Bleach 12 crew proudly presents our very first contest...

User Image

~* Intro*~
__________________________

As you all know, we've never had a guild-wide contest before so this will be the very first one we'll ever have on Bleach 12. This contest was made to increase overall activity of the members in the guild. The banners that you'll be making is the guild's mini-banner, the one found on the upper right corner of the guild and also guild banners for the members' signatures. The size for mini-banners is 200x40 pixels. While the one for the guild banner must not exceed 500 pixels both in width and height and it must be less than 100,000 bytes. The banner that you will make must look attractive and pleasing to the eye. One that would be loved by the non-members and make them join. The banner must have a Bleach theme and should also have the name of the guild on it. More information found below.

~*Rules*~
__________________________

- Gaia ToS and guild rules apply.
- Never mock/make fun of other people's work.
- Don't copy other member's submission.
- Your submission must be made by YOU.
- All submissions posted after the deadline will not be accepted.
- You will not receive a consolation prize if you signed up but did not submit anything.
- You are allowed to use banner-making sites as long as you're the one who creates the banner.
- You are allowed to join both contests but cannot win both.
- You may submit up to 3 [three] entries in each contest.

Breaking any of these rules will get you disqualified from the contest.


~*Mechanics*~
__________________________

[For mini-banners]

To join this wonderful contest, one must first post here in this thread stating that they are joining the mini-banner making contest for your name to be added on the list of contestants. After doing so, you can start working on the mini-banner that you had in mind. The size of the banner is 200x40 pixels and should have the guild's name on it - "Bleach 12". Then, you save it as jpeg, png, or gif and upload it in Photobucket or other hosting sites. After everyone submits their work, it will be judged by all the members of the guild through a poll that will be added in this thread afterward.

[For guild signature banners]

The mechanics for the signature banners is almost the same as the one for mini-banners. You must post here stating that you are joining the guild signature banner making contest so that your name can be added to the list of contestants. Then, you can start creating on the signature banner that you plan to submit. Make sure that the size of the banner does not exceed 500 pixels in both width and height and the total byte-size is less than 100,000 bytes. Similar to the mini-banner, your banner must have the guild's name on it - "Bleach 12". You may also include other text as long as the guild's name remains prominent. After that, save it as jpeg, png, or gif and upload it in Photobucket or other hosting sites. It will be judged by everyone in the guild through a poll added in this thread after everyone submits their work.

Deadline of submission of entries is two weeks from the time this is posted. If there are less than four entries in each section of the contest by that time, it shall be extended.

The mini-banners will be judged in the poll first before the signature banners. Voting will end after two weeks or when most of the members of the guild are done voting.

I just got the home page contest from Coral Star and changed it for the banner making contest. XD

This is just a draft so tell me what you think. I'm not sure if it needs more rules or not, but if it does, post it here. Also, the prizes are still subject to change depending on the crew's opinion.

Perhaps we should make a banner making contest as well? I mean the guild banner, not the mini-banner, to go along with this.

Sounds fun, maybe I'll give it a go.

If we were to make a another section in this contest just for regular banners, it's just like having a separate contest just for guild banners. But I guess that would work out. I'll edit this.

By guild banner you mean the one for signatures right?

Edited. Added parts for the signature banners and a few more rules. I also changed the prizes for the mini-banner.

Is anything wrong with it?

Yup.

Oh and maybe we can have a separate contest for the crew... you know to remove the possibility of 'when a crew member wins some might think the voting was biased or something'.
PostPosted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:12 am


Or let's just not let the crew members join the contest. ;D

Only a few crew members would actually join the contest if we were to have one exclusive just for us... I think.

Oh yeah, each crew member will donate for the prize money of the contests.

*Starts to dance*
This is great a contest, so in smile Anyhow the rough draft looks great, but it doesn't seem exciting. It wont grab peoples attention--add color, different sizes, and stuff, to appear more in the mood.
PostPosted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 2:35 pm


Yeah, those will be added later on. For now, I'm focusing on the content and doing some editing on some parts.

Do you see anything that needs to be fixed?

Nope nothing particular, but how is this suppose to increase the guild activity? o-o
PostPosted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 2:49 pm


Members would check the guild more often because of the contest. It's sort of something to hype them up since there's no main guild-wide RP going around. Others may become bored in their own squads too, they can join this contest so they have something else to do. It's not really meant to boost the guild's activity permanently though. It will only last for a short time. Probably until the end of the contest...

Plus, it's fun to have contests. XD

I changed the last rule to having up to three entries.

Also, this was the banner I made for the contest. Sorry it took long. My laptop with the Photoshop wasn't working and I also forgot the password to Napi's Photobucket. [I'm too lazy to make my own. XD] I couldn't ask her right away since it took forever for her to go online.

It sucks. I know. gonk
If you want it to be changed, it's alright. Just ask Spiral to make a new one. =D
