Would you like a FREE DECK with your own design on it?! Well here is your chance!

 

This month (May) marks Focus Skate Mag’s 7-year anniversary. To commemorate this event we would like YOU to create and design a FOCUS board on BOARDPUSHER’S website.

 

We will review all entries and pick our favorite. The creator of our favorite design will WIN A FREE DECK with YOUR DESIGN PRINTED ON IT! We may even post photos of the winner, other designs and the runners-up in an upcoming issue of Focus!!!

 

NOW THAT YOU KNOW WHAT’S UP, HERE’S HOW TO ENTER:
1. Upload your design on an 8 inch deck here. (Which is free)
2. Click “Finish Deck” and email us (info@FocusSkateMag.com) the link (with: Focus Deck Design Contest – in the subject line) to preview the design — or post it on our Facebook page to officially be entered into the contest.

 

LINKS TO DESIGN SWAG
Feel free to use any, all, some, or none of this to aid you in your design for this deck. We have included links to some logos if you decide to go that route, but we don’t want you to think that you have to use them to win.

1. 8 inch deck template

2. Focus Logo

3. Focus Liberty Bell Logo

4. Boardpusher Full Logo on Clear
