Here's the nitty......

Submitting a winning work of art is simple, as long as you follow these instructions:
- Visit the ModCloth Contest Page
- Click on the 'Submit an Entry' tab.
- Upload your graphic between 6pm ET on 5/2/11 and 6pm ET 5/10/11. Tell us a bit about your design in the caption.
- Get your friends and family to vote for your entry by leaving a comment under your design. Voting will occur for the duration of the contest,
so enter early - the sooner you submit your work, the more time you have to gather votes!
- Voters may comment on your design as many times as they'd like, but only the first comment will count as a vote. People may also vote for more than one entry.
- The top five vote-fetching configurations will be filtered out and sent to our celebrity judges, Twinkie Chan, Susie Gharemani, and Badge Bomb - who
will pick one final winner. The winner will be announced on Facebook on 5/12/11.
But before you begin bustin' out your beautiful objet d'art, please keep these key points fresh in your mind:
- You must design a 1-inch button with a .25 inch bleed.
- Your file must not exceed 5MB, and it must have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
- There's no theme for this contest, but your entry should reflect the spirit of ModCloth.
When designing, remember that even though your submission will be square, what you actually want to see on the face of the button will
need to fit within a circle. You can see an illustration of what we mean by visiting the Vote Tab.
If selected to win, you'll be asked to send us your design with the artwork in the templates
available for download on our Artwork Guidelines Page.
Lastly, we know it probably goes without saying, since our customers are such fine, upstanding individuals, but by entering this contest,
you pinky swear that you are the creator and rightful owner of the artwork. You also assure us that your participation in and submission of art to the
contest does not violate the rights of or contracts made with any third party, and that ModCloth and Badge Bomb have permission to manufacture and promote your button design.
We can't wait to see all the cool things you come up with.
Good luck, and happy designing!
