Well, a week or two back I was browsing the front page and noticed how unattractive the "link to ng" banners were. So I decided to e-mail Tom Fulp about this and here's what I said:

I was browsing the frontpage today and was just admiring the little things
on the front page. I then noticed the link to NG! Pictures for when other
sites link to NG. I noticed they were extremely outdated and not very
attractive to modern day sites.And there were only two. Here's what I'm
e-mailing you about.

I would like to hold a contest in the NGBBS General section to see who can
make the best "link to NG" banner. The very loyal users of your site would
vote on the top 5 banners and they would be put on the front page where the
current ones stand, and have them credited.

Obviously, in orderfor the this to work, I would need your permission, and
your feelings on this. You probably feel the current ones are fine. But
seeing as NG is being updated so much lately, I thought it's time for a
little change on how we present ourselves on other sites.

If you're not too busy, I would be very gracious for a reply.

Thank you kindly, SMC (SlipperyMooseCakes)

My response from Tom was:

Sounds fun! If people respond with quality banners, we could definitely include
the best ones on the banner page and announce the winners on the front page!

There you have it. If you make a quality banner for people to link to NG it will be posted on the front page, announced on front page, and used by many.

So without further aidue, here's the requirements:

1.) Width: 88 Height: 31
2.) Must be quality material (better then the current ones, we don't want mediocre work)
3.) Must be done by you obviously, not stolen.
4.) Must represent 'Modern Day Newgrounds'
5.) In order to enter, you must post them in this thread.

The top favorites will be voted on in another thread, and e-mailed results to Tom.

Have fun, and good luck!

There is no deadline as of yet, but I'd say no later by the end of March.

I'll post an offcial one later.

Are we allowed to use any images from Newgrounds.com, or is it necessary that the banners are 100% self designed.

Nope.

But don't submit a bunch of MS paint ones, or ones that look all alike. It's a waste of voting time.

BTW: They may be animated. But can't be swf format, gif or jpeg preffered.

The thing I hate about banners such as these, is the size of it, there's hardly room for anything!
But I guys I'll give it a try!
