It’s time for Motif’s annual tattoo contest. We’d love to have you participate. Please get back to us at admin@motifri.com by Wednesday, January 17
We will put the images online in a survey and expect over 1,000 voters (or more!), based on last year. We will also have critic’s choices this year, selected by a small panel of local artists. We expect voting to end on Feb 7th, and it will be limited to one vote per IP address. Winners will be announced in our annual, collectible tattoo issue, which hits the streets on February 15th. Please limit submissions to one per artist per category. Not all submissions may make the voting, depending on how many we get.
