towards a trip to the city where the chosen monument is located.
The Second Prize for all categories is one year subscription to the English edition of Computer Arts magazine and a goodie bag of Corel products worth over £830 and includes CorelDRAW® Graphics Premium Suite X5, Corel®PaintShop Photo® Pro X3 Ultimate and Corel® VideoStudio® Pro X3.
