Starting on 5/10 at 11 a.m. PT, we’re launching a dreamier-than-ever contest on Pinterest. Do you aspire to be a veterinarian, a fashion columnist, or something really creative like a pancake astronaut? Then, share your most marvelous vocational aspirations with us in a cohesive board that captures the essence of your dream job, and you could win a $100 gift certificate!
To enter, create a board, title it “ModCloth’s Make It Work Contest,” then add a description of your aesthetic to your board. Make sure your board contains each of the 20 pins listed above, in no particular order. In each pin’s caption, include the number and name that the pin corresponds to, along with the hashtags #modcloth and #makeitwork. Feel free to elaborate or add fun copy to each pin’s description — we’d love to know why you’re passionate about the images and inspirations you chose. Then, when your board is perfect, share it with us by posting it as a link in a comment on the original contest announcement pin, located in our “Follow Your Dreams” board.

8 loves 
Well everyone knows I LOVE pinterest and now they will see how I dream of a ModCloth gift card! :) Very detailed contest and I love that. Also the idea of the board is truly unique! Thanks for fun and I’m eager to play :)
Is #5 real or fiction? I mean, is it a snapshot of my current job or my dream job?
Dream job, I’d say!
Your dream job. :)
Great idea! Ioved making my board :) http://pinterest.com/cheerfuld/modcloth-s-make-it-work-contest/
Did you share this on the pinterest ModCloth post? Cause I don’t know if they count it if it’s only shared online, and it looks like you worked hard!
I would think that they mean a snapshot of your current job. But since there is no specification I suppose you could do whichever you please.
I may have an idea in mind for this. Would love some clarification on #5 as well though-real or fictional? Either will work for the idea I have in mind, but it’d be nice to know before I go ahead and pin something that may not have been what was required.
Either is fine! We’d love to see your dream job, though.
I’m wondering if you can have more than one pin for each number. Would that break the rules?
Just one per number please! :)
I creeped some other people’s boards when I was done and realized I took these way too literally. For “big smile” I posted myself smiling. I don’t think anyone else did that. Haha, oh well.
Had so much fun making my board! I hope I win :)
Can’t figure out how to connect my pinboard.
Please leave a link to your board as a comment on our original pin! http://pinterest.com/pin/75716837455451944/

here’s my board just in case
I made and submitted my board but for some reason it says “0 pins” even though there are obviously pins, is that alright? http://pinterest.com/autumnbear/modcloths-make-it-work-contest/
Hi @ModCloth. So I’ve been trying to post the link to my board on Pinterest in the comments of the original pin, but I keep getting the error message “We were unable to send your message. Please try again later. (cl7)” I’ve contacted Pinterest, but have not heard back yet. I am linking my board to here. I worked so hard on it! I’d like to at least give it a chance… http://pinterest.com/msalyx/modcloths-make-it-work-contest/
It still won’t let me. I thought I’d give it more time, but it still won’t let me post a comment on Pinterest… Argh!
its not letting me post mine!
It wouldn’t let me post even tho I stil have a few minutes left :( http://pinterest.com/ncwein/modcloths-make-it-work-contest/
http://pinterest.com/candysanchez/modcloths-make-it-work-contest/
I also got the error message! Posting here just in case…!
as I wrote before, pinterest wouldn’t let me post my link! I posted that before the deadline time and I’m noticing that others were having the same problem. Since I see others are posting their link on here, I will do the same I know that it’s past the time, but hopefully you guys will still accept it :( I worked so hard on it!!
