The February Banner Contest continued the “blind voting” theme and it wasn’t even close.  We usually have a competitive vote however this time Falcon C won by 27 votes bringing in 68% of the total vote.  His entry was so inspiring that Beeavision from the Art Division added a special effect giving the banner moving water!  Officer G.I.*Eddie took second place with 22% of the overall vote.  You can view Eddie’s entry at the bottom of the page. Will Banner heavyweights Fled74 and Footloose get back on the winning track or will Falcon C make it two in a row.  Perhaps somebody else will win the contest?

Rules and Regulations:

1. The submission must be done by the USER and no one but USER.

2. The submission must be in the correct size/aspect ratio: 920px by 322px. You can use any free editing program to crop your image to this size/ratio. Any image submitted outside of this size/ratio will be discarded.

3. The USER submitting the image releases all rights to the submitted image, giving The Fighting 1:18th full usage rights.

6. You may re-submit a NON-winner banner up to (3) additional times.

7. To submit an entry into the banner contest you must create a NEW thread in the Banner forum with the title “USER’s banner entry for the month of xxxx”. Where USER is your forum name, and xxxx is the upcoming month. Any entries not submitted in this fashion will be discarded.

8.  Please send Major Blood the images for any entries. We will be doing a “blind voting” this time to give it a trial run. If it works out, this will be the standard. Make sure the entry is hosted. If not make sure the dimensions are correct and Major Blood will host it. Dimensions are 920×322

We are fast approaching a new month and look forward to your entries!  Thanks for contributing and making our site even more interactive!
