Banner Contest: Episode VI | Return of the Ponies


Jeric

Recommended Posts

Important note: Please read the general rules below before submitting your banner. Otherwise, it may not be accepted!
 
Submit your banner to the Admins Artemis, Lavo, Jeric, and Spoon (and nobody else) by Tuesday, May 26 at 11:59 PM (EST). Voting begins immediately!
 
 
For those who don't know, we used to have banner contests every month. Each time, we had a different theme, usually based around a pony. The winning submission, chosen by our wonderful members, would be used as the site's banner. We now do contests a bit differently this time.
 
Four weeks, four banners
In the past, the winning banner was used for a month. Now, we'll have a new banner each week. For three of those weeks, we'll be using the top three banners in the contest.
 
For the fourth week (not necessarily the last), we'll spice things up a bit. Three things can happen at this point: 1) the staff pick a fourth banner from the existing contest submissions, 2) we ask members to make a banner under a special theme (e.g., an international holiday or other special event), or 3) you send us a submission of your choosing (bonus points if it's episode related!).
 
This also means...
 
You can use any pony (or ponies) you want
In the past, we allowed only certain ponies to be used in each contest. For example, one month was all about Applejack. Another was about the CMC. The rationale behind this was simple: to give less popular ponies a shot at success. But that was when we had one winner. Now that we have four (three for the contest, and one for the bonus), that's much less of a problem.
 
Finally...
 
Don't hesitate to send us banners outside of contests!
Seriously, we love it when you send us banners! If you want to show off your creative talent, that fourth slot could very well be yours. Go nuts!
 



General rules and submission instructions

 

- Banners should be approximately 1000x255 pixels and saved as a .png file. More info here

 

- Send contest submissions to the Admins (and nobody else) via PM
 
- Send bonus (fourth week) submissions to all the admins in one PM. This can be done at any time during the month
 
- One entry per member

- All entries must adhere to the current theme, but creative liberties may be taken (to fit an airing FiM episode, for example)

- Anyone who wishes to edit an entry that has already been sent may do so, as long as the revised version is submitted by the deadline

- 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 winners have been announced. Although we can understand your excitement to show others your hard work, please keep them under wraps
 



This month's theme: Artists Choice!
 
- Just do your thing 
 
- Go ... hurry ... get her done. 
 
If you have any other questions or comments, let us know down below.

And so, without further ado, let's begin. Good luck and have fun!

Okay, so I got this banner I made months ago, but I never got the time to ever submit it. Really glad thatI finally can! I've been waiting for a round where the artist can choose what they want.

 

Good luck to everybody! :yay:

The recent banners have been absolutely splendid, and I adore this new system of banner rotation and selection.  Best of luck to any and all artists who participate in this month's banner contest, and can't wait to see what you all come up with!  :muffins:

Your PM will display a read time stamp. Also you could send a PM requesting confirmed receipt. The Admins don't bite ... promise.

Nice it's been a long time since I last submitted a banner and that was way back before they changed the whole layout of the forums.

Annnnnnd, submitted. 

Can't wait for voting day for my self-esteem to be crushed.

I feel you friend. I can't wait for the same to happen to me.

Let's see what we can do with our new banner on this site. You said "Episode IV: Return of the Ponies" may refer to "Return of the Jedi" from Star Wars.

 

Do an excellent work on it and hurry until the contest is over!  :D

A little over a day left guys. We have many phenomenal submissions can't wait to throw them all up for voting.

 

Look for the next contest shortly after this one closes. Here's a hint ... 100 Episodes!
