    Oh- and for the non-designers, if need be, you can just sketch an idea and we'll make it production ready if needed

    What pictures must be in the card? Does Fairway logo must be there? Or the Squirrel? Is there particular color must be there?

    If Yes can you upload the transparent image of Fairway and Squirrel (PNG or PSD file)? Thanks

    We have no specific requirement on what has to be included, just that the design you submit must be 100% your original work.

    Sorry about the late reply but we have indeed selected a winner. We're please to announce Kelly Toms as the winner of the card back design, and while we're not showing the image quite yet, you can bet it'll be a part of the next BIG update and we'll even have a mention of her in the credits!!!

    Thanks for the submissions everyone and stay tuned, we've got plenty more in the works and we're excited to share it with you soon!
