"Ello is committed to being wherever creativity lives, and we are focused on the many ways we can support creators everywhere," says Ello CMO, Mark Gelband. "Our partnership with SPOON and this competition seek to recognize and reward the work of emerging fashion artists who may not catch the eye of the corporate mainstream."
"When we discovered Ello, we knew we'd found a kindred spirit with their ad-free and human-centered values," notes SPOON partner and co-everything Karine Chane Yin. "We understand the importance of being able to speak directly with our audience, and Ello is the only creative social community online. It is more aesthetically beautiful than the mainstream advertising networks. The biggest decision we made when we repurchased SPOON was to make a completely ad-free magazine because we felt this was the only way to keep our publication independent, and free from commercial pressure."

About SPOON - www.spoon-publishing.com www.ello.co/spoonmagazine
SPOON is an ad-free, fine-Art and slow fashion photography magazine. Originally created in 1996 as one of the first fashion Internet publication, we printed our first special edition that same year. After 7 issues, co-founders Karine Chane Yin & Patrice Fuma Courtis left the company when the commercial protocol started to conflict with their creative goals and values. They recently re-purchased the SPOON magazine trademark, and they relaunched the version in early 2014.
