Good luck to anyone participating.

Minor ammendment to:
Quote:The badge/label MUST read "Content Tester" ONLY.

We'll also accept variations that include the prefix "Official", "SP", "SouthPerry" or a logical combination of the former and one of the latter two.

Should I upload them to some image site and send the link?

Also, how do I make the background transparent in MSPaint?

good question dont think you can.

CONTEST: Make a content tester badge!!! - Shidoshi - 2011-01-30

Is there any free program I can use to make backgrounds transparent? I have submitted my entries with a completely white background but I don't know if that's enough.

EDIT: Ok, got me an editting software capable of making transparency. Resubmitting.

The Gimp is free, Paint.net is free.

Ill take a crack at this probably with a small animated gif or something.

street Wrote:What do we win?

The joy of seeing your work in use and the knowledge that you contributed something people see/use regularly.
The glowing pride of a job well done and the recognition of your peers.
The unending bragging rights about you beat out the three other people who scrawled stick figures in MS paint.

Can you clarify if we are allowed to submit multiple entries? It doesn't seem to say anything about that in the rules.

Also, good luck to all participants.

Multiple (distinct) submissions are always allowed unless explicitly forbidden.

I fail to see why you would think that. Current testers were chosen based only on the effort they put into writing an essay, not due to any special qualifications. Giving someone testing access based on their talents as an artist is no different than doing it based on their talents as a writer.

Well, at the very least, the essay was about why they'd be a good content tester. I'm not sure if the results were what Eos was aiming for, but it seems like his intent was to weed out people who wouldn't actually be very good at testing. Adding someone based on them winning a random art contest would go against that.
