"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE - FEBRUARY BANNERS"

Blimey, that was a task and a half. Well done to all who entered, the standard of banners has gone up significantly since the last competition, so I look forward to the next one (as long as I don't have to judge it).

It was a tough decision to pick winning entries, but we narrowed it down to 3. You'll notice that the winning banners are quite simple and effective, fancy stuff is all well and good but when you've only got 15k to play with, you need to sacrifice it sometimes. Okay, enough waffle, the winners are...

Funkygamer for his Comanche Banner
Gabbo for his GetDotted Banner (fifth from top)
Natbuc for his Monsters Inc Banner (blue)

You all win the DVD of your choice from our database, up to the value of £25 - congratulations! Special mention must got to all the people who submitted loads and loads of banners and didn't win, sorry about that! And I apologise for ending the competition slightly early, I wanted to get it finished for the weekend for you.

Cheers
Ali

Some Geocities links may need a www inserted to make them work, it's an eternal mystery to me. I'm judging this as we speak.



Ali - please organise this.

1 banner used = FAD prize
2 banners used = GAD prize

Give url's and Ali will make them into hyperlinks in this thread.

Rule 1

Banners must be commercially inspired for the purpose of generating income and profit to Special Reserve or Freeola. i.e. Please do not design banners for UKcheats, Gameaday, Winacar etc. Design banners for SR Membership, Maxx, products we sell, Get Dotted, Freeola, Ram, PC parts - anything which is a source of income to us.

Rule 2

Banners must be under 15k, Indexed gif, 468 x 60 pixels. You can submit RGB gifs but better if they are "indexed" as they will apparently come up smaller.

Thanks in advance. Good Luck.

Well done to the winners, and I can see that they definately deserved their GAD/FADs. Thanks for putting my banners into the links on the original post. I think this has been one of the funnest competitions I've had the pleasure to partake in on here, next to the "Design an SR Tower" compo.

Hey, thanks for all your support guys.

I have to admit, some of your other banners (to the winners now) were better than those chosen, but it's SR who choose. Congrats!

Thanks er-no for your support too. Pity you weren't judging this :)

Never mind, I've had some practise for the next banner comp (if there's gonna be one), and I've got these banners all ready anyway.

I disagree, they were top notch!

Yeah, I really thought Edgy should have and would have won!

Congrats to Edgy, Natbuc and Gabbo.

Thanks a lot for choosing one of my banners, glad you liked!

Cheers SR people.....so the prize is a game or DVD up to £25 or just a DVD?

Well done to all...

However my views agree with er-no...
they're not exactly the best

Well, my personal opinion is that the banners picked which have won aren't actually that good.

I am entitled to my opinion. However, well done to all entrants, Edgy deserved something as he had some good ideas.

Ali? Would SR use any of these entered banners later in the coming months? for example, the GameCube game ones of the Virtual Britney one? Just asking. :)

Anyways... well done.

Winners have been announced, see original post. Sorry to all those who have not yet entered, it's too late!

I can't wait until Midnight I'm afraid, the competition is pretty much over.
