    It seems like you are linking to localhost on those images;

    Im just about to release my new clothing line, so i would use the business cards to hand out to people in the streets, to give to friends, to send along with each order (2 or 3 so that they can then give to their friends) i would also include a special WRITTEN promotional number on maybe 100 of them, so a lucky 100 out of 1000 could get themselves 15% off in the store.
    Great competition idea by the way! =D

    I would use them to build up my freelance business and hopefully be able to leave my current job so I can work freelance full time, which has always been a dream of mine

    I would use them to find a job as a graphic designer. I graduate in the spring! I’ve got a portfolio review in March and these cards would help me stand out from the crowd!

    On Friday the 13th of February, I will be leaving my job to start my own Web design business in the worst recession in 80 years. Yes, I’m serious.

    Some business cards might help.

    Because it would be the magic portal to the offline world I need to participate in sometimes.

    I’d use these cards to further my budding freelance graphic design career. Lately, I’ve been meeting up with new clients. And I’ve always been around lots of locals bands who I would absolutely LOVE to design for. These cards would make giving contact information and professional breeze and would aid me a lot in my quest to be a completely independent working freelance graphic design.

    I would use the cards to enter this contest again when uprinting.com goes to yet another tutorial site where I won’t win anything.

    I would use them to level off my drawing table, and the rest I would hide in place settings at restaurants for people to find.

    Sorry, I just noticed my typo! I know spelling counts with EVERYTHING, so let me correct it. Instead of my post reading “and professional breeze,” it should read “a professional breeze.” Sorry for any confusion!

    Just starting out with my business, I’m not taken very seriously by others just because I’m very young. These business cards would very well help me present that I’m not only young, but I’m ambitious and definitely serious about my business.

    Btw, you guys
    thank you very much for the opportunity btw :) awesome contest!
