Wow, would love to go!
nice indeed
All my friends are going and they really want me to go… :)
Plus ofcourse.. it” be a great opportunity to meet and talk with “the” people from the industry..
just want to be winner!
I would really just like to get the tools and know how required to express myself through web development. I am going to be in Toronto and would gladly take you out for celebratory drinks.
I would love to get one one these tickets as ive never been to a design conference neither been to toronto!
Love design, love to go to Toronto AGAIN!
My dream is to make designs that create a reaction and bring awareness to profound ideas, knowledge and social issues that are kept hidden by large corporations. For example, eating 1/3 a cup of bee pollen a day (available at health food stores) gives you all the nutrients you need to survive!! Also, instead of buying American meat, the European Union pays the US $150 million per year in lost profit to keep the meat out of their country.
Attending FITC would give me the opportunity to network with people that could help me communicate through design these and many more ideas that our society needs to be aware of!! Thank you!!
Why I should win the FITC Toronto 2010 Ticket
By Larry Turner
Hello and thank you for considering this entry. Hopefully, my story will convince you that the ticket will not go to waste with me.
I grew up without a computer so, until recently, I didn’t know what this code meant.
if ($true) {
echo 'Hello World!';
} else {
echo 'wtf just happened?';
}
I am currently unemployed thanks to
George BushThe EconomyHousing Crisisa heartless boss who fired me the day before Christmas. <== Not kidding. I was just about to have a mid-life crisis when a great friend offered me his apartment in downtown Toronto to change my perspective. It worked. I have revived an idea I have been working on called Supplybrary, which is a user driven database detailing everyday useful items. I want to make the IMDB of things people use everyday. If you go to this address, you will see that I need all the help I can get.http://www.supplybrary.com
Here’s what I will do with the ticket.
1. I will be prepared with an agenda, and seek out the most relevant information and advice to fast track my project.
2. I will network, follow up, and make lasting relationships to absorb the full benefits of the festival.
3. I will retell the story of Web Designer Wall giving me my break with a ticket to FITC on CNN
Here’s why I deserve the ticket.
1. I don’t have the funds or experience to make Supplybrary happen without help.
2. I have a carefully thought out project that will greatly benefit from FITC.
3. I have used all of the HTML tags listed in your Comments Guidelines.
In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Thank you.
I wanna go cause it’ll be dope (and to learn) :)
I’m poor yet extremely talented. Help me. Never been.
After reading Larry Turner’s post I feel that he deserves it!! No kidding!
If he doesn’t get it though, then I’m pretty keen myself.. I see myself as someone who has a passion for design and I would love to attend.
I want to go to FITC so bad, missed it last year and had to hear the second hand awesome from my designer friends. I’m scraping by on freelance so I’ll make sure not to let a second of it go to waste. I promise I will be one big-ass brain sponge there soaking up 99% knowledge, 1% beer (don’t judge)
Hellow there!
my name is Elsa, a 23 year old curly italian graphic designer who just moved to Toronto (coming from a very disappointing MA in Graphic Design in London) that just can’t afford the ticket. (great,eh?)
Jobless as I am and after reading all the schedule, I just can not stand the idea of not being able to take part of the FITC… :( We have a very similar one in Milan called Fuorisalone which covers the entire city http://fuorisalone.it/2010/ so I am very aware of what I’m going to miss if I don’t get a ticket.. just the fact that I’ll get to know people in the same field would give me such a great push in the right direction! There’s even one of my favourite designers speaking at one of the presentations (Scott Hansen)..
I want to be great in my passion that is graphic design and events like these just keep me going and make me want to do better everyday.
In few words: the ticket will be an opportunity for me…and i’ll make the most of it if i will only be given a chance.
Thank you
Elsa
Please send me to FITC! I am a young freelance designer. I want to learn from the best designers out there. I want to network with the best designers out there. I want to bring expert quality design to my work.
…Not to mention that a few days in Toronto would be damn fun.
Hello,
I’m a French studen @ Paris Marne-la-Vallée, and I’m actually studiying webdesign so i’m very interested to get there !
Thanks

Hi, I am a Mexican International Student in el Paso Tx. I am doing the programming degree but I like a lot everything about graphics. Really, taking this opportunity could be a great experience in my development path. Thank you and I hope…Good Luck!!!
webmarketer and blogger, i hope to go to FITC events to meet designers and get idea from what it could be done between webdesign and technology.
I am also running a Web design company, but you are really doing a good job because these kinds of Festivals are very informative.
Thanks
Stoked about FITC!
