Important note: Please read the general rules below before submitting your banner. Otherwise, it may not be accepted!

Submit your banner to the Admins Lavo, Jeric, Love, and Spoon (and nobody else) by Sunday, Sept 20th at 11:59 PM (EST). Voting begins immediately!


Theme is - Friendship Games


For those who don't know, we used to have banner contests every month. The winning submissions, 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 - Especially Season 5 Episode Banners!
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: Friendship Games (The Equestria Girls Franchise)

In advance of the new film it is time to focus of the human equivalents of our favorite equine franchise. The banners can focus on the characters or elements featured in any of the movies, including the new one. There is a compressed date on this so we can run the winning banner during the premier. 
 




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!

So this banner can only have Equestria Girls characters on it?

It has to have an EqG character, yes. I wouldn't complain if someone does a side by side mix of the EqG character and their pony counterpart.

I'm waiting to see the Friendship Games banner when the movie premiered on the 26th, hopefully that the Wondercolts appear on the left and Shadowbolts appear on the right I say.
 
I'll vote in the next two weeks on a Monday when it begins and choose the best entry with the best Wondercolt and Shadowbolt player! :)

Since we only received five submissions I decided to not have a vote and will be using all five ... we have a nice backlog of ad hoc banners that I will start using as well.

 

The next contest will be Nightmare Night themed so get ready for that. ;)
