Raizcorp and Springleap launches an Entrepreneur inspired competition

Press Releae – Cape Town – South Africa, Raizcorp and Springleap.com have joined forces to launch the first Entrepreneur inspired t-shirt design competition.

The competition is entitled ‘I am an entrepreneur’. The winner will receive R10 000 (US$1250) in cash, an inspiration pack, and worldwide exposure.

Allon Raiz (CEO and founder of Raizcorp) mentions:

“Entrepreneurship is not just about business. It’s about the birthing of an idea, the tension between fear and hope, and the ability to live in the space between what could be and what is.”

Co-founder of Springleap.com, Eran Eyal, adds:

“Delving into the depths of entrepreneurship is not at all unlike that of the artistic creative process. It is difficult to assess success in the trenches, troughs and spikes – it is only the passage of time that allows us to observe the passage in perspective… to see whence the steel of skill and the sea of creative talent meet.”

Raizcorp seeks to discover what entrepreneurship means to different people in different cultures and locations, via the medium of artistic and graphic expression.

Founded in 2002, as a business incubator, Raizcorp has evolved to a place where it can proudly declare itself Africa’s only unfunded for-profit business prosperator. Drawing on the best practices of business incubator models, worldwide, Raizcorp has created prosperation – its own unique, world-renowned model of business incubation.

Long time friends Eran Eyal and Eric Edelstein founded Springleap.com in 2008 and have been passionately growing the business to provide the best design platform for up and coming designers. Springleap.com is an online crowdsourcing t-shirt design website which holds a bi-weekly open theme design competition, with artists from all around the world submitting designs to win a large cash prize, royalties and accolades whilst allowing the public to vote on which designs should win.

‘I am an entrepreneur’ is open for submissions until December 8, 2010. The Springleap.com community will vote all submissions and ultimately the winner will be announced after the month voting period.
