All submissions: This page.

Congratulations!

Thank you to all that contributed!

Elftown is getting ready for this years Christmas. There are many competitions going on and among them we have decided to host a Front Page image competition too.

During the last two weeks of December and first of January the image seen on the Front Page when logging in will be changed to a more Christmas related image for each and every Elftowner to enjoy.

Since this is an official contest, images must be added here in order to participate in it.

Rules:
The images have to be made by Elftowners and posted here by the original author. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here without the artists permission.

Themes:
We are looking for images that portray the way you see Christmas in our friendly little town. Be imaginative! After all, nobody sees Christmas the same way. ^_^

Size:
Try to make the images as wide (800px) as the current page or scalable to that size and write where to put the login-form and generally what the FrontPage should look like. (Like: Put the login-form below the image)

How to add it here?:
Add the link to your image after the last one that has been already posted here. Don't forget to write the authors Elftown username after it too (Drawn by...).

In order to bee able to upload those images to Elftown ask any member of the council for priviledges to do so.

Closing date:
On December the 21st we will consider that there has been enough time given and will accept no more entries.

Note:
The Christmas FrontPage image will be picked out by the Elftown crew among all those presented and a surprise awaits for the winner.

3. [Sepharin]- Since there are way too many fine lines pertaining to copywrite rules, especially in this case, I have taken the liberty of removing this image from both this and the image contests. Let it henceforth be known that any art I do HAS BEEN DRAWN by another artist, and merely COLORED by me. I was under the impression that that was ok for this contest, but apparently I was wrong. So I just will remove them, accept my "absolution" and do as Anonymous has requested of me. Which, by the way, starts now, as the members I have reported of late were just out of boredom, and not pertaining to this incident.

4. [liiga] - This is the downscaled image.

Here's how it could look on a webpage (without the Angelfire adverts, of course ^^;): http://www.angelfire.com/art2/bilzhuki/ET_xmas/xmas_front.html

5. [May-lea] Ok, there you go people. Several day's work worth that is...*sigh*

2003-12-09 [Cristina]: Wohooooooo! ^___^

2003-12-10 [Bratt]: SO you guys want a picture of Elftown at Christmas? or any Christmas scene?

2003-12-10 [Cristina]: Elftown at Christmas would be nice but it's the artist who decides :-D

2003-12-12 [Resiska]: the front page would be our login page, correct? message me... [Resiska]

2003-12-12 [Calico Tiger]: Yes. It's the login page

2003-12-12 [Resiska]: oki doki...i'll join in the fun now that I am on X-mas break until January

2003-12-12 [The Blonde Witch]: wow, nobody has entered at all?

2003-12-12 [Calico Tiger]: Not yet. Several people have said they're working on an image for it, tho.

2003-12-12 [Sepharin]: i am ^______________^

2003-12-13 [spincrus]: This particular piece I find is really hard to make, you know. First of all, it's gonna appear in the first page. In addition to that, it requires so much detail to actually draw a whole town. And when it comes to me, I do it completely using a mouse!

2003-12-13 [Adnama]: The picture of the red haired mouse with "happy holidays" written on it is mine :o.. I'm new to elftown and I don't really know how to attatch my name to it :x

2003-12-13 [Calico Tiger]: Click on the "edit this page" button. Underneath the image's url, just put your name exactly like this: [Adnama]

2003-12-13 [Resiska]: cute!

2003-12-13 [Sepharin]: yeah, it is cute, but isnt she supposed to show how it would fit on the frontpage?

2003-12-13 [liiga]: probably it'd have to go smack in the middle? seems like a logical assumption as no other indications are given.

2003-12-13 [Sepharin]: -.- not nesessarily.. and she still has to choose the font for Elftown and the borders, if any, and everything like that

2003-12-13 [liiga]: yeah, a point.

2003-12-13 [Sepharin]: i mean, thats whats keeping all the rest of us up so late as far as submitting goes... we have to design the entire front page, not just the image...

2003-12-13 [liiga]: well not all the rest. I'm still far from done w/ the image. :P

2003-12-13 [Adnama]: I thought that only an picture was needed. :o.. Thats what it said at the top of the page in the competition description. If it's not what is required then i'll only inter it into the christmas image contest :x

2003-12-13 [spincrus]: you'll have to design the rest of the page, but I'd say leave the image here, it's lovely :) actually I guess you can enter it into both competitions. any rules against that?
