PokeBeach Forums Monthly Banner Challenge!
Hello and welcome to the PokéBeach Forums Monthly Banner Challenge! This was created in hopes to give this section a little "boost" if you will, from its current state. The rules are simple, the contest is fun, and the prizes are SWEET. Without further ado, let me go into what this is about in a FAQ style.
Q:So what is this Monthly Banner Challenge about?
The premise of this is that any forum member can take the monthly challenge and make a banner based on what the challenge entails.
All you have to do is submit it, no sign ups or commitments are needed. At the end of the month, the three judges will select the banner they found the best, and that person will be the winner for that month.
Hopefully, if this month proves to be successful, we will continue for months to come with new challenges and banners created each month.
Not only will you get to sport around the title of a Monthly Banner Contest winner, but a competitive pokemon* will also be given out to the winner, if they would like. The winner would just PM me after the results were announced, I will give them a list of pokemon to choose from (its quite lengthy), and they can pick whichever they choose.
*Needs to have a Nintendo DS, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum game cart, and a Wi-Fi connection
Q:If we turn in a banner, can we go back and edit it and submit a new one before the month is over?
Of course! We will only put all the banners together after the contest for the month is over. If you can get it in before we compile them, then you're fine.
Q:Can we use images from Deviant Art?
You can, you will need written permission and a screenshot from whoever the image rightfully belongs to. If you drew it yourself, this is of course, not needed.
Q:Can we use a banner that we made in the past?
If it meets all the requirements of the challenge, yes, but we would prefer you to make something completely new for the spirit of the competition.
Q:So how will our banners be judged?
Well, to be perfectly honest, their wont be any scores or explanation for the banners. We will simply look through all of them, and pick the one that in our opinion, is the best based on the challenge given.
If you have a question regarding the tournament, feel free to post it and they will be answered to the fullest extent
Now, lets move on....who are the judges you might ask?
