    $5,500 Adult Webmaster Empire Banner Design Contest

    $5,500 Adult Webmaster Empire Banner Design Contest


    Here's the drill:

    1. Design a UNIQUE 624x80 AWEmpire banner using our logo and your own design elements (You'll have approximately two hours from the time of this post, the contest starts at 5:00 PM PST) You may check the official PST time hereto avoid confusion.

    2. Put it in your sig and leave it there until the 15th of March. Make sure to have the banner link to www.awempire.com/bannercontest (otherwise you won't be eligible for winning).

    3. Wait until 5:00 PM PST then post your AWEmpire username in this thread.

    4. If you're among the first 50 people to post their AWEmpire username in this thread & leave the banner in their sig until the 15th of March, you'll receive $100!

    Here's the best part:

    There's a $500 first prize for the Best Banner! We'll choose one banner as the best banner of the contest and will reward its designer with $500!

    What kind of banners are we looking for?

    In addition to our logo, you may use any LEGAL element in your banner (including the O RLY owl, may he rest in peace). We have one request, though:

    HAVE FUN WITH IT!

    We'll even host the banner for you?

    ?so you won't have to worry about paying for hosting the banner ;)

    -We'll be back in this thread 15 hours from the start of the contest (8 am PST tomorrow) to save the winners' banners on our server.

    -After which time you may change the image source url in your sig code from your own server's to ours.

    Here's how:

    -We will post a list of those who were among the first 50 people to post their AWEmpire username in this thread and WON.

    Check for your username on the winners' list and note the number next to it. That will be your banner's filename on our server.

    For example if you see this on the list:

    15. yourgfyusername

    It means you were the 15th winner, therefore your banner will be hosted on our server as http://promo.awempire.com/15.gif or 15.jpg (depending on the extension you used)

    Don't worry, we'll be in this thread to help. :P

    Download our logos from these locations:

    http://awempire.com/bannercontest/awe_2color.tif

    http://awempire.com/bannercontest/awe_32bit_logo.tif

    http://awempire.com/bannercontest/awe_32bit_logo.jpg

    And here are the elements:

    (Oh, that's right?YOU will be providing these according to your imagination)

    Additional rules of this contest:

    -The contest starts at 5:00 PM PST (Which means you'll have approximately two hours from the time of this post to design a 624x80 banner(please limit file size to 250k), throw it up on a server, put it in your sig and have it point to www.awempire.com/bannercontest)

      Excellent contest guys!

      Don't want to seem like a downer, but maybe the contest should be a tad longer?
      It's the slowest time of day here in N.America as those that work are mostly on their way home, going to dinner, etc.

      I'm sure if you make it 24 hours you'll get quite a few good entries and give the designers enough time to come up with something great.

      Anyhow, good luck to everyone who enters

                      I am a little confused by this, does this mean you still need to hit your minimum payout in order to recieve the prize(s)?

                        No, not at all.
                        The prize will be paid out on the 16th of March regardless of your awe revenues. It will be sent out via the payment method chosen in your AWE "payment settings".

                                I think the confirmation email got stuck somewhere in the middle, might be a spam filter... Anyways, i just approved your account, so you are good to go!

                                        Pretty one, I like it! And it was really fast too, maybe we should make a separate contest for the fastest designer too

                                        Seems like the others are sleeping...

                                              This is a FUN contest...you don't have to be a designer to enter. Work on the sig code, though John

                                                              step 1. START WORKING ON THE BANNER.

                                                              step 2. WHEN YOUR BANNER'S READY, PUT IT IN YOUR SIG

                                                              step 3. BE AMONGST THE FIRST 50 TO POST YOUR AWEMPIRE USERNAME IN THIS THREAD STARTING 3PM PST FEB 23rd.
