CreditCards.com announces the Uniquely Yours^TM credit card design competition.

Austin, Texas - CreditCards.com, a leading online marketplace for credit card seekers, announced a design competition that should appeal to anyone seeking self expression through an unusual and overlooked medium – the credit card.

At the contest website, http://design.creditcards.com, the public is invited to enter their favorite photographs or designs for consideration in this fun and unique competition.

“From clothing to cell phones, consumer co-design and mass customization are redefining commodity products as avenues for self expression” said Jody Farmer, Vice President of Marketing for CreditCards.com.  “We think debit and credit cards are in the next wave.”

The top design will be selected by a panel of design experts and awarded the top prize of a $2,500 prepaid debit card.  Two runner-up designs will also be selected and will receive $500 prepaid gift cards. 

Visitors can also vote for their favorite entry, and the entry receiving the most votes will be awarded $1,000 “Most Popular” award.

The competition platform is powered by Serverside Group, a global technology provider to the payment card industry.  Serverside’s cutting-edge software allows users to upload, enlarge, rotate, move and flip their chosen photos inside a card template, allowing them to view how their finished card design will actually appear.

While CreditCards.com doesn’t directly issue any cards, at the website, consumers will find a number of issuers that can fulfill their design.
