Examples are provided, as well as examples in overall structure for the emails. That said, a BIG part of this contest is to determine how well you turn the creative briefs provided into full emails.

The winner will be the designer who BEST translates the briefs into high-quality emails that incorporate the elements from the briefs in a compelling, direct-response form.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!

    Dear contest holder , you need someone like user experience design expert, they have empathy and vision to dominate targeted user for CTA! I mean email UI design must have creative and concise UX button and color combination to connect emotionally between your service and user. You need UI/UX designer to translate creative mastercopy into high converting visual striking communication. Thank you. Cheers
