For those of use of an artistic bent, feats of strength, stamina or engineering are not our forte, so we must find a way to shine in our own way. We will be running an art contest!
We need a new background for our website that encapulates the theme or energy of Fragapalooza. Our colors are Green (#afdf34) and Orange (#d9760d)
The rules are thusly:
1) Digital images only
2) Keep it civil, clean and fun
3) Recommended 1600x1200 image resolution or larger
4) Our primary website colors are various shades of black (and sometimes very, very dark grey), Green (#afdf34) and Orange (#d9760d)
5) Staff will judge the first round of submissions
6) Finals winner will be selected by the crowd during closing ceremonies
If we have a decent number of submissions, or the winning piece is of a sufficient quality the prize will be a 24" monitor. Otherwise a suitable substitute will be selected.
We look forward to your beautiful artistry!
Congratz to PilotCX7 (on the right) with your master engineering skills! And also enjoy that HD Prize!
