Entries are essentially the main event for the Graphic Master Battle. 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 (iHydra, 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 granted:

Requirements

• No excessive warning level
  
• Minimum of 50 posts
  
• Has not received the Graphic Master award previously
  

Rules

• No unresolved (proven guilty), Deal Disputes open.
  
• 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.
  
• Entries must be in PSD or AI format. Your work-files must be provided to be approved.
  
• We reserve the rights to not pick a winner if there's not enough eligible or satisfying ones.
  

Dimensions

• No hard limit. Use what you think looks good. Not too big, not too small.
  

For the battle of December you will be creating a tag/banner for Omniscient. He is working on a project for marketplace sellers which you can read about here: "Question for sellers".
If i would sum it up; sellers on Hack Forums, will be able to be part of an official program where they get to use a piece of graphics on their thread saying that they are officially a part of the program.
The program is to include a Hack Forums upgrade together with their product or services and in return they will get cheaper advertisement. It will most likely be for the more expensive
packages of products, and which upgrade (leet/epic/uber) is up to the seller to disclose. Now we need your help to make the official graphics to use for those who participate in the program!

IMPORTANT! The banner or tag, should include "Official Marketplace Upgrade Partner, Free Upgrade with Purchase". Here are some examples, but not limited to. This is an fairly easy way to obtain
the very rare award that is the Graphic Master award. So, we are therefore asking you to make two submissions/versions. It might be a good idea to make two different kinds of the same type.
To have more options to choose from.

Good luck to everyone who is participating.

Feel free to message any of us (Hydra, Novica and myself) if you have any questions.
But it is better to post to clear things up for everyone if there is something.

Good luck!

Apologies, must’ve skimmed over it. Hopefully I can get a submission in.

Good luck with this.

Added a countdown to the thread. That should do. :]

Awesome contest! I'll sure give this thing a shot. Here goes nothing! Good luck to everyone entering and thanks for posting this cool event!

This is the shortest Graphic Master Battle to date. Only 10 days left -- that is because the tag/banner is easier to make than thread designs for example.

I am not so sure if this is what you want here. Please leave me some feedback and I'll be back with more :)

Well not feedback, just if this is what you are looking for in a way :p

[Omniscient]

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with for this. Thank you.

Pretty simple battle topic. Everyone who "designs" could easily make something for this one. Best of luck!
