In addition to the announcement at the HOW Conference, the company will promote the program via popular design sites and at top design schools. Participants will go to http://www.fossil.com/design to enter the contest, obtain design specs and a tin template, review submission guidelines and get full contest details. (The tin design site went live June 12th 2006 and online rating begins July 3rd 2006. All entries are due no later than September 12th 2006.)
Also, as part of its celebration of their unique tin history, Fossil will be publishing a coffee-table book anthology showcasing hundreds of its most creative and unique tin designs from the past 16 years. The hard cover book will be available on fossil.com and in select bookstores this fall.
Conceived as more than a mere container for products, the Fossil tin has delivered a fun, irreverent and vintage brand message to millions of consumers worldwide. These iconic boxes are nearly as popular as the watches they hold and are regularly collected and traded throughout the world at flea markets, antique shops, and on eBay. With one of the most celebrated graphic design teams in the world and hundreds of awards to their credit, Fossil continues to set the highest standard for creative excellence.
Fossil is a design, development, marketing and distribution company that specializes in consumer products predicated on fashion and value. Its principal offerings include an extensive line of fashion watches sold under the company's proprietary and licensed brands. It also offers complementary lines of small leather goods, belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry and apparel.
