which part of 'no particular deadline' are you having trouble with?

You don't need to have that kind of attitude. It's for your own good if there is a deadline. If you need it before october than set the deadline to the 31. of this month. So the designers can organise their time and stuff like that. Good designes come always at last because they take more time. And you do want a kick ass banner don't you?

You should also make a page with the links to the images to use etc. maybe even pa PSD file with the logo.
That's just my opinion.

It's your contest and your money. We just want to make best out of it

Exactly.

Great contest, but you at least need to give us a timeframe. If you say the deadline is tonight, some people will surely carve a few hours into their schedule for it today, and so on. If you don't set a deadline, then people will put it on the back burner until ... well, until you set a deadline lol.

if someone can't get motivated to get started and go get pics for $500.00, then I have no desire to work with them. I'm not in the handholding business. I'm in the paying designers business.

K, just giving you feedback from a busy designers point of view.

Good luck with the contest. I'll try to come up with somethin' cool for you when I get a chance.

MR2 · 09-28-2004, 09:02 PM

ahhm.. so in order to win that $500, i must win both? let's say the flash banner and the animated gif? u asked for two entries if im not mistaken.. what if u liked my flash banner but my anim gif sucked big time? and what if it's the other way around with the other contestant? hhm... so what if no one produce a nice fbanner and anim gif combo u liked?

contestant A: superb anim gif / not so good flash banner...

contestant B: not so good anim gif / flash banner ROCKS!

who's gonna win? or $250 each?

Suggestion: Split the contest into 2.. fbanner = $350 / anim gif = $150 or to whatever price u like. just a thought

that way designers can focus much.

and u didn't mention that if u don't like any of the entries nobody will take the price money so would that mean there will be a chosen one?

MR2 · 09-29-2004, 03:32 PM

who won?

groark · 09-29-2004, 04:15 PM

Uhm i couldnt figure out where to get pics

Sarma · 09-29-2004, 04:27 PM

LoL

I wanted to make the banner so i didn't see anywhere i "guest account" so i clicked the "demo feeds" and that was yeterday. I sent some basic info and look what i got 24 hours later...

"Hello,

We've received your demo request, but need a last name, company name and phone
number.

Thankyou,"

Is this really necessary? So i think i'm out of the competition because i can't wait another 24h to get the password etc. because of the dealine...

It's a good contest, great prize,...but...

Too bad, i had some really nice ideas for it...

Thrawn$ · 09-29-2004, 05:30 PM

wtf? you guys are crazy

when you get a 25-50$ contest, everybody is posting entries

postTopic · 09-29-2004, 09:15 PM

we cant create guest account.. lol... how can we make banners for you?

K_at_fetishbucks · 09-30-2004, 05:40 PM

I was about to enter this contest, just saw it.

check the script that process the form for the demo account, iit doesn't work. it redirects to apptools.com when I press submit.

dig420 · 09-30-2004, 10:12 PM

yeah, I noticed that and that's something I need to change but it's not a quickie fix. I had my guy Khayyam post a few photo sets up above that can be used for the contest.
