What are these 20points going to do?

Since we are just starting out, these points would only be a score earned from the design thingies. There may eventually be uses.

Are staff included in this like the design team?

Sweet. Would it be best if it fit the current color scheme? (website color scheme) Or we can do whatever we want?

Honestly I'd like to see something that can not only fit the template of this site, but others as well.

No set colors. Go wild.

@system: I didn't understand your question.

How many entries can we submit?

There's no limit to anything really.

Am I aloud to enter?

I'd like to enter these things if I'm not running them

I don't see a reason why staff can't enter - it's down to the skill of the designer, not their position

Well I suck at tags now

I might try and make something. Also just stickied the submission topic

yes you can enter too

Lol c'mon people 1 entry at least??

I know blanka is currently making one
Im gonna start one off, you making one slip and tricky?

Ahhhh... I was gonna make something but I haven't got any time.

Crap, forgot to do this. Well i did make one but PS crashed. Will make one now asap.

Sorryz =(

What do you mean by an advertising signature

Advertising vForums. A signature anyone can use to support vForums.

Is this ok

Brilliant

Yes like that.

People I am extending the date to August 15th. Ross will announce some extra prizes for the winner.

You can post ur sigs in this thread.

OK, as promised here are the prizes the winner will be able to choose from:

- 3 ad-free credits (3 months/30,000 ad-free page views)
- 10,000 banner impressions for your forum/website
- A custom title of your choosing

Depending how successfully this goes we may use a points system (as slip originally mentioned) so that you can build up points from multiple competitions to exchange for other prizes or rewards. But that will depend on how many entries this generates

Banner Impressions?

I was way too busy to do this but now that you have mention those prizes, I'm not busy anymore.

Entering that in case i get too bust in the next few days. If i won't be busy, I'll be sure to enter some more. =)

I'm not entering cos I am judging.

2 entries so far??!!

Time extended to Sunday.

when is it over.i might put another one up if possible

The GOTW has been canceled due to a lack of entries. 2 entries doesn't really give much to go on. We'll have another trial GOTW in a while.
