Best Footer Image Contest

[lava]

Hello Everyone!

Since flash footers are disabled for a while, I thought it would be a good opportunity to start a contest in search for The Best Footer Image. :thumb: The winner will get a 20 dollar gift certificate from Threadless.com directly from me. Wait... what? Kirupa is offering a prize as well? That's right ladies and gentlemen: the top 2 entries will receive a 20 dollar gift certificate from Threadless.com.

Here are the guidelines:

This is a quick contest - get your submissions in before July 8th!
Your submission should be a jpg, gif or png. No animated gifs.
No objectionable content, please. Think of the children.
The dimensions of your footer must be 300x40.
Your image must not exceed the 15Kb established in the forum guidelines.
Only two entries per person, otherwise it gets complicated.
You can keep updating your 2 submissions until the deadline.


How to submit
Make a thread with your name on it, and attach your images there. The purpose of attaching it is so that this can be saved for our grandchildren to see. There is no problem with artificially bumping your thread when you update your entries.

The top 10 footers will be selected by a round of experts, and we will select the winner through a kirupa-wide poll sometime after the deadline. The objective of this contest is the same as any other Kirupa contest: to have fun! So get cracking!

Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------------
Q: How come it's 300x40? The forum guidelines say 300x60.
A: Yeah, I decided to throw a twist into it :). If you want a sense of what that looks like, just look at my footer below. Think of this as the haiku of footers. :thumb:

[Krilnon]

Why didn't this go into the Contest forum?

[unchew]

Ask Kennedy :P

[hl]

i'm not a photoshop master, but worth a shot. yes i created the background :). i have no idea how, just some experimentation.

[kirupa]

Thread moved ;) You guys who submitted entries should create a separate thread for each of your entries.

[Voetsjoeba]

May the size be 300x60 as well ? Cause that's the footer guideline and I think most people have made it that size.

[2nd day]

i think this is a contest even i can battle in! a great way to learn some photoshop skills!

[2nd day]

maybe it's a good idea to make a combo: footer and avatar... just thinking out loud...

[hybrid101]

I'll send mine after two days, maybe. Anybody can join, right?

[B3NKobe]

I'll send mine after two days, maybe. Anybody can join, right?
Yeah mate.

Sweet as!! Im looking forward to this, I love my footers iv had so so many since being here, ill have two entries in a few days :thumb:

[REEF·]

Is there any particular theme to this :)? I'm a little confused, you're offering 20 bucks on threadless.com, but then you say kirupa is offering the same thing for 2 people? Whats the point?

[SlowRoasted]

so that more than just the top person gets prizes. This should be a cool competition. not sure i like the heigh req but o well.

[kirupa]

Both raf and I are each providing a $20 gift certificate for threadless.com :)

Regarding the height requirement, I'm only guessing it is so that most of us won't submit what we already have created. I could be wrong though.

reefster - not sure there is a theme for it; just go nuts!

[REEF·]

Alright cool - and anyways I've worked around the 40 pixel height requirement, it's not so bad :). I just wish the size could be upped to 20kb, it's limiting as it is..

[lava]

my user name is "nishant", i had created thread and it showed thread created by "nishant" so my entry is right, n wht to do for 2nd submission of footer ?

I think it might be a good idea to put both of your entries on the same post. That way it's easier for us to keep track of them :)

[unchew]

Mmm... and what about shipping fees? I live in Peru... how will I be sure I will get my price?

[lava]

well, the gift certificate is electronic. And sorry, I only have 20 bucks to give, cause I'm actually poor. ;)

[A7RSTR7K3]

I would love to participate... but my footer is more animated than looks. We should have a functionality contest :)

[REEF·]

Those have already been done and rather boring I'd say unless the theme was interacting with the user, which has also probably been done. Actionscript is cool to see, but it gets old. The point of this battle is that due to recent events with the no flash footers rule, people need to test their ability to create footers without flash, and still make them look as good.

I guess it's worth it?

[unchew]

well, the gift certificate is electronic. And sorry, I only have 20 bucks to give, cause I'm actually poor. ;)

awww :(, well I'm not sure if i'll win but... If I do ... can I use 20 bucks for the tshirt and 20 or whatever is needed for the shipping?

[lava]

hehe... worry about winning first ;)

[Jeff Wheeler]

Can I submit my current one if I change it a tad and resize it? It's quite new.

[lava]

sure!

[Jeff Wheeler]

W00T! Yay, thank you :D

[fasterthanlight™]

I think the height restriction is an awesome idea. A little out of the ordinary never hurt anyone. And about filesize issues, just save as a png. My current footer as a jpg was 35kb (got the footer does not adhere to guidelines and everything!) but i saved it as a png.. and bingo bango, 4kb

[radiocg]

1st one

[lava]

that's cool, but you have to make a new thread and attach your image there. ;)

ftl: I really like the 300x40 dimension - it just makes footers look much cooler.

[romanimation]

Hello ! Whops !.... Finally got here ....!

[romanimation]

hey check mine !

[lava]

great... you should make a thread for your submission though ;)

[romanimation]

thanks !

I will be doing that "THREAD " thing soon..!!!

I think the deadline to submit is on 8th july !!!

[renuance]

well...i'm very new to kirupa...so i guess i'll give this a try. here's just a little something for mine.
thanks all.

[REEF·]

Is any one reading the rules? You're not supposed to post any submissions here. Make a new thread and post them all there for easy reference.

:sigh: Foo's

[renuance]

peace out all.

[NeoDreamer]

I really like the 300x40 dimension - it just makes footers look much cooler.
And less bulky. It let's us do more reading on the forum than getting distracted.

[ElectricGrandpa]

yeah it's amazing how many people didn't pay attention to the "make a new thread" thing.
