Announcing The First Annual UniKeep Design Awards
Design a Cool Cover for a UniKeep View Case Binder to Win

Columbus, OH — June 16, 2003 — UniKeep LLC, manufacturer of the award winning View Case Binder TM has recently launched the “UniKeep Design Awards” a fun and creative way to say thank you to the rapidly growing number of loyal users. Contestants can create and submit a custom cover design for one of the many sizes of UniKeep binders. Entries are to be submitted in one of five categories to be eligible to win monthly cash prizes, and the first 50 entries per month will receive a product prize too!

How does the UniKeep contest work? From July 1 through December 31, 2003, the UniKeep website, www.unikeep.com will feature all the information needed to enter original art online in one of five design categories. Entrants 13 years or older can enter multiple designs, but only in one category per design and no purchase is necessary.

Links to all online entries will be posted in the UniKeep Gallery for the public to view and access for ersonal use. The monthly award will be $100 to each category winner and at the end of the contest, 1,000 will be awarded to each overall "Best of Category" and $2,000 will be awarded to the “Best of Show”.

It’s easy to customize UniKeep binders by placing artwork under the clear poly overlay. Users can stack and store countless combinations of paper, media and other items in UniKeep binders. This one-of-a kind contest will also provide other UniKeep users ideas for their customized binder cover esigns.

" I thought it was about time we had some fun with UniKeep. Many customers have sent us covers they have designed for the binder and frankly we were impressed. So we thought let’s create a contest and really see the talent that is out there, as well as create the largest library of bindercover designs available. It was hard limiting the categories to five, but we tried to make them wide reaching,” said Ross Youngs, Inventor & Managing Partner for UniKeep.

Categories available include:

  • Arts & entertainment - Anything related to creating, distributing, promoting or displaying forms of artistic expression: photo albums, portfolios, scripts, sheet music, recorded music or videos.
  • Business & professional - Covers designed for work uses. Including presentations, reports, archives, personal record keeping, marketing and sales materials or business publications.
  • Education - Designs for school or teaching. Includes school reports, memory books, homework, notebooks, records, project presentations, teaching plans or school publications.
  • Sports - Big league to little league, anything sports-related goes here. Includes record books, rulebooks, playbooks, stats, memory books or team rosters.
