Well....as most of you can see our Fan Fiction Section doesn't really get a lot of attention. It used to be an extremely popular part of the board a while back, but it seems to get neglected pretty often. So I started thinking and I wanted to come up with something to get more people involved...then I thought about a Fan Art competition. Nothing big or extravagant, just a little special challenge to all of our graphic artists out there. You would get a certain amount of time, say a week or two(maybe monthly) and you would be given a subject.(Like say maybe “The Gift” as the first.) Then you send your banners to me and they can be posted and judged to see whose the best is. No big awards or prizes, just a little competitive fun. Anyone could enter, and it would be great to see everyone’s different style on the same banner subject. So, what do you think? Would anyone be interested?

I'm in. For sure. Sounds fun, and a great way to get people back into the art of things.
Maybe we could even do banners to promot certain fan fiction, that way both can be shared and highlighted.

This sound's so fun! I would love to do it and help in any way In any case, if the first subject is THE GIFT, then I have a banner I never used because I didn't like it very much, but no need for it to go to waste.

That would be a great theme for some of the challenges! Chosen Prof- The banners would be never before seen, so all the banners would be revealed at the same time

Like i told you i would really like to join, my current program is total crap though and my banners turn out bad when i save them. (even more when i use screencaps)
So i can't say if i will join for sure everytime you do one, i will try though.
And as soon as i get a new program i will for sure.
Apart from that, i think it's a great idea and i can't wait to see everybody's art!

When we do this, we should have a size limit, so it won't be to big and won't be to small. We should also have a few other limits, like, you should host them all, that way no one can change their entries by re-uploading them on Photobucket and such... Kinda the trouble we had with the Bini issues...

It sounds cool, new and fun! Maybe for the winners you could create a type of medal to go on their banner in the corner saying like First, Second, And third in this such and such category... IDK just a thought. Count me in.... When is the alotted time starting?

Hey, did we not have this before? I remember making some season1 banners at one point, just for fun. I don't think i would like to have a banner with "3rd" on it, for 1st place it think its a nice idea.
I'm In!

I think, like the award shows, we should just have the winner get an award... since second and third place, are nice, but not usually brag-worthy.

Kinda the trouble we had with the Bini issues... Yes, there will be many rules. A maximum and minimum size will be set. The date will be determined, and I will host the entries. So don't worry, this will be pretty organized It sounds cool, new and fun! Maybe for the winners you could create a type of medal to go on their banner in the corner saying like First, Second, And third in this such and such category... IDK just a thought. Count me in.... When is the alotted time starting? I thought about that also. I could either create a seal/medal(or tag) to put on the banner. Since We only have six participants so far, First will be the only awarded. Maybe if we get a lot more people involved, we could possibly award 2nd, and 3rd. Hey, did we not have this before? I remember making some season1 banners at one point, just for fun. I don't think i would like to have a banner with "3rd" on it, for 1st place it think its a nice idea. I'm In! Yeah, it was tried, but the people who ran it just let it disappear, and didn’t take care of it. I am going to try my hardest to make this last as long as possible, and believe me, it won’t fade away easily Current Participants: Insanity Digital Leonardo Sammie Chosen Prophecy Sidestrike Afer Would anyone else also like to participate?

Well, I've done some thinking and with a few little things settled I will start the first competition tomorrow or the day after. I was wondering what you guys thought about size and time limits. For Size, I think the Maximum will be 525x185(the size of my current banner, and the minimum will be 400x125. Or I can five everyone one size to work with, but I want to allow for a little variation Size also effects peoples style. As for the time, do you think 2 weeks or would you want a month? I can't wait to get this started ;D

I think the size of your banner is perfect. It gives people the space to use their creativity, with out having it to stressful on the eyes.
A month? I think... 2 weeks is more then enough time.

I think a month is way to long! I make a nice banner in 2days! So 2weeks will be fine for me! Are we doing it episode by episode?
I have an idea!! What about the winner of the previous round, gets to pick the topic of the next weeks banners, but supplies them with a link or images themselfes?
