HOW TO SUMBIT:
Only one banner is allowed per member which should be PM-ed to me. If you submit a banner and then make another that you'd rather submit I will try my best to keep tabs, but please don't go too crazy with it. :haha:

Is this going ahead?

My apologies for not letting you know after the 18th, but unfortunately we've had very few entries for the challenge so far.

I'm therefore extending the challenge until the end of the month, 31st July, and allowing up to three entries per person so that those who have already entered may submit again.

Good luck to everyone, get your creative juices flowing! :awrigh:

Good idea!

Becca · **Posted:** Fri Jul 30, 2010 12:30 pm

This is just a quick call to let you all know there's only 24 hours or so left to get your entries in! :frenchie:

Becca · **Posted:** Sun Aug 01, 2010 8:21 am

Okay, time is up and the entries are in! We will now have a voting period which will follow the previous banner challenge's guidelines:

Please PM me ranking the entries from your favourite to least favourite.

For example: [We're pretending the entries are labeled with letters, and not numbers, as not to discriminate or favour any particular entry]

1st: B
2nd: C
3rd: E
4th: A
5th: D

You cannot vote for an entry more than once, and you cannot leave any blank.

This is the most democratic way to ensure a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winner.

The voting period will end on Saturday 14th August so please ensure that you PM me your votes before then.

Now, on to the entries with thanks to all who've participated...

Entry 1:

Entry 2:

Entry 3:

Entry 4:

Entry 5:

Good luck!!! :cloud9:
