Spoonflower Presents
The Cozy Reading
Design Challenge
Gear up for winter hibernation reads (or beach reads in the Southern Hemisphere!) with a design that celebrates all the warm and cozy vibes we love about reading.
Overview
The more time we spend in front of screens, the more we crave snuggling up with a cozy paper book and leaning hard into hygge. Feel free to incorporate blankets, tea, and any other design elements that will set the mood for literary leisure. Journals, newspapers, and magazines welcome, too!
Prizes
- 1st place winner will receive a $200 Spoonflower credit.
- 2nd place winner will receive a $100 Spoonflower credit.
- 3rd place winner will receive a $50 Spoonflower credit.
