Contest: Leave your mark on SBN!! Submission thread!

OFFICER737 · 12-01-2007, 02:33 AM

Ok everyone, here is your chance to put your mark on SBN! From the time of this post and until midnight on December 31, 2007 we are going to be having a competition. For 2008 SBN will be doing a lot of exciting things and one of them is offering items to the SBN community such as t-shirts, hats, mugs, etc…. so we can support SBN in style! Once completed these items will also be available in the SBN store for purchase as well.

How do I make my mark on SBN you ask? This is the fun part! We want a new image/picture/logo to put on these items! So here is your chance to design and submit your best work and the winning image will be used for the items. The winner will also get a free gift of one of these items sent to them and the recognition of making their mark on SBN!!

Rules:
By submitting your images to SBN for this contest you transfer all rights to the images to SBN and it’s staff to use the images, alter and distribute these images as SBN sees fit and in the best interest of SBN. Your submissions must be of YOUR OWN work!

Submissions will be judged by the SBN staff (this cuts down on a lot of backbiting and stacking of votes).

Submissions will be up for public viewing and there WILL NOT be any flaming or derogatory comments about someone’s work. Simply, if you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all. There will also not be any submissions admitted that flames or shows SBN in a negative light.

There will be no pornography permitted. Anything submitted that is considered “questionable” will be decided on by the SBN staff.

Please submit only static images. Due to printing parameters we will not be able to add revolving, sparkling and other such effects to printed items. Also understand that SBN may need to alter winning submissions to fit within the printing parameters.

You are only limited to two (2) submissions, so make them count!! Make your submissions within the appropriate thread/posting only please. We do not want to clutter up the board with submissions nor possibly miss a winning submission.

As this is a rather large endeavor, if any issues arise we will work them accordingly. With all that said……..LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Post your submissions into THIS thread!

Will, this was something just basic i was thinking for mugs and you could do a similar set up for hats.

Figure you could have the dark blue color for the mugs and then white or yellow font for the text.

Way to get the ball rolling!

Among regular mugs I was thinking along the lines of the insulated drinking mugs too

It seems to me that you should have a thread ONLY for submitting and maybe a thread for discussing. If you let everyone discuss in the submission thread, it might get a little lengthy and convoluted. That's just my opinion though....

I actually figured making it so people could talk in the same thread would give people ideas of what to do and when the contest is over split to the submissions into another thread for them to be voted on.

Remember to keep is simple since a lot of images never show up on shirts the way they do your monitor.

Not sure a t-shirt is worth what will probably be hours of work. I think I'd rather just buy a shirt. Besides, the second to last logo I created for a forum ended up totally not being worth it, and now they are infringing on my copyright.
