Win a lot of milk

To be fair, I didn’t know what to call this post. Basically Cravendale are offering you the chance to win a year’s supply of milk if you can design them a funky birthday card. Whether they’ll deliver a cow on loan to your back garden for 12 months is for you to take up with them, but as design offices drink loads of tea and coffee them maybe it’s a good opportunity to do something creative and win something ace.

From the official press release… “Cravendale celebrates it’s 10th birthday this month and to mark the occasion there will be a competition launching on Monday giving users the chance to win a year’s supply of milk. The comp will run from Mon 6th- Fri 31st October and all you have to do to enter is draw a birthday card in the MyCravendale art application which can be found on Cravendale’s site.”
