Across the Americas, Roland will host two regional contests, one serving customers in the US, Canada, and Guam, and the other serving customers across Latin America and the Caribbean.

Entrants will be competing for the following prizes:

  • Monthly People’s Choice Awards – One top entry per region will be selected each month (Oct., Nov. and Dec.) to take home an Apple 16 GB iPad2 — the best device for every designer on the go — and sleek over-ear Roland stereo headphones.
  • Honorable Mention Awards – Two contest finalists will be named in each region and will win a Dell laptop computer, complete with CorelDRAW Suite.
