Do You Have What It Takes to Create Crazy Socks?
John’s Crazy Socks, the world’s largest sock store, has announced their second Annual Sock Design Contest. We want to make you Sock Famous. We will produce the winning sock design and make it available in our online store so people around the world can wear your socks.
Not only will the first-place winner have his or her socks produced and promoted by John’s Crazy Socks, but you will also receive a $1,000 cash prize and a dozen of the socks you design. In keeping with the mission at John’s Crazy Socks, we will donate 10 percent from the sale of the winning socks design to a charity partner and the winner will help us pick that charity partner.
Second and third-place winners will receive a John’s Crazy Socks gift certificate and prizes.
“I love socks because they are colorful, creative and always let me be me,” said John Cronin, co-founder and Chief Happiness Officer of John’s Crazy Socks. “I can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from our fans.”
“We love our customers and know they are highly creative. We want to see their most creative ideas. The contest is open to everyone – you need not be a professional designer, let us see your ideas for socks you would love,” said Mark Cronin, co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks.
Last year's winner, Sierra Sapack, designed a blue sock with hearts and a hand displaying the American Sign Language gesture for “I Love You.” Sierra’s socks have been a hit. The “I Love You” socks are available for purchase on the John’s Crazy Sock’s online store, with 10 percent of the sale going to The Lexington School for the Deaf.
