​

What is this competition?

 

Wix and CreativeMornings have teamed up to celebrate our creative community.

 

Artists are invited to submit an image of an original piece of work. Judges from Wix and CreativeMornings will choose three winners. The winners will get a stunning online store (created on the Wix platform by our pro team) offering cool products printed with the winner’s art entry for sale. We’ll take care of production and delivery for the first 30 products sold and the winner will keep 100% of what they earn. Also, the website will be optimized for search engines like Google and promoted on Wix’s Facebook page.

 

While Wix covers the first 30 orders operationally (production to delivery), from the date the online store is made public, winners will be solely responsible for any regulatory issues, unique to their country of residence, that are associated with opening and operating an online business. These issues and fees may include but are not limited to filing with their country’s tax authorities, obtaining appropriate business licenses and/or permits, etc. It is each winner’s responsibility to ensure their online business operates within the legal parameters of their country of residence from the date their online store is made public.

​

I don’t have a Wix website. Can I still be a part of this competition?

 

Absolutely! And while we’re on the topic, you can create your own stunning website to showcase your art online. Start yours today with Wix. It’s easy and free!

​

​

I am not part of the CreativeMornings community, and/or have never attended one of their events. Can I still be a part of this competition?

​

Absolutely! Either way, you should definitely check them out. CreativeMornings is active in 157 cities worldwide and counting. If you don’t see your city listed, you’re even encouraged to start your own chapter and build a local community of like-minded creative individuals.

​

​

If I win, will I have input on how my online store will look and will I be able to make changes?

​

Once winners are selected, Wix designers will build each online store with the Wix platform. We’ll contact winners for a high resolution image of their art, any branding materials (such as a logo, if available) and limited input on the look and feel for the website.

 

When the online store is officially transferred over to the winner, winners will have complete freedom to customize their stunning online store.

​

​

If I win, what types of products will be sold in my online store? When will my online store be ready for people to view and make purchases?

​

Our talented winners will have their art printed on items such as cell phone cases, pillows, tote bags, hats, mugs, wall art, t-shirts, socks and other apparel. The online stores of the three winners will be made public on or before January 16th, 2017 and anyone can make purchases from this date.

 

Wix will cover the initial costs for building and operating the winning online stores on the Wix platform, but winners will be responsible for any taxes or regulatory issues related to the sale of products.

​

​

What happens after I sell my first 30 items? How long will my online store be available for people to make purchases?

​

After winners sell their first 30 products or after a three month period from the opening of their online store (whichever occurs first), Wix will transfer ownership of the online stores to the winners. Once this transfer has occurred, winners will be solely responsible for maintaining their online stores and paying any applicable fees associated with their Premium account (if they choose to keep their online stores active). Before transferring ownership, Wix will follow-up with the winners on how to maintain their newly created online stores and continue production of items with our white label company (if interested).

​

​

Will Wix help me promote my online store?

​

You bet! Each winner’s online store comes optimized for search engines like Google. Plus we’ll even share it on our Facebook account, reaching over three million followers.
