Site updates & FB change

Our contest started 2 weeks ago and already we have many contestants; so cool to see that people form over 20 countries entered already; and yes, its growing;
End of February we will give you a top-ranking in each category.

Design update
While creating the contest we took the opportunity to change a part of the site design; therefor it took some longer to started with the contest, but we are very happy with the result;



The profile page of the contest is renewed; the pictures are bigger so people can show themselves better;  and the page with all contestants is nicer (at least that is what we think).



Facebook page 
We have also changed our Facebook page; we included a shop opportunity & the welcome page is dedicated to the contest.


As you see we are in full speed, to boost the community & are very happy with your effort to do the same!

Contest information!

The contest is started and we have already over more than 70 entries and growing; very cool!
When we started we decided to make the % of votes visible to everybody, but at the last testing round we had to conclude that this would give the chance to manipulate the system (unvoting & fraud).
Unfortunately in the version which was set live, the % where included.

Yesterday evening we have adjusted the system; not showing the % of votes anymore, but our system still keep track on them; so now at all contestants its says "0%" votes.
In the upcoming hours we will see how we can take away this as well, because it doesn't represent your actual %.
So basically nothing has change at the amount of votes the contestant has earned. Thanks for understanding & good luck with the contest!

YES, you can pre-order




As announced at the end of the year; we will increase the activities on the design process. 
So now, for the first time, it’s possible to pre-order a design of a member in the shop! The community has selected some popular designs that you can now pre-order in the shop so it can get produced.
Support the members Christopher, Stefy, Yina, Floriaan and Grandi to realize their fashion dreams. Pre-order the design to show your appreciation for their work and talent.Christopher created an elegant winter blouse, while Grandi and Floriaan both designed summer t-shirts, both with an interesting story behind the design. Yina and Stefy share their dress designs with us. Yina’s design is multifunctional too as it can also be worn as a top.
PRE-ORDERING
Pre-orders tell us how many members would like to wear the design. This is important as JUSTPROUD doesn't want to create designs that members don't feel like wearing. When you place a pre-order you will not have to finish the payment. You'll get a notification for the payment when the design is produced, so you can still change your mind.
JUSTPROUD
JUSTPROUD is a community where fashion talents get connected to realize their dream. We offer you a platform so you can design, model and photograph together with other members.
The process
Designs uploaded by members get promoted by them and gain votes. Models and photographers who like the design connect their profile to let us know that they’d like to attend a shoot for the designs. When a design gets enough votes it becomes pre-orderable in the shop. As soon as the design receives enough pre-orders, it will be produced and shipped. The photo shoot with the most popular model and designer can also start!
So today is a very special day as we together make progress in realizing the concept of JUSTPROUD.
Curious about the first pre-orderable designs? Go to the shop and support the designers!

HAPPY 2011


Enjoying the old & the new: we look back at 2010 as a year that makes us happy & we welcome 2011!
2010 was an amazing year for JUSTPROUD. The first international shoot with the winning members, the new website, the first MAGAZINE and of course the involvement of over 10.000 members. We are very proud of meeting all the talents who all inspire the JUSTPROUD-team & together we won 3 International Awards! Soo cool!
In 2011 the 2nd international contest will take place and we’re very excited. All members can participate to become the face of JUSTPROUD, the photographer and the designer. With or without experience in the fashion industry, you are invited! It’s the community who decides who gets the opportunity.
JUSTPROUD is an international community that connects fashion talents from all over the world. This makes the fashion processes so interesting.
We wish you the best for the New Year and lots of opportunities in the fashion industry.
