With any further ado, here are your entries:

Entry #4:





Entry #5:





Entry #6:





Entry #7:





Entry #8:





Entry #9:

Well, those are are 11 participants! Please try to carefully to the entry number to prevent mix-ups

Voting will end at 12:00am on May 26. If you participated in this competition, please try not to vote for your own banner. Pick which you think looks the greatest. When voting is over, I will reveal who made which banners.


Anyway, Good Luck and let the best banner win!

Wow, these are really ALL amazing^^ I think everyone out did themselves. I voted for number 8, but like I said, all are VERY impressive!
I can slightly tell whos is whos, but some I am just BLOWN away from.

*clap*

[SlayerLV]

Wow they're all so awesome I had such a hard time choosing but I voted for #10. Good luck to everyone.

[The Second Evil]

Wow! These are all so impressive. It was so hard choosing between #8 and #11, but I eventually went with #8 in the end. I agree with DL, that it's easy to tell who made what, but it's still fun.

[Lior Knight]

Wow...we've got so many talented people in this forum!

Awesome entries everybody! Way to go! ;D

[Sammie]

So pretty! i love all of them (except mine), very well done everybody! I had 3 favorites, but ended up voting for entry 8.

[shivi1978]

wow all of these are awesome and well done
great work guys
it was a really tough decision between #3 and #10 ...

I hope we will get more banner challendes
even if I'm no photoshoppie I love to look at all your banner creations

[x-esque]

Nice! I had a hard time choosing too - there are several great ideas here. #10 is an interesting take, and some of the other ones show off great skill with composition. Ultimately I chose based on color and image, from what I remember when thinking of "The Gift". #4 has the color of the episode, but also that prominent plunge of hers is what really sticks with me from the whole series. So that's my vote. Because I could only choose one.

how hard! they are all really good and unique!
good luck to all who are taking part x

[shellybean]

They're all so beautiful but I had to go with #7. Even if it's not really representative of the whole episode, it's one of my favorite Willow and Tara moments ever.

[stakey]

I didnt find it easy to tell whos is whos as Im not a big banner and graphic arts follower so Im unbiased which is cool.

also voted for number 10 but I loved so many others! Number fours incorporation of the alien creature was a nice touch I thought.

[KAL-EL]

Good work on these banners!!!!
I agree we do have a bunch of talented people on this forum

[Afer]

Well, I lost connection last night, and I couldn't post the results. So I am trying to do it at school while I have computer time. I'm just lucky my teacher doesn't check on us

I feared a public vote would give people that feeling.

I hope you enter the next one. There is no need to become discouraged to enter the next one. People just liked other styles over your own, but maybe next time people will like yours more. The challenge isn't about winning, its about having fun and showcasing your work. If you feel your banners aren't good enough, feel free to ask someone what you could do to improve. I know I wouldn't mind helping you out. Plus, the next challenge will be a blast, so you don't want to miss out

[Afer]

Yours is entry 5? Yours is better than some other ones! As Andy said, its not really about winning (even though we all want to ) ..Hopefully this should give you a little push to do better for the next contest! You will do fine I better see you enter the next one or else i'll hunt you down

The next one sounds uber-fun

[Kenobi]

I don't really mind. I just entered for the fun of it. I'd never even made a banner. It's just that 0 votes is kinda sad. As much as I'd like to enter the next one, I'm on vacation all next week and probably won't have time anyway. Thanks for at least the nice words. So, got criticism? I need opinions
