Hi! Unfortunately, I don't think time would permit me to enter this year However, I'd like to help in other ways... Is there anything I can help with maybe on the prizes? I'd love to offer something like advertising and a blog feature to the winners...

Sure, we're always looking for prize donations. If you want to give me specifics for advertising and such, I'll go ahead and add you to the list.(: We're also doing something new this year, where you can participate in mini competitions that'll vary from week to week. So if you're bored and free one week, you can compete in that without having to commit to the whole season. [link]

hey, i was wondering.. what do we do if we don't know where the resource came from? i used a background for the wallpaper, and.. i dont know who to credit. i got it from a layout i saw, so.. do i credit that person? or.. and, also.. i am ellen. im on aashani's team (:

Ellen. It's really important that you turn that wallpaper in tonight or otherwise you'll be disqualified. Once Aashni does her judging, it'll be too late =/ So please hurry up and submit it. I wouldn't want your hard work to go to waste.

hmm. when you submit it, credit it from the layout you got it from and leave a note, and we'll check into it.

awesome contest but after read all article in your website I understand only a small ==" can I ask this contest is icon contest? and what a theme is this contest?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
TheDesignContest In reply to Baka-Dolphin [2011-07-16 04:33:32 +0000 UTC]
To "audition", you make an icon with the word original/originality on it. Then the 4 of us judges argue and decide over who gets whom on their team. Then each week after that, there is a new round with a new challenge... whether it be a blend challenge, a resource challenge, or a layout challenge. However, after each challenge, people get eliminated. Does that make any more sense?

Thanks for the info! I am very glad that you want me to participate in it. I am going on holidays 20th August... Is that a problem?
I think I'll join the competition :> But icons... Ya know I don't like creating them. But I can handle it, I think so :>

TheDesignContest In reply to hiddensense [2011-07-12 15:47:44 +0000 UTC]
it depends how far you make it, really. The contest will go until very early in September, so if you're in the remaining 4 it'll be a problem... but you'll be able to be a part of the first 4 rounds. I'm sure we could work something out where you could make your round 5 entry before you leave if we need to.
And don't worry, it'll get a lot more interesting than icons

I don't know if I would be in this 4 round, so... (I think I screw(ed?) something up (grammar) in this sentence) anyway thank you for the answer :> I think I need to write in the comment signature sorry for my english.
I also wanted to say that that's an amazing brainchild Congrats to you that you decided to do this competition. "graphic world" on deviantart definitely needs such as ideas I screw(ed) up something again, didn't I?

TheDesignContest In reply to hiddensense [2011-07-12 17:19:46 +0000 UTC]
That's alright, I'm pretty good at figuring out what people mean.(: You won't know if you'll be in round 4 until we get there. Each week there are eliminations. So you might make it to round 4, you might not... it all depends.
Thank you. I can't take credit, really. I got the contest structure from the show "The Voice" and turned it into a graphic contest rather than a singing contest.
And yes, you would say screwed.(: But you didn't really screw anything up.

scatterflee [2011-07-11 21:45:19 +0000 UTC]
thank you for the information; really awesome contest i'm sure i'll try, but i just have to ask; it's only icon? that's all?
if is, does it have any special requirements, except "original" word?
if i decide, i'll put your button on my page, but actually it won't give you a lot i mean it's not so popular.
so, again, it's very amazing contest :> i'm glad people are doing things like that.

TheDesignContest In reply to scatterflee [2011-07-12 15:50:38 +0000 UTC]
thank you.(:
To audition it's just the icon with the word original/originality on it. I figure we leave it wide open like that and see where it takes people. If you get picked for a team (and there's a very good chance you will) then there will be new challenges. So if that makes sense, you're making just the icon to get picked... but there will be more things to make later.
It's quite alright. Any help at all is appreciated.(:

okay, i think i understand. it's all because i never saw this tv show (: so i need to do something! as always, i've got an idea and i'm too lazy to do anything
well, i putted your button on my page, i hope it will be at least a bit useful :>

TheDesignContest In reply to scatterflee [2011-07-16 18:31:08 +0000 UTC]
haha, yes, it would be easier to understand if you saw the show, but I hope it still all makes sense for those who haven't seen it.
You sound a lot like me. I have a whole list of things I need to do and ideas I have for things to make, but I haven't done much on that list yet xD
Thank you.(:

Haha, I give up. xD What else rhymes with hazing? Phasing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ohemjayy In reply to ofthespectrum [2011-07-13 22:02:08 +0000 UTC]
I was thinking grazing, or dazing, lazing (like lazing about), or maybe chasing, facing, Greyson (like Greyson Chance), ellison (getting latin on ya), tazing (like a tazor), gazing.
Umm... well, I could probably come up with more, but I think you get the picture xD

I sure did try to rhyme those phrases.
Or else I'd lock my words in cages.

ohemjayy In reply to ofthespectrum [2011-07-24 02:22:48 +0000 UTC]
well that makes sense to me,
If words don't rhyme, they shouldn't be free.
They should be locked up behind bars,
Where they'll never see the stars.
Again.
The end.
