Winners Announced! PRG Originals Contest

[STUDque]

The foundation of PRG is to give consumers high quality products at reasonable prices and offer distributors a nimble manufacturer which can handle bulk orders but doesn’t scoff (or price gouge) on a limited run of bag-tags for a corporate outing.

None of that is changing, but with the debut of its Originals line, PRG wanted a place to house a select number of custom designs for the general market. From shamrocks and sweet-tooth’s to Fabulous Las Vegas and Route 66, the intent is to stock a limited number of roughly 23 designs which should have broad appeal, and though it doesn’t (currently) allow for individuals to customize one-off covers, I wouldn’t be at all shocked to see this made available sooner rather than later.

Also, as a value-added bonus (you can thank PRG’s Northern Irish heritage), luck is included at no extra cost.

 

IT’S ON YOU

Want to design the next PRG headcover? Here’s the deal:

 

Step 1: Download a copy of the putter headcover design template. CLICK HERE

Step 2: Upload your design and an artist’s statement (Why should your design win?) to THIS THREAD.

Step 3: After approximately two weeks, all submissions will be narrowed down to 4-6 final designs. PRG will then create one-off headcovers of each final design.

Step 4: A final winner will be selected using a very complex algorithm which carefully weighs input via social media, overall artistry and complexity of message. (Actually, it will be whichever design we think is the best, or coolest, or really whatever.)

Step 5: The winning design will be offered in a limited-run (exact number of pieces is TBD) with a portion of the proceeds going to the designer’s charity of choice.

 

Good Luck and if you’re looking for inspiration, did we mention PRG all started in Northern Ireland?

 

 

 ** For this contest specifically, the winner will receive 5 (five) copies of their headcover and a portion of the proceeds from the limited sale dedicated to the charity of his/her choice.

** Moving forward, should PRG wish to use any of the submitted designs, PRG will contract with that individual and provide consideration (e.g. royalty payment, on-off payment) for further use of said design.

• Is there an official rules sheet for this?
• Who owns the rights to the designs submitted?
• Does the winning designer get one or a handful of their headcovers?

I already have designs I’ve worked on. No trademark though. I’m hesitant to post pics of ideas that I’ve invested time in. Any way to circumvent the process you’re implementing?

[Dr Strangelove]

Here is an idea.  This was inspired by my appreciation for the armed forces (my nephew is a marine) as well as the notion that I am often looking for my putter to bail me out of the mess I have made.  "e.g. for goddsake hit that 12 footer to avoid a 10."  That's where the S.O.S and morse code comes from.

I've never been known as an artist but I'll give it a shot.  I went with a simple and clean look that started out as "Drive for Show, Putt for Dough" but morphed into "Truth Digest; More Bombs for your Buck".

Great ideas so far! Keep them coming!

For those asking questions around who owns submitted designs, here's what we're going to do:

  ** For this contest specifically, the winner will receive 5 (five) copies of their headcover and a portion of the proceeds from the limited sale dedicated to the charity of his/her choice.

 

** Moving forward, should PRG wish to use any of the submitted designs, PRG will contract with that individual and provide consideration (e.g. royalty payment, on-off payment) for further use of said design.

 

Basically, if you win the contest, you receive 5 copies of your design and get to direct a portion of the proceeds to a charity of your choice. If PRG wants to use your design beyond that, you will be fairly compensated.

 

If your design doesn't win and PRG wants to use it in any capacity, you will be compensated for that.

Decided to give this a whirl:

[ascarmich]

I realize PRG is a based in Northern Ireland but was feeling particularly patriotic with the 9/11 anniversary approaching.

Hai you all this is the first design.

I am working on some more, but as the vintage pin-up girls always bring luck to us all, she should protect the money maker in your bagLet's go!!

[KurtActual]

Sure wish I could photochop.

[Golfspy_Lukes]

Here is my first submission.  I am assuming we can submit multiple entries?

This submission is titled "Danger! Flammable" because we all know our putters can get hot at any time!

Bust out the crayons and scan it in!  That's what I'm gonna do.

[mablax12]

Have a couple other ideas, and unfortunately this one will not fit on the template exactly, but do a skinny version of the moon boot pictured below with a silicone mold and metallic fabric in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo landing. It's already the right shape and as far as I can see nobody has done space/nasa related headcover save the Cameron one that is referred to as the nasa cover but really is just because it was shiny. More to come...

Me too! Just got some colored pencils out and can't wait to see what I come up with!

[Dr Strangelove]

I like your ideas guys.  Here's one more. Fans of Glengarry Glenn Ross and many in sales will recognize this.  I am not in sales but this is my "go to" self motivator when I need to make a clutch shot.  I have emblazoned a few ball marks with this saying.

 

 

 

[Golfspy_Lukes]

I'd rather be lucky than good.  Inspired by the Be Lucky cover.

[Golfspy_Lukes]

Inspired by Gene Kelly.  Nothing better than golf and after I make a nice putt I want to dance around like Gene Kelly in "Singing in the rain"

Irish Flag colours- excuse my shaky drawn lines, they should be straighter and cleaner lines.
