The best Christmas emails of 2007 - seriously good prizes up for grabs!

Back in October Mat announced that we'd be running our annual Christmas design competition again this year. Well, the time is certainly upon us and we've already seen some crackers being sent through our pipes the last few weeks.

This year we've decided to up the ante a little on the prize front, so here's what you'll have a chance to win if the Freshview team vote your Christmas email design the pick of the bunch...

  1. An iPhone (or an iPod touch if you don't live in a country where it's available)
  2. A $100 Threadless voucher (wait 'til they have a sale on and that's 10 very cool t-shirts)
  3. 50,000 Campaign Monitor email credits (that's $500 worth)

We'll also have some cool prizes for any of you that get an honorable mention. I realize most of you have probably sent your quota of Christmas emails already this week, but we've been keeping a very close eye on every email we've delivered the past few weeks. We've already spotted some cracking designs, and are looking forward to what we might see over the next few days.

For that last hit of design inspiration, check out our previous winners for 2006 and for Christmas 2005. For Christmas and holiday related imagery iStockPhoto is always a good option, as is stock.xchng.

We'll be announcing the winners here in the blog some time mid-January. Good luck!

    Is there anything in particular that needs to be done to enter the compo?

    I guess you simply have to use the Campaign Monitor service to send an email, and the chaps will choose the winners automagically.

    Though if it’s possible to enter by submitting an email thats not sent via CM, that would be cool cos we don’t use it (sadly, I have to say).

    Sorry guys, I should have made that one clearer in the post. There’s nothing you have to do to enter, we check all outgoing email anyway and will shortlist our favorites. The entire Freshview team will then be picking a winner next month.

    There is only one condition though, you’ll need to send it with Campaign Monitor to be eligible (sorry deadfrog).

    Yes, you do need to use Campaign Monitor to send your email, and we’ll particularly be looking for Christmas emails that are well designed to the constraints and capabilities of email.

    Are emails sent with MailBuild included in the contest?

    Unfortunately not sorry Rene, this is open to emails delivered in Campaign Monitor only. Having said that, if you send something you think is worth highlighting via MailBuild, we can always feature it on the MailBuild template gallery.
