Nohbdy 4,108 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 Update 3: Congratulations to Regulus for his winning banner (#9)! In second place, we have rpc8169's banner (#19) and in third place, we have Dark Heart's entry (#11)! Great job, everyone, and thank you for participating! Update 2: Voting has started. Pick your favorite banner! Update 1: Congrats to Dark Heart for his Halloween banner! It's been a while since our last contest, so let's have one up for November! Since SkyBound's currently busy with other things, I'll take over for the time being.We've been thinking of ways to spice things up, and having themes for each contest sounds like a good way to do that. Basically, we'll have a list of themes (minus the last one), and we'll pick something from it randomly.Submit your entry via PM to Aquila by the deadline listed below. Everyone will then get the chance to vote for their favorite banner in an Octavia's Hall thread. The winning banner will be displayed for all to see! We'll also be listing those in second and third place.If you're new to the banner-making scene, check out this thread and this FAQ. In short, banners should be around 1000x255 pixels and saved as a .png file.Starting Date: Right Now!Due Date: Saturday, November 1st 11:59 PM (EDT)Voting Open: Saturday, November 1st 11:59 PM (EDT)Voting Closes: Saturday, November 8th 11:59 PM (EST)And the rules, adapted from the previous set:-One entry per member-All entries must adhere to the current theme-Anyone who wishes to edit an entry that has already been sent may due so, so long as the revised version is submitted before the due date. -All entries must have the name of the forums, MLP Forums, as well as being pony-centric and related to the show in some way. That being said, feel free to be creative!-All forum rules still apply. Any entries that do not adhere to these rules will not be accepted.-Please do not post your entries anywhere else on the forums until after the voting has ended. While I can understand your excitement to show others your hard work, keep in mind that all submissions that are posted in the voting thread are done so without any artists' names attached, thus keeping the contest on a level and fair playing field.This month's theme: Applejack!Also, Halloween's coming up soon! If you'd like to make a banner for that, please send one in before Friday, October 31! It's not part of this contest, so it can be any pony (or ponies) you want.If you have any other questions or comments, let us know down below.And so, without further ado, let us begin. Good luck and have fun! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,860 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I can't wait until we have a Rarity theme, so that way I can put my ludicrously high standards at maximum overdrive. waitwut Anyway, good luck to all the contestants! 16 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!!

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,632 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I might participate in this one, since there is actually a theme and all of that with it this time..I remember I did the Halloween one last year, so I may pass on that particular one though. I guess it is just purely 'iffy' for me right now. Indecision and all of that. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlight Fan 538 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 I've been thinking of doing a Halloween banner for ages! And yay for Applejack too. I'm in! *starts making entry* 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlight Fan 538 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 Ooh, wait. Just a quick question though (It's quite stupid but yeah, I'm still quite new here). Do I have to draw all the pony pictures or can I use vectors from the internet? (And if I do, how do I give credit?) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inactive_user 367 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 Ooohhh... If I actually find the time, I really think I may want to make something for this! ^3^ Though I am uncertain what particular image size the banner would have to be. :/ Any help on that one anypony? :/ 5 A huge thank you to my great friend AppleGearRising for this signature picture Thank you Apple, I love it so much! Normally I would just post the picture, but as it seems, it is too big to put in the signature here, so here is the link to my MLP personality test results: http://www.bronyland.com/pony-personality-test/?q=OTU0Mnw5NDMzMzA (I am mostly like Fluttershy, in case you couldn't already guess.)

mars 4,862 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 If some of you make Halloween banners, I'd think it'd be cool to also see some Day of the Dead banners. Just saying~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haruhi-chan 486 October 19, 2014 Share October 19, 2014 (edited) Since the deadline is going to be the 1st, are we allowed to make a Christmas banner? I mean, as long as it's Apple Jack? @TheAnonBrony I use FireAlpaca. I also have a mac as well, and it works really well for me. :3 If not, you can try GIMP. It's compatible with both Mac and windows. However though, I had very bad luck with it not working.
