Just found this great website

[cincytodd]

I am a graphic designer at a downtown Cincinnati Ad firm and just found this great website on my lunch break and am in the process of setting things up and will apply to be a part of the design team this evening.

I understand that I cannot enter any contest until my application to the design team has been approved. I read that it can take up to 30 days for this to happen but is that like a worst case scenario? - or caould it take only a few days to be approved, providing I meet all of the criteria of course?

I have some cool ideas for a contest that ends Nov. 20 and am wondering if I have a shot at getting approved so I may share my concepts in that contest thread?

Looking forward to being a part of this web community. I have seen some really nice work done by you guys.

well, you can submit your application only after one week after the registration. Providing you have registered today it leaves very little time for _redrum to review your application and start a poll about your input on the forums.
It doesn't hurt to try, but personally I think there isn't enough time to have your application processed.

and feel free to share the link to your portfolio with us. It is really interesting to see what you've been working on.
