2020 Patch Contest Entries
Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2019 5:40 pmAs you all have been able to read in the thread about the patch project, we are doing only 2 or maybe 3 patches and then it will be done. These rules may need to be tweaked for the change. I am sure I will hear if that is needed. 
Remember to send your ideas in a pm to emwcee.
Hello fellow Iditabuds!
It’s time to start submitting your design or design idea(s) for our 2020 patch covering the southern and northern route checkpoints!
Deadline will be soon, maybe 2 weeks. Need to 'talk' with other mods.
OK the mods agree that 2 weeks is the limit for the contest.
Dead line to enter is November 14 midnight Alaskan time.
You don't even have to be an artist to submit a design or idea. Our patch company is great at producing the image you want from even rudimentary sketches and descriptive ideas. You could even use photos to give yourself ideas, be sure it's not a copyrighted one
The only things we REQUIRE someplace on the patch design, is:
1. The Year – “2020”
2. Now that we are no longer under the BSSD, we will drop those letters. Since Johncn named us iditabuds.com we should put that on the patch.
"iditabuds.com mushing forum"
3. The name of the Checkpoint. Now we are changing this year and it has been suggested to put Iditarod Checkpoint on the patch.
The patch will show the northern and the southern routes
Please read this thread if you haven't already done so.

4. Patch Company allows us 6 colors in our price range, so try to stick to 6 colors.
If you can include even a rough sketch of what you have in mind for your design, we can work with that. Just make it clear what you envision with a good description. The only rules of thumb to remember are to not make the design too busy with too many things, and not to have very small details, as very small things are lost in stitching process.
Once again emwcee has agreed to be the person we send our ideas and drawings/sketches to for the contest. Send them to her by PM. She will post them in a poll, we will vote and then em lets us know who the winner is for 2020. Thank you emwcee.
Dead line November 14 midnight AK time
