Toy Factory Contest!
In 2008, local marketing communications firm The Idea Factory launched the Toy Factory as a way to do our part to ensure every kid gets to feel the magic of Christmas morning. It represents the spirit of imagination and possibility. It’s about making a bunch of busy adults stop for a minute and feel like kids again.
Since its inception, The Toy Factory has raised over $90,000 in toys and cash, in aid of the families who need it most at Christmas. A 15 day drive challenged individuals and corporations to jump aboard. From drawing books to dress-up clothes, each year the boardroom of The Idea Factory was filled to the brim with the magic of simple dreams coming true.
Embodying the values on which The Idea Factory was born, The Toy Factory reminds us that in life, we should never be too busy to create, too complacent to question, or too distracted to give.
This year, we want students across the province to create, question and give with the Toy Factory T-shirt Contest.
Students of all ages are invited to design a t-shirt they feel best represents the spirit of the Toy Factory, the spirit of imagination and possibility and the feeling of being a kid at Christmas. The student who submits the winning design will win an Apple iPad and have their design featured on any official 2010 Toy Factory promotional merchandise or event. Plus, each submission will be entered into a draw for an Apple iPod Touch.
You can submit a complete design or a concept with a sketch. The winner will be chosen based on the concept and what the design represents, not necessarily the strength of the final art design itself.
Entries can be submitted via email at contests@ifactory.ca. Designs will be posted on the Idea Factory Facebook page so you can comment on entries and share them with your friends. Plus, follow The Idea Factory on Twitter to stay in the loop on all the Toy Factory news.
The Toy Factory T-shirt Contest opens on Monday, November 1st, 2010 and closes November 19th, 2010. The winner will be announced at a special Toy Factory event on Thursday, November 25th.

What a great idea. I think the winning design should be printed on a large back drop and all guests to the annual client and supporters of Toy Mountain party should sign it or have the winner sign it a raffel it off . This could start a new tradition??!!
Cheers
what happening if you don’t know how to draw
no kidding bob realty
Great idea Bob – thanks for this – your fingerprints are now on it!!
@janny – A detailed description of your concept would work as well, thanks!
its always nice to get kids involed in the act of giving no matter how small it is and kids in this day and age are always there with there hands out so maybe it will get them thinking. Maybe next year you ca run a campain and get the kids involed in bringing a gift to school for the toy factory to help out.
The toy factory is a good thing and i think its one of the nices thigs you have done since you have been open.
Keep it going guys.

“we should never be too busy to create, too complacent to question, or too distracted to give”
is it okay to use text in our design?
@emily – Absolutely, all creative direction is up to you!
When I was in high school at Gonzaga I organized “Coats for Kids”, which was meant to bring in winter outer wear for underprivaledged children. Its success hinged on the generosity of my peers, and was a complete success each year it was put off. I dont know if other high schools do similar things, but I figured I’d pass on the info as food for thought.
I suppose I should mention that this project was through the Peace and Justice committee that I was part of, and I am certain that the kids who are putting the event off now would love a chance to contribute in a bigger way. It’s an idea for an alliance with youth.
