Hello Ladies & Gentlemen - ::
Today begins the first Official Wallpaper Contest for GUNetwork
This means a lot more effort should go into your submissions than just taking a screenshot
but that implies more impressive results as well! Channel your inner designer and participate!
P A R T I C I P A T I N G
What this contest requires is a custom image representing
Gaming Underground NetworkTowards this purpose, it should have the title of the site somewhere, regardless of form (one of the following is acceptable but feel free to try new variations if you feel inspired): G.U.N., GUNetwork, Gaming Underground Network, GUNetwork.org, www.gunetwork.org
Other text and visuals are up to you!
As such, you may include mottoes, logos, titles, quotes, sticky notes messages or even poems on it as long as it's relevant to our forums and not offensive to anyone.
As far as colors, shapes, effects or filters, the only limit is your imagination
You may include screenshots but only if they're your own made, or with
express permission from their author, whom you must clearly credit for them
Should you use fan-art, you have to obtain permission from its original author
As far as official concept art goes you don't need permission,
but you should include the logo of the developer or publishing company
somewhere in the wallpaper (it may be a tiny logo, as long as it's visible)
If video-games imagery is to be used, we should cover a wide range of games
and not be single-minded and/or short-sighted on one singular franchise
( you all know which one I mean
)
This means that although a wallpaper may feature a single game's image in it, I hope we don't see an overwhelming number of wallpapers showing that same game again and again.
This site is for more than a game.
As usual, we will not allow nudity, excessive gore or offensive imagery, symbols or text
The minimum size of the wallpaper should be 1280x720but feel free to go Ultra HD if you can, and anything in between!
- Here's a comprehensive guideline on display resolutions:
How many? There's no limit to the number of wallpapers you can submit, just try to include them all in one single post in this topic, and use [ spoiler ] tags around them to help browsing be manageable and the pics only a click away.
Submissions will close on the 25th of September and the winners announced by the 1st of October!
W I N N I N G
Every decent submission will receive at least one
+1 reputation
We'll have a
Top 3 G.U.N. Wallpapers list if there are less than 20 participating members.
Should we have submissions from at least 20 members, we will choose
5 Winners The winners will be decided by the
Gfx Specialists with the optional help of
Overseers and/or
PaladinsThis doesn't mean that Gfx Specialists, Overseers or Paladin cannot participate in the contest and submit their own banners. On the contrary, I expect them to show us some amazing, mind-bending stuff! However, they will not vote on their own work, the others will. Simple as that
The winning pictures will be included in our
Forumotion Galleries and on our
Official GUNetwork Modding Facebook page.
The member whose wallpaper is chosen as Number 1 will be offered to join the GFX Specialists
The
#1 Wallpaper will also be used in other promotional and official G.U.N. posts
Other rewards may or may not follow
Do it for the challenge, for the satisfaction, for the prestige and for the glory!
But most of all do it for the memories of participating in this event! I wish you all enough free time, inspiration
and good luck to make something fantastic! ... and yes, I'm aware that I've overused the emoticons. That's what we have them for. Deal with it
