Welcome to the first contest to ever hit the Southperry forums. In case some of you haven’t heard, I am the newest member of the Southperry team and my job will be coordinating contests and events such as this one. I am excited to have one so soon after joining the team here, and especially during the holiday season. I couldn’t think of a better time to hand out gifts to the Southperry community.
I have spent a bit of time reading through threads here and realized that many of you are very passionate about the idea of creating a new logo for Southperry. Even those of you who aren’t artistic showed great interest and support for someone to design a new logo. The entire community will have a hand in this so I hope everyone takes the time to read everything in this post. The artists, of course, will be submitting their work and the rest of the community will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite submission. Now, onto the rules…….
[SIZE="4"]
The content MUST contain “Southperry.net” visibly and clearly.
File size of submitted logo should NOT exceed 60k.
Dimensions should be approximately 105 high and between 385 and 700 wide.
Preferred file format is png.
All submissions become property of southperry.net whether "winning" or not.
No guarantee of a winner being selected. (In other words, the current logo may or may not be changed even after the contest.)
We reserve the right to change the logo back at any time, or to use any number of the submissions at any time regardless of whether they were the grand prize winner.
ALL submissions will be PM’ed to ME and ONLY me and are NOT allowed to be posted anywhere on this forum. (I want this contest to be fair and without bias. Since I don’t really know any of you, I will be the best one to hold this information. NONE of the other MODS will know who created the artwork until the rest of you do.)
Please refrain from handing out constructive criticism until after the contest is over. (Again, I don’t want anyone to have a clue which artwork belongs to which member.)
If any contestant is found doing anything against the rules, they are automatically disqualified.
Submissions must be PM’ed to me no later than 11:59 pm PST on December 19th, 2010. Late submissions will not be accepted for any reason.
Please keep all posts in this thread ON TOPIC!
Most importantly, HAVE FUN with it and be creative.

Prizes are yet to be determined because it will depend on the amount of submissions I receive. For instance, if I only receive 10 submissions, I will share all 10 submissions with the MODS and they will vote to find out which 3 the community will vote on and there will only be ONE grand prize winner. If I receive 30 or more submissions, I will share all 30+ submissions with the MODS and they will vote to find out which 10 the community will vote on and there will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. I want to be fair and I also want to attract as many people as I can to this contest. The more submissions we have the more chances you have to win something.
• December 20th, 2010, I will be making a thread only the MODS can see with images with numbers beside them in a poll thread. No one’s name will be attached so the MODS will only be voting for which one they like the most.
• December 24th, 2010 @ 11:59 pm PST, the polls for the MODS will close.
• December 26th, 2010, I will put up the top artwork voted by the MODS.
• December 30th, 2010 @ 11:59 pm PST, all polls will close for good.
• December 31th, 2010 I will announce the winner/s and hand out the prize/s……..HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Feel free to ask questions either here in the thread, or via PM. I would prefer that questions mostly be posted here so questions won’t be repeated and so I won’t have to answer the same question multiple times.
AND…………GOOOOO…………………………..
