Entries is essentially the main event for Graphic of the Month. We've posted our Informational thread explaining the event and its system as well as our Showcase thread which will contain all previous battles we've hosted for each month and the winner of it. However, Entries is where you can compete to win the Graphic of the Month event including the Graphic Master award. We will announce the rules and theme(s) so you can get started on designing your artwork. All submissions will be made through this thread and at the end of each month, the three judges (Maxim, Novica, and myself) will decide on the winner and the Showcase thread will be updated with the new content. It's simple and easy so let's get started!
Award:

Requirements
- 0% warning status
- Minimum of 50 posts
- Has not received the Graphic Master award previously
Rules
- No unresolved (proven guilty), Deal Disputes open. Unlike MOTM where things like this are not needed to be mentioned because users would not vote for a scammer to be the Member Of The Month, we have to. You are welcome to resolve them and then participate.
- No collaborations allowed - The award will be given out to only one winner each battle. Also, you should be judged by your work alone. Collaborations would make it unfair since it's an effort of two or more.
- Your work files must be saved and ready to be presented if requested by any judge. This is for us to be able to check the validity of your work if stolen art have been used and edited.
- You are however allowed to use resources in your work such as patterns, renders, etc. There's a difference between stealing work and using resources in your own work.
- You are only allowed to submit one entry, if you post a second you must make it clear which one you are entering the battle with.
- No usernames or any signature on your work. These battles are hosted by Hack Forums for Hack Forums. Your graphics may be used, and therefore it should not have your initials on it.
- Place a background color of #333333 and save as PNG-24 via Save for Web.
Dimensions
- Avatars: 120x150 and a file size limit of 75 KB.
- Wallpapers: 1920x1080 and no filesize limit.
- Signatures: 650x200, 600x185, 550x170, or 470x145 and a filesize limit of 500 KB.
- Banners: 586x70 (Hack Forums) and keep the filesize limit as low as possible.

This month's theme is Valentine's Day and as for type of graphic: wallpaper, signature, or avatars. If you choose to do avatars, you'll have to make 5 avatars for your entry. You may use either the text "HF" or "Hack Forums" or no text at all. Please do not use "HackForums" - it is two words. Keep in mind that although the theme is Valentine's Day related, it also needs to be related to Hack Forums one way or another - even if it is subtle. Deadline for submissions is February 28, 2017.

Is Novica allowed to enter? The stuff he made for the Dawn Innuendo sector would have won for sure!

Not for this theme, no. You could turn it into a wallpaper and try to make it HF related though.
