The contest winner will be selected by how many votes their design has. There is no registration or any information required to vote. You can do a quick search on PS Print to see that they are a legitimate print company and this is not a phishing scam.
Be sure to vote for your favorite design!

Thanks everyone!

Post to group through Google Wave

I have created a Google Group for us so that you may “wave” to everyone in the group via Google Wave. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a pretty URL or email address because they were already used and Google has a lame rule that they can only be used once, even if the previous instance has been deleted (which was by me, which makes it even more lame).

Visit the Google Group home page for more information. Join the group and then add the address “utah-graphic-arists@googlegroups.com” to your Google Contacts list. You can then add the group address to new waves and everyone will have access to it.

Note that Wave will bark that that user does not have a valid Wave account when you try to add it. Ignore that and simply strike the return key and the address will be added to your contact list.

LinkedIn group membership requests declined

Some membership requests for our LinkedIn group were accidently declined. If that was you, please resubmit your request and it will be approved. We apologize for the inconvenience.
