WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooooo, thanks to the awesomely awesome Grave, I got the idea to maybe start trying to do something like this around here! I've got the a-ok from Philly from the Block, so...who's interested in doing monthly banner competitions here? Each contest will have a theme and will be organized by yours truly! Some will hopefully contain prizes, donated or otherwise. I don't think it'll be a problem finding a way to try and get prizes somehow, one way or another.
So who would be interested in this? I know we have some multi-talented peeps on this board and I'd love to see you guys flourish at this! If I think it seems like there's a lot of interest then I'll start putting the first one together soon!

I think the first one will be Buffy/Angel related just to commemorate the board and all of this, but then in the future I've already got ideas for other non-Buffy themes that are sure to be related yet vague enough to accomodate everybody, such as favorite singers, favorite movies, etc.
It should be fun!

Well great, guys! I'm going to start setting up things for the first contest some time in the near future, as soon as I line things up as far as prizes go and stuff. Stay tuned!

I just thought prizes would make it seem more "official" and would give people more incentive to enter. There may not be prizes every time, but I'd like to have them at least once in a while. I'll have to discuss with Phil what's going on and whether or not we have a means of getting prizes donated or not, yet. If not, prizes will occasionally come from my own pocket or by other donations, etc.
Basically, I guess I just have to see what's up, first. If there's no way to get prizes yet and you guys just wanted to do the first one without prizes, then I would be okay with having like an inaugural (did I spell that right?) one just for the fun of it and for the sake of competition.
And since I'm part of the staff here, I may or may not enter my own creations too just for fun, but if I ended up winning I would probably just pass my prize down to the person who came in second place right behind me. I want things fair and fun for you guys.

When is the first competion going to begin? I'll start putting it together as soon as I establish whether or not prizes will be involved, and how I'll provide those prizes if they do end up being involved. You guys should know something soon. ^_^

Having this banner competition would be a fun project - I wonder if maybe it would be better to think of this as something like Banner of the Month instead of banner competition. It would be great to keep this as an ultra friendly Buffyverse Site - especially as so many sites are being taken off line now. And with art, it is such an individual perspective - what any individual will connect with is so very subjective -
I would very much like to participate - maybe your reward would be featuring the banner on its on page for one month -

instead of a banner for just fun, how about a special once a month forum header banner? perhaps that could be the prize special one, where it is displayed for a month etc ??

That sounds cool with me! Phil has the final say on that stuff, but I wouldn't mind getting things set up tomorrow with the actual reward "to be determined". I know you guys are anxious for this just like I am! Details will be up tonight/tomorrow.
