"Avatar Design - Extra GAD"

OK, it's past time there was a chance to win an extra gaming prize. We've had a discussion in the office and decided to run the following competition.

For no particular reason, I've never really had an avatar image for the forums. The competition, put simply is just to design me an avatar image.

The winner would be decided by staff here at Freeola based on comedy value, artistic quality and overall eccentricity.

The creator of the winning image will then win a GAD prize as normal, offering any game up to the value of £45 or a £30 Amazon voucher.

Rules are as follows:

1) Please keep if family friendly - no obscenities or vulgarism!

2) The image size should be 80px by 80px.

3) This competition will run until the closing date of the 19th September.

4) You can only win if you have a UK address on your profile (this is where the prize would be sent), however still feel free to enter for fun if you are based outside the UK.

If you email any entries to [email protected], we'll put them on the submissions page as soon as we can so your entry can be seen. Don't forget to include your forum name.

Submissions Page

Well that's my idea done and dusted.

Probably not very original, though.

It's all good stuff so far ... at last we're getting some entries, so let's all keep 'creating' away until the 19th!

If you don't win, it's still a good exercise for creating your own avatar :¬)

EDIT: Nice one pete ... now I've seen it!

That's the look I visualize you guys have if my number comes up on your switchboard.

Wow, I wish they did let us answer calls outside in the sun. The operator looks pretty worried there though, there must be something scary on the other side of the phone?

Cliff!!!! haha It's an overhang in Yosemite circa early 1950's

Right, nearly finished my effort. I took Dean's vocation, mixed it with his favourite death defying pastime, threw in a touch of modern art and then finished it off with a cheesey tagline, the result was...

They've come through now DL and I've added them. I think that the cliff one is really good (made me laugh).

You should do one motomod! It sounded like you had an idea the other day..

Just discovered that the entries come into an e-mail address that forwards to me, loving the entries so far.

I think I'll refrain from entering the competition, I'd probably go too far anyway...
