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.

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.

> another free program that I could use?
Yes, Fireworks 4 free demo version which you can download from their website (just type Fireworks 4 trial into a search engine and it should take you there).
I downloaded it at 2pm today, and I've got it for another 29 days and 16 hours before it expires. (It's what I'm using at the moment to make these banners).
And the free time thing is balls. Free time is precious, more precious than diamond.
Use it well my friends.
I saw the Star Wars film when Darth Vader says “Your powers are weak old man” I thought that is was pretty amusing.
