A few weeks ago we featured Mr. Chiizu’s two new themes from Skwak and Aya Kato. Mr. Chiizu, an iPhone photo decoration app with themes designed by today’s most exciting artists and designers wants to give Beautiful/Decay readers a chance to win some coveted and sold out Aya Kato and Skwak merchandise in honor of the release of their packs.

Entering is easy and free:

a Rafflecopter giveaway

This giveaway ends December 27th so jump to it!

Find out what the lucky winner gets after the jump.

The winner will receive their choice of a Skwak or Aya Kato prize pack:

The Skwak Prize Pack includes a Men’s XXL Skwak Feed Me T-shirt, Archive Book and 12″ x 16″ Poster.

The Aya Kato Prize Pack includes a Men’s Small Native America T-shirt, Archive Book and a 12″ x 16″ Poster.

To top it all off the winner will also receive a promo code to download Mr. Chiizu! Happy Holidays, indeed.

Since launching in the early fall of 2011 Mr. Chiizu has shot up the iTunes charts across Asia, instantly becoming one of the most popular photo decoration apps on the App Store. What makes Mr. Chiizu unique is that it is not only a photo decoration app, but a platform for artists and designers to sell their work in the form of add-on themes. Unlike any other photo decoration app, we add new releases to our library monthly. Now everyone can own a piece by their favorite artist for just 99 cents.

Franz Thues and Dirk König AKA Anarchy Alchemy are two art directors based in Düsseldorf, Germany. They make pictures harnessing the magic of generative design. All of their illustrations are generated by programs they write for each specific illustration series, allowing them to create a potentially endless stream of pictures on the press of a button.

Beautiful/Decay and Prius Projects are proud to present the winner of the Future Perfect project. It was an extremely tough call but after many days of disscussion we are proud to announce Corey Thompson as the grand prize winner! Not only will Corey get a Beautiful/Decay care package valued at $300 from Beautiful/Decay but he will also have an exclusive interview in Beautiful/Decay Book: 6.

We had originally planned on featuring 70 runner-ups in book:6 but having received so many amazing contributions we’ve decided to increase the artist count to 100! Each runner up will have their submissions featured in the book, creating the ultimate creative book filled with visions of a better tomorrow. We can’t release the names of the runner ups just yet but stay tuned for more news as Book: 6 develops!

P.S. To reserve your copy of Book: 6 make sure to subscribe! It is the only way to gaurantee yourself a copy before it sells out.

Thanks to all the artists who submitted work to our Future Perfect call for submissions. We had well over 250 submissions for every single state in the US varying in medium from kinetic installations to drawings. It’s going to be extremely difficult to select only 70 artists from all the amazing submissions. In the next week we will be contacting artists who have made it into the book as well as announcing the grand winner who will get their very own exclusive interview in Beautiful/Decay Book: 6. Thanks to our sponsor Toyota Prius Projects for working with us to make the Future Perfect book happen and to promote and support new and emerging artists!
