Contest Details:

What are we designing?


Contest is to design a signature that would meet the requirements for Braves-Nation.com.

No larger than 200 pixels in height and 500 pixels in width.


The theme is Summer Olympics '08, if you want to make sure you have an original idea, send vnodnarb a PM and I'll let you know.

How do we enter?


The contest will be open to whoever sends vnodnarb a signature they made for the contest by midnight Eastern time on Tuesday, August 19th. To be specific, I'm referring to Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
We want the signatures to be posted anonymously during the contest, so when creating your signature, leave any tag that you place on your signatures to mark it your own off. After the contest you can tag it and use it however you want, but for the contest we don't want people to know who did what.
Keeping with the anonymous theme, when uploading, upload the signature to a place on the internet that would keep it anonymous. Something like tinypic.com (http://www.tinypic.com/), for instance.

How will we decide a winner?


Soon after the midnight deadline, I will start a thread with all the signatures included in a poll for the community to vote on a winner.
The poll will run for one week before deciding a winner.
Depending on the amount of signatures, the initial poll may be to decide the top two signatures and then have a run-off.

What will we win?


You will win the bragging rights of being a GFX contest champion.
You will also win 2500 BN Bux.


Quick recap:


Contest is open to anyone who enters.
Signature must be Olympics related and no larger than 500 pixels in width and 200 pixels in height.
Upload your signature anonymously.
Entrants must have signature in before midnight Eastern on Tuesday, August 19th.
Poll will be up for one week to decide a winner. If necessary, we may use a second poll to narrow the choices down to the top two or three, depending on the vote.

Any Questions?

Let's change the deadline to get a sig in to the following Tuesday (8/19) at midnight. So Tuesday/Wednesday at 12:00 AM. I don't think we need a week for voting, so we could still finish the voting by Friday/Saturday but give people a little more time to get their sigs completed.

There doesn't seem to be as much commotion for this one as the last one, I hope we still get a good bit of entrants.

The deadline being 10 more days away is probably a good reason for that.

Could be a good reason. I really thought it was this Tuesday, but it's all good. I'm satisfied with mine this time unlike last.

Just reminding everyone who hasn't yet completed one, make sure you get your sigs in on time!

Think I'm probably gonna sit this one out. Haven't been able to come up with anything anywhere near good enough to submit.

Get your sigs in. We'll just add a poll to this thread when the clock strikes 12 tonight.

Is it safe to say we've got all the sigs sent in? I've had six sent to me to put on our server so we can do the hosting of the contest sigs. Last time we had 7 entered. BGarrett is in, GMB is out so those cancel out. Not sure who the other is but I have a guess that it'd be RTS that is busy getting back into school -- moving into dorm and such -- and he hasn't and won't be able to submit one.

What do you guys think about going ahead and getting the poll up? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to be here right at midnight ET.

I went with the Phelps one, it's just really clean, and it was the one that I was most attracted to immediately. I really liked the Asafa Powell one, as well as the Jenny Finch and Rebecca Soni ones as well. Good job guys.

It was really close but I picked the Finch one by a hair over the Soni, Powell and Gay sigs in that order.

All of them look great guys. Good job.

:lol: You wish.

I gave it to Finch, as well, with a close second to Powell.

If I didn't vote for myself I'd be getting shut out LOL

Couple more hours left to vote if you haven't already.

Well, at least I got some votes...

Thanks for the votes guys. I liked it when I got going on it. The cut of the main image may be the toughest one I've ever done trying to get her hair to not look like complete ass.

I have put who I am pretty confident did each sig underneath the image. If I've got some reversed, let me know.

BGarrett7
08-23-2008, 11:42 PM
Good enough for a bronze finish. :)

That'll teach me to do something Anti-American LOL. Good job Mac well deserved. I liked BGarrett's alot too. They all looked good but those 2 stood out for me.
