AnimeSuki Banner Contest 2009 - Entry Thread
Welcome to the 2009....
AnimeSuki Banner Contest! Our banner contests always have a theme and in recent times we've given you the option of sticking to it or including our mascot in the entry. You will have the same options this time: the theme for this contest will be "Friendship/Family". In other words, your banner must: convey "Friendship/Family" to us, contain actual images or elements from anime/manga that relate to friends/family in some way, or include depictions of Kairin our mascot. What happens next?
Terms and Conditions
The Gradient - A broader explanation of the Theme - Since this theme might be confusing to some initially, I wanted to offer a more in depth commentary on it. Essentially, the theme is about common bonds between family and friends. We're not looking for romantic love, instead we're looking for emotions like comfort, warmth, togetherness, that sort of thing. Love isn't discouraged, but it should be demonstrated in a way that can't be taken as romantic interest. Think of things like a parent and child hugging, a family picture, etc. If there are any questions about if your source is acceptable or not, please feel free to post it here in the thread or ask me privately. Keep in mind that I am trying to keep this theme very open. I will likely allow most sources as long as the entry doesn't require a leap of imagination to demonstrate the theme. Two final notes - This contest will be heavily moderated. Any attempts to stir up trouble will not be tolerated. Also, I am fairly lenient on start and end dates (with the exception of poll ending dates of course). That being said, I will post a warning before closing each phase. I encourage anyone interested in competing to not wait until the last minute to submit entries. You will only increase your chances of not being allowed to progress to the Nomination Stage. Let the contest begin!

*****Contest Updates!***** To help contestants with making sure the sides of their banners match up with the gradient, NightWish has created two pages that are useful for seeing how your banner would work with our two major forum colors: Blue and Default. Hopefully this helps everyone out. How to test if your entry will fit properly: Just copy the link for your entry and paste it into the section called banner. Hit set and see the results! Edit: I've changed the default background on the page so you only need to put the banners in now. ~NightWish Edit: Instructions changed to reflect NightWish's changes to the test site. ~Solace Last edited by Solace; 2009-01-31 at 07:28. |

"I've done nothing wrong!!" *hands up* I know global messages exist, but wow, that was almost a 'pop-up ad snatching attention' worthy one' x.x Anyways, the cookietrail led me here. Friendship and family sounds like a sweet theme, I think I'll merely be an observer since this is the first time I've heard Asuki run something like this and check out who Kairin is. Good luck to the rest of you and have fun So knowing there's a theme, last years one was of... freedom? Flight?

Think I'm beginning to catch on now. - One the latest theme was done in 2007 (So Asuki gets a makeover every two years?) - Two, the gradient this time is to be purple, so soon enough the colour scheme will change here a little too, huh @ nightwish - well with the message freaking others out or not, it certainly caught our attention, so it did it's job And the Kairin thread is really interesting, kinda nice to be submerged in talent when checking out some of the artwork there, hope it inspires more shy artists to have a try and show your stuff
