Ignite fans, the day is upon us! Your last chance to win one of the sweet t-shirts you saw on volunteers at Ignite Phoenix #7. To be eligible, you need to have submitted an Ignite presentation before midnight tonight. We’ll be randomly drawing three of the submissions and their authors will receive the t-shirts.

Keep in mind that this isn’t your last chance to submit for Ignite Phoenix #8, however. We’re not letting you procrastinators of that easily. No way! You have a full week from now to quit putting it off and send in that awesome presentation idea you’ve had rattling around in your mind. Submissions are open until the end of the day on Friday, September 10.

So get moving and write up that submission! Remember, it doesn’t have to be serious or earth-shattering or bring about world peace. It just has to be something you’re passionate about.

Bring the passion, Phoenix!

In continuing our look back at some favorite presentations, we have to mention Daniel Davis’ presentation Survive Your Commute. Daniel is a local artist and the creative mind responsible for the web comic Monster Commute. At Ignite Phoenix #2, he brought the art and characters of Monster Commute together with the Ignite format to create five minutes of laughter and absurdity.

Daniel’s a highly talented artist, but you don’t have to be able to draw a web comic to present at Ignite Phoenix. All you need to do is be passionate about something and have fun with it. Present on whatever you’re good at. Head on over to our submissions page and show us something that makes you who you are.
