I'm pleased to announce that the following people will be awarded a Filmaday prize or a banana:
CJC - Hannibal banner
Slaveunit - Gameaday.co.uk banner
Dav1d - UKphonetones.com banner
Atomic_Koala - Gameaday.co.uk banner
er-no wins a Gameaday prize for his UKchatforums.co.uk and Filmaday.co.uk banners. He's on fire.
Check out all the entries here:

Well done to everybody who took part, there were lots of interesting ideas, a toon, and only a couple of really scary ones. Watch out for the winning banners popping up all over the site in the next couple of days.

Tony's original message:
Design a banner competition. One banner equals a Filmaday prize. Two will get you a Gameaday prize.
Banners count if we use them. There can be many winners. If we don't use them then there is no prize. They must be under 15K and 468x60 pixel GIFs so don't be stupid.
Focus on our free gifts and items which are near the top of our charts, Get Dotted and Freeola, or UKchatforums. Look for an idea which will entice people to click, or a strong selling point of the product in question.

Not really because Darkus gets payed a hellalot (I reckon)! And if we were getting paid as our job we would finish them!

16 years young... too many years with a computer by my side...

Its hard to get the timing right and the image size right! I have amazed myself at getting some to fit, especially that one with 13 dvd pictures in.. that took over three hours (in total)..
