Pink For October: The Contest! (3x1)
October is the month of breast cancer awareness and we are very happy to promote this awareness all around the world. This year we want to make it fun and more active than ever … and we want all the community to participate too. So we have created Pink For October: The Contest! (3x1)
What does 3x1 mean?
It means that it is not only a contest but 3 contests in 1: Logo, content and front-end. That’s it. You can win up to 3 prizes!
I’ll give you the full set of rules below, but be aware of the dates to submit your entries … submit them in the right time frame, or else they will not be considered at all.

Contestants may enter in one, two or three categories. Each area will be judged independently and will have its own winner.
