[size=1]Whew, I got the month right this time![/size]
Okay everyone! Its contest time again!
This month our contest subject is...
[size=4]AVATARS![/size]
We've never done avatars before as a contest subject, so I believe it is high time we get the ball rolling and start this thing already!
There will be TWO categories for avatars. Animated non-animated. Each contestant is asked to enter both categories, but you don't have to if you don't want to or are unable to.
[i]I'm waiting for a response back from DMo224 (Dave) for confirmation, but...
We'd like to be able to actually offer a [i]prize[/i] to this month's winner. The prize I had in mind was to give the winner(s) a place for their avatars in Tech-Forums Avatar Gallery.[/i]
[b]EDIT: Dave said yes! The winner(s) will have their avatars for use in the TF Avatar Gallery[/b]
[size=3][b]RULES[/b]
[i]Follow these or risk disqualification[/i]
[color=red]EDIT: The boards only allow for the use of 10 images in a post. If you choose to enter the maximum 15 non-animated avatars, you may have to double post.[/color]
--Avatars MUST be regulation size of 80x80 pixels and no larger than 30kb in size.
--[i]Non-Animated[/i]-Each contestant must enter at LEAST 5 avatars and no more than 15.
--[i]Animated[/i]-Each contestant must enter at LEAST 2 animated avatars and no more than 10.
--Keep a theme to your avatars. They will be entered as a sort of avatar 'package'. Choosing a theme, however; is entirely up to you.
--No pornographic themes may be used.
--No obscene language or images allowed.
--All work must be original. Don't steal other people's work.[/size]
When making an entry, please distiguish the category you have entered, and if you enter both categories, please keep your images organized. Don't mix animated with non-animated. You also need to tell us what software you used and what theme you used.
All entries are DUE by Friday, May 26th.
Voting will then take place Saturday the 27th through Wednesday the 31st.
You will vote for the set of avatars you like best.
[b]Please take your time with your entries. [cough]Nubius...[/cough]:p I'd like to see some really impressive work! :D I know we have alot of talent on these forums, so lets try to bring it all out for this contest!:)[/b]
[size=1]These rules are subject to change at any time, so try to stay updated[/size]

You may modify it as much as you want as long as you do it before the contest ends. :)

*yawn
I'm too lazy....and I never did like making avatars.....maybe if I get bored enough...but first I shall make a calendar thing...
Posted by: talldude123
I'll go to school and dig my calendar out of their server.
Can Office or Photoshop read PageMaker files?
Posted by: Death Row
Well, im not certain, about that, but you can probably find a filetype plugin to read them
Posted by: talldude123
I could probably convert the file to PDF or something...so i could read it at home.
Posted by: jaksback
sorry i sort of dropped the ball with starting the voting.....but it shall start tonight and will go on until the third.
contest is now closed.
edit: we already have a winner for the animated avatars only cuz there was just one entrant for that catagory.....
Congrats goes out to Juice Daddy for his Animated Avatars.....now ya'll mustdecide which one o his is worthy......
