Question 1


vi. The intro should be appropriate for all ages. Use your best judgment.
ix. There will be no need to include a Skip intro button or a re-direct to another page after the intro ends. See step vi above.

I don't see how step VI is related to step IX. Will a skip intro button be added in for us? Or can we just make the skip button graphic and let the webmaster of the AIDS site do the linking?

Question 2
I know there will be three winners. Are three intro sites going to be shown on the AIDs website or just one? If so, how will this single movie be chosen out of the three winning movies?

Whichever one gets the most votes.

1. Good point. Just fixed that :)

2. It's up to the discretion of the aids-awareness site. They may even decide to display a different intro each time someone visits the site. I don't know. With regards to this site, the Top 10 intros will be featured in order of votes received just like always.

Hey i just wondered...is there any particular size this intro has to be, or are we allowed to use any size?

[kirupa]

Hey Jason!
Check out point iv: http://www.kirupa.com/contest/aids/infoguide.htm That should answer your question :)

If you are asking about the file's width and height, you are free to use whatever you feel is reasonable.

Cheers!

why such a long deadline? I dont wanna wait that long lol. Mine only took like 5 hours and that was while I was talking...eating...and watching tv lol. Mines not the best or anything that hard but geeze...

[crewman747]

some people arent as gifted as you are lol... like me

im working on one.....so just wait

[kirupa]

Yeah - the extra time gives others a chance to spend more time on their entries. You are also allowed to enter multiple entries, so if you were able to create one in 5 hours, I would hope to see at least 200-300 more entries from you :P

[phantomxc]

eek >_< thats alot lol I was thinking more like 1 more...higher frame rates and more content but still simple...idk...im still drawing it out :-p....got other things to work on too ^_^

Question 2
I know there will be three winners. Are three intro sites going to be shown on the AIDs website or just one? If so, how will this single movie be chosen out of the three winning movies?The first three winning entries will be displayed as an intro to the site on a rotational basis. My hope is, depending on the number of entries, to open a separate "showcase" section on the site to display as many entries as possible. Appropriate dap will be given to the creators of these entries, and links to sites/email can be provided, if desired. Erm... I guess the final details of the showcase are still in the works, but that's what I have so far.

I hope that helps. :D
