What do you all think about XS starting a banner competition. It doesn't have to be weekly or it could.

Object would be, created a banner that is tech related - console, pc hardware, software logo enhanced - something along those lines. Just like SOTW, we have a category, time frame for entry, a vote, and the winner will have their banner in rotation in the header for a couple weeks.

Ideas??

EDIT: We may even be able to use that as an advertisement tool...let other sites create banners there and they pay XS...

I was all for it last time we talked about it and I still am. It would offer people a nice incentive for winning.

Would you be willing to handle it or should we spread the wealth. Sorry, it was something I know I mentioned but had forgotten about. Today, this morning it hit me :/ Sorry.

Just curious, we had several other ideas for contests, are those still on the table? The T-shirt design one had a lot of steam at the time, though Pixelina hasn't posted in quite awhile.

Not at all. I could run it alongside the SOTW. Just let me know the specifics (kB size, pixel size, format, etc). Also, do you want to create a new section for it or should I just put it in the "Other Comp" section?

I also like the ad idea...could be put to good use!

Cool. I guess the image size and all could be the same as the SOTW. Yes, I will make a contest forum right now.

If anyone kows of a forum/ forum owner that would like to make an add here, please send them in or direction.

Maybe we could offer the service of creating the banner for them too

EDIT:
249 X 143 (must be that size, no acceptions)
30kb/s
all banners need to have a white stroke

Ok, it's set up now. Feel free to change anything if you like...otherwise you can let me know and I'll do it.
