Hey guys! ^__^ I'm snatching this from my old contest.

[Previous Contest]

Hey guys! ^__^ I hope no one else was planning on making the contest, but I'll delete mine if they do.

Anyways, after receiving permission from Avalith, a few people thought it was a good idea to have a forum Header and Footer Contest! Without further ado, here are the rules!

1.) DIMENSIONS

The maximum height for the header should be no more than 150px. This height was provided by Avalith, so it cannot be changed.

The maximum width for the header is 650px, AKA the width of the current header + 50px, just in case you wanted to go a little bit over.

The maximum height for the footer is 125px, AKA the current height of the footer.

The maximum width for the footer is 400px, AKA the width of the current footer.

-- I chose the dimensions for the footer because the current footer's size is relatively large compared to a few that I've seen. The footer dimensions are negotiable, so if you go a few pixels over it's not like you'll be disqualified. ^__^

2.) SUBMISSIONS

Each artist can submit as many as they want! You might not want more than 5, just to keep the contest short, but if you really think you can do better, you can just submit as many as you want.

HOWEVER, the bad thing about this is you can't UPDATE a piece. For instance, you can't have more than one version of the same thing.

3.) TEXT

The text on the header must have the name of the forum at LEAST on it, just so people know where you are without looking at the links. Even if it's just a small "Harvest Moon DS" in the corner of the piece. It would also be lovely to have "Welcome" somewhere on it, but it's really your choice. ^__^

The text on the footer can be varied depending on what you want to say, such as "Come back soon!" or something to that effect. Be creative, guys!

4.) EDITING

You can make updates and changes UP UNTIL the deadline. After that, no more updates or changes can be made. This is to prevent people from voting on your graphic, then you changing it. That wouldn't be fair. I'll know if you changed the piece because I'll be updating this post with your work, and I'll be able to tell if you changed it.

If I find that you've edited your graphic after the deadline, then I'll have to disqualify you. Everyone who knows me knows that I'm just a big softie and I break down easily, but this rule is a biggie. It's not fair to change your graphic after people have voted, because maybe they don't like the change, etc. So just please keep all updates and edits BEFORE the deadline. ^__^ Thanks.

5.) COMMENTING

I suppose it's alright to comment on graphics as they come in ((As long as Avalith has no objections to it)) but please be tasetful.

Good - That's awesome! Although I suggest you change the font, it's a wee bit hard to read!

Bad - That's HORRIBLE, I hate everything about it. Why are you even entering it? Get rid of it.

You get the idea. ^__^;;

6.) VOTING

Voting - Since there's alot of activity in the forums I thought it would be a good idea to make this a voting contest rather than a judging contest, because there could be alot of votes.

One graphic per piece - You can only vote for ONE header and ONE banner. I'm thinking that I'll make the voting right in this thread like the Magical Melody header and footer contest, but if people have a problem with this let me know, for purposes of jealousy or the like because yours didn't get voted on. For now, I'll let the voting go on right in this thread. ^__^

One person's graphics - It's not mandatory, but it would be nice if you could vote on one person's header and footer. I mean, if you honestly like someone's header but another's footer, then by all means vote for them! But my personal opinion is that a matching header and footer really bring the forum together. ^__^

Header = Header, etc. - When you're voting, a header can ONLY be voted as a header, and a footer can ONLY be voted as a footer. You can't ask for someone's header to be the header and another person's header to be the footer, etc.

Well, you can enter it by uploading it in a site like Photobucket or Imageshack. If you don't want to register, I suggest uploading it in Imageshack. ^___^
