Welcome to the Nomination Phase of the 2009....
AnimeSuki Banner Contest!

This is the nomination thread for the AnimeSuki Banner Contest 2009. This stage is open to all members of the forum. The nomination process is quite simple:

Look at all of the banners in the next post and pick one, two or three that you really like.
Copy the blue vote key text exactly as it is found above each banner (brackets and all) (e.g. "{banner-000}"), for each one you wish to nominate.
Paste all of the vote keys into a single post (only make one post!). You can post more than once if you need to, but please keep your nominations in one place (so I don't get confused about which post has your nominations in it!)
That's it!
(I'll count the nominations at the end)

For example, if you like the first three entries you would make a post like this:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Example

{banner-000}
{banner-001}
{banner-002}

This is just an example of the format I expect to see. These are not my actual nominations.

Regardless of which of the three banners you pick they will be rated equally, so do not nominate a banner unless you want it to compete with your favourite in the next round. Remember that while 3 is the maximum number of banners you may nominate, you do not have to nominate that many.

If you wish to add the image of the banner you are nominating so that other people can see your choice, without having to refer back to the first post, that is wonderful, but you MUST include the vote code for the nomination to be counted.

This year we have 121 submissions for you to select from.

The next post will contain all of the entries and nomination "vote key" codes.

Terms and Conditions -

You may nominate 1 to 3 of your favourite banners.
All nominations are equal.
Do not confuse the voting by changing your nominations or attempting to vote multiple times.
If I get confused by you, I will ignore ALL of your nominations.
You have until Sunday, March 15th, 2009 at 24:00 (UTC) to nominate your favorite banner(s).
You can also check World Time Server or Time Zone Converter to help you work out what time this is near you.

Eventhough I am not the biggest Code Geass fan, and eventhough I hated the "Oh Geass No" moments between those two, I am going to give credit were credit is deserved.

Adrestea, yours is by far, my favorite entry in this competition.

Good luck to you and everyone else participating!

Oh son of a....grrr. I was informed I got the numbers wrong, and I checked...yup, I screwed up. Feel free to flog me. Let me fix them rq, and the votes above this post will have to be redone so the numbers are correct. Just a moment.

Edit: Ok, everything looks good now. Forgive my counting skills and sorry for the inconvenience. All posts above this one will have to change their votes so that the numbers are correct.

Phew, never thought picking three would take me 10 minutes. Usually, when I already found one good looking banner, I didn't like the font...or vice versa; loved the font, didn't like the pic. It's really difficult, being a banner contest. I mean, this is a long term change for all of us visiting the website. Some of us see the banners a few times a day, every day. I hope the majority of people votes wisely.

Still, 120 banners, that's impressive. Can't wait to see the results...good luck, everyone.

It was suprisingly easy to pick these three out of everyone. Great job and cookies to all three of you ! Larthak - A banner that is both beautiful and funny in a very harmonic way. Secca - The green and blue&white really work together with the mood of love and calmness Zaris - Great color flow, good text layout and a lovley mood of both love and happyness. __________________ . : Join Artist Alike and From Afar : .

I must've scanned the 121 at least half a dozen times. Even after narrowing it down to just 10% of the total number, it was still a hard choice. But these are definately well made in my eyes and are absolutely worthy of my vote: {banner-067} by Ichigo-Sora for effective color palette and ease of viewing. {banner-075} by Adrestea for high-res source and overall styling cues.
