Help me win a design contest

Hello, dear xltronics.

I made it to the finals in an unofficial Saab ad contest,
with more than 500 entries, so I already feel like a winner!
BUT, there are some cash prices, so if you like my ad, I'd
be very very happy if you voted for it.

Saab contest, mine is #13, at the bottom.

Thanks in advance, I'll keep you updated!

i vote for you, it beats the shit out of the cmpetetors.
sent a link of your images to a fellow print designer too
last month, cause i dig your designs.
ehm.. would you donate a little from your prize money to
an environment fund when you win?

I am not surprised, cos yours is excellent and the others

in your advertisement?

done. still in the lead (26%, 184 Votes)

yours genuinely stands out amongst the rest. every other one
just looks like the average car ad i'd not take a second
glance at.

the other designs are pretty lame but saab is only 3
letters?

Thank you so much for the support!

Wow, yeah, looks really good at the moment, did not expect
to be in the top entries, but I guess people like it because
it doesn't resemble the other ads at all and don't even
display a car.

I will not win a car, unfortunately. There is some cash to
be won, on the other hand. And some vouchers. And some
fudge.

congs viktor !! its easy to tell you will win, because of
girls vs boys. in a young school kids classrrom with some
sort of "election" if there is for example 2 girls running
and 1 boy the boy will win because the boys in the class
will tend toward voting the boy and the girls vote is become
split. with this there is 12 "girls" (white ads which all
look basicly exactly the same) a 1 "boy" yours so even if
there were a lot more then 1/2 girls in the class youd still
win!!!!

SAAB:
Do not SOB (or is it pronounced sab, aw fuck it) when we
charge you 65$ for installing a 3 cent cr2032 battery in
your remote control, though its probably renamed to
something like SAAB32, just to trick you and lock you into
buying our brand even though normal batteries would work
just as well, probably even better.
SAAB, we don't discriminate against gays anymore!
Hey everyone I know, we'll have an advertising campaign
disguised as a contest. Think of all the backlinks pointing
to us as all those poor peasants compete to win A PRIZE,
lol. Just give 1% of the money we'll earn from the backlinks
as the prize. DON'T GIVE A CAR! We don't want one of those
poor peasants driving our cars! We're supposed to appeal to
high class people like tom hanks! Tom hanks isn't gonna buy
shit if he sees victor driving a SAAB, probably stinking it
up like pig pen.

speaking of great design (it's great, viktor!): you'll love

Yeah, Olly Moss is of course one of my idols in this area.
Love his stuff! Brandon Schaefer's work is also very
impressive. Noma Bar has done some sick posters as well.

didn't your coffee & cigarettes poster get complimented by
some design hero?

you should post new work, and maybe your saab poster, and
maybe also old work, here: http://www.reddit.com/r/design
for great social media exposure

Which design hero was that? I just know that it's been
blogged and featured on different sites, and also saved as a
favorite on flickr by Mr. Moss! :-)

Yeah, reddit is great for getting exposure, good thing that
you reminded me about the design section! Have posted some
of my stuff there, will definitely use it again in the
future.
