2008 Cast Create-A-Pin Contest Entry

[shallow15]

So, for those who don't know, I work at Walt Disney World. And every year, they hold the Cast Create-A-Pin contest. Cast members from all over Disney World can submit their ideas for pin designs. The Pin Trading team pick five winners and those winners see their artwork turned into limited edition (and I do mean limited: only 500 of each winning design) cast member exclusive pins.

My entry for last year, "Villainous Vacation" can be found here:

But it didn't win (And no, it had nothing to do with the quality of the picture, since all the winning entries get redrawn by the professional artists at Disney Design Group before they're turned into pins)

After seeing the sheer shmaltz factor involved in the winning pins from that year (All of them were a basic variant on "Cast Members Make the Magic"), I decided to try again with that particular theme in mind, and, once again, I did not win. So, I present to you my 2008 Cast Create-A-Pin Contest Entry...

Aw! That's too bad. But it's still really great! Personally I'd love to have a pin of that. Also I'd like to see if I can get one of those sketch artists at WDW to draw me a pic. I saw one last year I really liked of Kuzco but didn't know if I'd have the cash to last me the rest of my vacation 'cause I had to pay for my own trip. I vowed next time I'd get one no matter what.
