Topic: Contest #1 - Fan Wallpaper

OK, sorry I'm a day late, but here are the new contest details.

This contest will involve three different aspects. The first aspect will be the creation of fan wallpaper or loading screens based on the First Strike mod. The second aspect will be a caption contest based on a given picture. The third aspect will be the creation of a forum signature. The rules are as follows:

Wallpaper Contest:

-The wallpaper must be at least 1024x960 in dimensions
-The wallpaper must contain one of the First Strike logos, found at http://firststrike.totalbf2.com/mod_links.php
-The wallpaper should feature only media relating to Star Wars (an obvious rule, but still)
-You may submit multiple wallpapers over the course of the contest, but may choose only one as your final product

Caption Contest:

-Keep it clean
-Only one caption entry per person, so make it count smile

Signature Contest:

-The signature must contain the words "First Strike"
-The signature should feature only media relating to Star Wars (an obvious rule, but still)
-You may submit multiple signature over the course of the contest, but may choose only one as your final product

The contest will run until March 31, at the end of which all material must be submitted to the devs for judging by creating a thread with your name in the Contest Forum with your final entry. This does not apply to the caption contest, as it will run in a thread of its own. Once all the entries are collected, the forum members may then vote on their favorite from each category. After the three favorites have been decided on, the team members will then decide on a single winner from one of these three favorites. After the team's votes have been tallied, a winner will be announced.

The prize for this contest is: http://www.cafepress.com/bffirststrike.42226182 (or, if you're a woman: http://www.cafepress.com/bffirststrike.42226185)

Re: Contest #1 - Fan Wallpaper

There is now a contest forum in the First Strike Community category that can be used to post anything having to do with contests, including Works in Progress and questions.

Re: Contest #1 - Fan Wallpaper

Thanks to the advice of a wise man wink I changed the default size of the wallpaper from 1024X960 to 1024x768. Hopefully that will get some of you guys started on those awesome wallpapers tongue

Re: Contest #1 - Fan Wallpaper

Sounds a good idea guys, keeping the community involved. I am gonna submit one. I am decent with graphics. Anyways, I was wondering, can you only submit 1 entry?

Re: Contest #1 - Fan Wallpaper

Because of lack of participation, the contest has been extended to next month, and there will be some extra details added. More info will be posted tomorrow. Hopefully with the new stuff added to the contest more people will enter the contest smile
