T-shirt design contest and proceeds from its sales will benefit the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization.

Recent events in State College, Pennsylvania have mobilized alumni to form Proud to be a Penn Stater.  This network of alumni, students and fans has a goal of raising $500,000 for RAINN.org.

“As Penn State Alumni, we wanted to get the focus back on the children and victims of sexual abuse,” said Joe Witte, Vice-President of Mycroburst.com.  “RAINN.org is an outstanding organization and the support from alumni and students has been phenomenal. We’ve raised more than $100,000 in less than 36 hours, which is truly amazing and shows the concern for these victims and the strength of Penn State’s network.”

To assist in this fundraising, MycroBurst has asked our creative community of designers to develop a t-shirt design. The design will convey the support the Penn State community has for the victims of sexual abuse. Proceeds from the sale of the shirt will go to RAINN.org.

To submit your designs, visit the contest now!  This $400 guaranteed contest ends on Monday!

We’ve done it again! As many of you have seen, we are constantly improving MycroBurst.com to be the best we can be for our project holders and design community. Our newest feature enables project holders to have more options and it also gives designers an opportunity to win extra prize money!

So, what’s this new big addition?  MycroBurst is now allowing project holders to select additional winners! That’s right – if you see more than one design that you like throughout your contest, it could be yours!

Additional designs could be used anywhere - to spice up marketing collateral, make flyers eye-catching, ensure your stationery and business cards leave a lasting impression, and more!

The best part?  Choosing additional designs is a cinch.

Once a project holder has selected the ultimate winner for their design project, they will then be directed toward our additional winner selection page!  This is how it works:

- A project holder selects the individual design wanted.  (Please note:  You can select multiple additional winners – you are not limited to one!  All of the following steps are the same.)
- A prize amount for the additional design is offered to the designer of that design.  We suggest offering the same prize amount that was offered during the contest or more.
- The designer of the additional design then decides whether or not they will accept the prize amount and give the project holder that additional design.

Once the designer agrees to the offered prize, the design will be yours!  Waiting time for  finalized files is the same 2-3 working days as the original contest.

To all of our designers, I imagine you can see the benefits that are present for you too!  Now that there are more opportunities for designs to be chosen by project holders, there are more opportunities for you to win prize money!  When you are chosen as an additional winner, you are given the option to release your designs not only for a prize amount, but for exposure of your skills!

I hope you are all excited as we are, we can’t wait to see this new feature in action!

The United States has had some tough weather lately, especially on the east coast.  There has been earthquakes, tornados and dear old Hurricane Irene.  For many, a holiday weekend couldn’t have come soon enough.

This weekend, the USA will be celebrating Labor Day!  For many Americans this holiday symbolizes the end of summer including final beach trips, backyard barbecues and the official last day to wear white.  However, the meaning is quite deeper than that.

The first Labor Day in the US was celebrated on September 5^th, 1882.  Today, it is celebrated on the first Monday of September.  Originated in Canada, Labor Day was created to be a day of rest and to recognize the average working man.

Per usual, Americans will be traveling to enjoy the long weekend.  Beaches and Resorts have been reopened after recent devastating weather.  AAA predicts 31.6 million Americans will be traveling over the weekend, about a million less than last year.

Travel and history aside, I highly suggest you check out this article, “10 Interesting Facts about Labor Day.”  It’s definitely interesting and may teach you a few unknown facts about the holiday!

Whatever is on your to-do list for the weekend, my hope is that you use the Labor Day weekend for what it was originated for – enjoyment and relaxation!

From all of us at MycroBurst.com, have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend everyone!

Over $2.5 million dollars in prize money has been given to winning designers at MycroBurst. With an average of 110 drafts submitted to each contest, we can see this number only going up.

Thus, we’ve added another way for our designers to receive prize money!

MycroBurst offers payment through PayPal.com and now Western Union as well!

What does this mean for Designers?

With offering payment through Western Union designers will benefit significantly. A few of these benefits include:

-  Choice of payment options
-  Payout currency – Receive payment in US dollars or your local currency!

How does Payment work?

With PayPal.com you can be paid through your PayPal ID that has been previously set-up with your personal email account.

With Western Union you will first have to submit information. This information includes name, address, phone number, email address and all of your bank account information.

What are the Fees?

With both PayPal and Western Union there are fees. With Western Union there is an additional charge of 5.5% on top of the 10% processing fee. This is comparable to PayPal fees as well.

How long will it take to receive Payment with Western Union?

Payment via Western Union will take about 5 to 10 days. This range depends on your country’s and your bank’s policies.

What does MycroBurst suggest?

When you register at MycroBurst as a designer, we recommend that you also try to set up a PayPal account. If you cannot set up a PayPal account for any reason, after you win your first design project, please contact MycroBurst support at Support@MycroBurst.com and set up Western Union payment.
