“Fettuccine” is a yummy gummy that is very popular in Japan - it is thin, long, flat and square-shaped, just like a small piece of fettuccine. It comes in 4 fruity flavors – peach, green apple, grape and lemon. The flavors taste authentic and are very fragrant. The gummy is covered in a light sugary coating with a hint of sourness to make it taste like real fruit. The texture is soft and tender but also chewy – almost like a perfectly cooked noodle. You can enjoy the fruity chewiness and soft juiciness at the same time, and the taste lingers even after you have finished.

Imagine that Fettuccine is going to be launched in your country… We need your help to make it known!

What do you think is the most unique and appealing aspect of the Fettucine gummy? Bring it to life with a vivid and exquisite print ad that introduces this gummy to people in your country.

We are sure you remember this Win From Within contest where Gatorade asked you to show them in a surprising video how Gatorade’s motto : “Win from within” can fit into the daily routine of anyone who does sports and wants to succeed.

It seems that you perfectly got the brand’s motto as Gatorade really liked your creations.

Now let’s check on the Gatorade’s winners:

1st Prize of 7,000€ goes to Landonson for Landon Donoho 

*I’m a freelance filmmaker working in film, music video, and ads. I love storytelling in it’s different forms and the plethora of media out there, and it’s exciting getting to be a part of that picture. * In the future, the goal is to eventually make narrative films that tell awesome stories. Mixed in with that, I’ll probably always love advertisements and music videos because they’re fast, fun, and a way to do the exact same thing in a much smaller span of time. They’re refreshing to work on and let you explore lots of realms aesthetically and conceptually you probably wouldn’t get to otherwise. It would be great to keep growing in to bigger projects with bigger ideas.

2nd Prize of 3,000€ goes to dreamcatcher for Ascend – Win from Within

Dreamcatcher did not share his comments with us for the moment.

3rd Prize of 1 600€ goes to yelena_vg for Gatorade video

As a motion graphics and commercials designer in the past, I now work primarily as a freelance photographer. For a while I have wanted to try out the video capabilites of my Canon 5D Mark II, so Gatorade was a perfect opportunity to do an experimental video mixed in with what I love most – motion graphics, plus an upcoming waterpolo match of my partner´s team straight away gave me a great idea. It is exciting to be able to work on fun briefs from well-known brands, to practice your ideas, skills etc, and on top of everything to have your work selected and win a contest – I am thrilled.  Thank you, Eyeka!

Thank you all for the great videos you made. See you soon!!

We are glad to introduce you to the winners of the Smirnoff Ice contest. Actually, this contest was quite fun and very interesting. Smirnoff Ice challenged you to imagine an exciting, original, great-tasting new flavour without forgetting to show them the feelings and sensations that it provokes when someone drinks it.

You all had great ideas for the brand and they finally picked 3 winning creation among all the impressive contents they got.

1st Prize of 3,500€ goes to AnnaNthang for Aurora: The essence of cold

“This is a great idea, very creative and innovative. Love the combination of colors.”

I really enjoyed this contest because of the flavor possibilities. I love to invent new flavors which are unique and never before tasted…I wanted to capture the brand in a bottle. If you could capture winter in a bottle, then you have the new Ice flavor. I hope to see this flavor on the market shelves, I would like to taste it! Thank you so much to Eyeka for providing us with challenging and original opportunities to work with the biggest brands in the world.

2nd Prize of 1,500€ goes to chintami for Smirnoff Ice Fireflies.

“It opens a new door for pack tech. At the same time it has a romantic feeling. Love it.“

Smirnoff Ice gives a unique impression for me, because I am a girl that’s not really expert in vodka experience, but when your imagination has gone wild no one can stop you, lol… regardless of any experiences, I think it is truly imagination which will take you everywhere . And being able to be one of the winner of this famous brand really makes me dazzled – Another thing to be happy about <3 <3 <3 . Thank you!

3rd Prize of  600€ goes to Gaetan_Uytterhaegen for his creation Fire&Ice

I’m a London-based advertising creative getting married this year so the prize money will be going straight into the wedding fund!

I’d like to thank Eyeka for their comprehensive yet uncomplicated approach to briefing creatives on competitions. A good brief makes all the difference when you know you won’t get the chance to discuss with the client before presenting work! So thanks again and look out for my next competition entry!

It’s May and it’s time to meet our Creator of the Month!
Let us introduce Shan Guowei a.k.a final3 from China, a talented animator who just joined eYeka 7 months ago but shows us amazing creativity and productivity in his animations: he has won 5 prizes so far! Let’s see what he said and learn his secret know-how to win in eYeka contests:

Hello all! My name is Shan Guowei, I am living in Beijing, China. I learnt animation in 2000 and started to create my animations in 2001, I have been working in several projects in animation studios of China Central Television, animation school of Beijing Film Academy etc as Art Director. Now I am working as a freelancer here.

I always wanted to participate in contests but I didn’t really have time while at work. Last year I tried to search online to see if there are online platforms with creative contests, eYeka is one of them among the results. I went through the eYeka website and found that there’s Chinese version with clear brief – which is very important to me as I don’t understand English -and the contest prize is pretty attractive! So I decided to participate.

I never doubted eYeka is fake –  if eYeka is fraud, the website will not exist for long so I totally trust it and decided to have a try

When we told him we were really impressed by his creativity – winning 5 prizes in eYeka animation contests within 6 months, he feels a bit shy and thinks he’s far from perfect, and he would like to share some thoughts about his winning secret:

First, you need to understand what the brand wants to see. You can do some research about the brand and make sure you understand the brand’s needs from the brief, then you can start to create your entry.

Second, think creatively and forget about the cliché, try to find more angles to express your ideas before creating, so your entry could stand out from the others.

When we asked what is his best inspiration, he thinks inspirations usually come from his daily life.

Take Comfort contest for example, when I was reading the contest brief, I thought of my wife and my mother immediately - their daily life, their characters, some special moments with them… so I recalled and took down all those special moments with my wife and started to create my animation. Inspiration really comes from everywhere,  you just need to pay attention and observe more.

eYeka is always interested in knowing how creators view us. So we also asked him this question. Here’s what he said to us:

I think eYeka provides great service: I like the brief here, very professional and clear, the people in eYeka shows respect to creators as well, I would like to take this opportunity to say “thank you”.

For the thing that could be improved… I guess it’s always a pity that we can’t view all the submissions in some of the contests, it will be great if we could learn from each other by viewing the entries, I believe we all have different ideas and viewing the creations from other creators is very good opportunity to improve ourselves.

I would also recommend to my fellow creators to participate in eYeka contests, don’t care too much about the prizes, but enjoy the whole creating process – you will feel less pressure and have more fun.

Thanks for your time, final3. We look forward to seeing more creative works from you in our future contests and wish you all the best
