Hello,
can we know the deadline to this contest?  ;)

Already made a design, hopefully I don't forget about it before next week.

Deadline is not decided yet.Submission starts coming week. All the best ;)

Just a question, is the top left "PROXY" set in stone or can I include my own style in the design? (Proxy Logo + Text).

I do not understand. Do you represent any graphic editor?

your prize its with PROXY coin ?
we know that the proxy will open ico sell , and what if ico it fails?
whether this gift will be money or bitcoin ?

proxy logo and account name will be printed by proxy team, it is mentioned in template so that you don't design over it and keep it clean in that area ,all grey area is free to design except proxy logo and text.

Yes prize in proxy tokens worth 8500USD+ and also a lot of goodies.

1-A Google Home / Chromecast combo. Our passion for tech doesn’t end with Proxy Cards, and we’d love to hook up our #1 winner with a great smart-home starter kit.

2-NFC Rings, which will be encoded with your card details. These rings are custom sized and handmade for each order!

3-Proxy Swag, we’ll load you up with t-shirts, Snapbacks, stickers, and more!

4-A Skype call with the team, to thank you and introduce you to everyone!

5-Custom card made just for you, numbered 001 of your own design.

the contest is open to all.

 
  
And is the contest ran by someone with Graphic Design knowledge? Just wondering because you're not telling us exactly what elements are and are not going to be on the card on the final printed card+ you're taking away one of the biggest design freedom impacts which is the logo style, by forcing a boring emboss.  
  
1. Why are you not including base element sizes and positioning in your template?
2. Where and how big will the EMV chip be? Silver or gold?
3. What fonts and sizes will you be using for the card number?
4. Where is the User # (001) going to be located on the card? Which font, which font size?
5. Why are you not allowing the graphic designers freedom for logo placement and style? Why the emboss instead of a proper, modern traditional printing on the logo?  
  
#1 to #4 should be things included in the template in a downloadable PSD file or at least organized PNGs. All of those elements drastically change what a design is going to look like, I think you need to dump this contest, go over it again properly and then post it with the proper resources and information, or at least edit the post to provide what's needed. I think what you should be doing is to let people design a card completely from scratch and then work closely with the contest winner(s) to come to a final version that both parties agree to, both in terms of visual appeal and functionality. In order to do that, for starters you really need to provide elements within your template that are put in by you onto the card post-design. (Like I said, EMV Chip, Card Number, Expiry Date Start/End, Card #(001,002 etc) And let the designers have control over the logo design etc, which you can then work on with the designer if you absolutely want the emboss.

which one that is right and meet the requirements?

Hey, Proxy Team here. We were announcing preliminary information with the intent to distribute PSD and detailed instructions when we start accepting submissions. Furthermore, if you read up on what our product is, there is no visible EMV chip as it is not a debit card. Please, sit tight and you'll have your answers.

PSD template is added, click here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/90r6yovg7b3n03r/1_5044330971940257807.psd?dl=0) to download.
Thanks for the interest :)

 
 
Cool, thanks.

It means don't include logo name,account name in your final design,  it will be printed by proxy team separately.
