Contest Winner Badge Contest





This contest is over! Congratulations [liiga], you're 1st! [TheRogue], you get 2nd place and [May-lea], you're 3rd! Check out Official Prize Badges to see which badges you can put in your houses!
Check the poll results: <poll:15961>

About Official Prize Badges, I thought it would be fun if ALL badges entered here could go on that page, so there's more choice for people who just picked their winner. The credits will be on the page too, of course. If anyone minds, tell me!

Welcome everybody to this contest. As many of you may have noticed, the contests have been springing up like mushrooms lately. Because of this, there's now a demand for prize badges that people can put in their houses.

Rules:
1. Keep size and dimension within reasonable bounds (standard Elftown badge: 120 x 136 pixels).
2. Multiple entries per person allowed.
3. It doesn't have to be a standard badge, there can be categories, 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize, anything you can think of.
4. Color is appreciated, so is transparency in some cases. Gif-images with transparency can be uploaded via tech.html. You need the mayor's permission, but if you e-mail your entry to me I can upload it for you.
5. It has to be pretty! People should be able to be proud of their badges!
6. Example:

I won the Contest Winner Badge Contest

7. Your own work please! (I used MsOffice97 clipart for the example, so I'm disqualified!)
8. Deadline: March 8th
9. Winner(s) will be chosen by means of a poll.
10. You can't vote for yourself .
11. Winner(s) will be put on an Official Prize Badges wiki page, and will have the honor of getting the first prize badge!

I hope you all enjoy this contest!

2003-09-22 [Blood Raven]: Hmm... cool contest. If I can think of a good idea I going to enter too.

2003-09-22 [yesidiaz]: you cant link from deviant art you have to put the pic in your elftown house

2003-09-23 [Saffron]: yes, or with transparency you can still email me the original version...

2003-09-23 [Thorgin]: I know. The link went bad so I uploaded it to my Elftown house

2003-09-24 [Thorgin]: That's 3 great entries May-Lea. Well... there went any chance I had of winning :P

2003-09-24 [May-lea]: Thanks!!!

2003-09-24 [Thorgin]: No problem

2003-09-29 [Ragna]: Just thought I'd give it a try ^^

2003-09-30 [Saffron]: ^_^ think in time I'll enter myself too! ...no I can't *struggling with self*

2003-10-02 [akhirah]: may lea's entries r pretty good! they shud be used! XD

2003-10-03 [Saffron]: hey maybe there'll be even better entries, you don't know that

2003-10-21 [akhirah]: cud be *shrugs..*

2003-10-21 [Saffron]: anyways I think there should be at least 10 entries before I even consider closing it o.O even though people don't seem too eager to enter

2003-10-21 [tsukineko-sama]: I'm working on one! *waves hand in air wildly*

2003-10-22 [Saffron]: yay! ^_^

2003-10-24 [Sylvain]: like your entry may-lea!! ^__^

2003-10-24 [May-lea]: Thanks!!!

2003-10-24 [Saffron]: there, I made some sketches to inspire you, people, now come enter!

2003-11-05 [Aurinia]: I think this is such a great idea! But my creativity's lost! *gah* I'll try and think of something!

2003-11-05 [Saffron]: that'd be great!

2003-11-06 [Aurinia]: Does anyone know how to make them match the background?

2003-11-07 [Saffron]: ohh pretty new ones ^^

2003-11-08 [Gaia]: I like the one with the hands best. It's a really great idea!!! ^^

2003-11-08 [May-lea]: That would actually be cool if it was three different images with transparent background and not a big huge one. Imagine you give it to somebody who won a contest... Doh... That would be scary to have the whole thing in your description... *Jumps behind a table and hide*

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: lol I can take them apart! Do you know how to make them transparent? *lost and confused* 

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: I can make them transparent for you if you like

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: Ohh please do!! :D Thank would be wonderful! I'll post them all seperatley now.

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: ehh wait, there has to be 1 background color or it won't work

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: *gah* so should I put the one where they're all stuck together back?

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: but I'll give it a try

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: no no that doesn't matter

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: Thanks :)

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: point is elftown uploading thing makes it jpg which has too many colors

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: oohhhh *still doesn't get it* :) I'm pretty useless when it comes to things like this!!

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: ok I'm done now watch ^^

2003-11-08 [Saffron]: tadaa! there you go

2003-11-08 [Aurinia]: Ahhh!! You're the coolest!! Thanks! *hands you an m & m* XD

2003-11-25 [Linderel]: What about badges for those who have won a writing contest? There are some of those, too, you know.

2003-11-25 [May-lea]: For my part I'd just have to replace the paintbrush and colour thingy in the corner by a quill and a parchment

2003-11-25 [Saffron]: more pretty entries! ^^ yay! *dances*

2003-11-25 [Saffron]: um well, this was actually meant for art contest winner badges, but someone could of course set up a contest just like this one for writing contests... (I don't write, my english's not good enough) and of course for some people writing's art too, but that gets too complicated for me, there should be another contest for writer badges!

2003-11-25 [liiga]: ^-^

2003-12-10 [Aurinia]: How many are you hoping to get before voting?

2003-12-10 [Saffron]: best would be about 15-20, but I'm afraid I'll have to do with about 10 (wish more people would enter o.o)

2003-12-24 [Starna]: Yay, well I thought the transparency would work.

2003-12-24 [Saffron]: I'll fix the transparency for y'all before voting time! promise!

2003-12-27 [TheRogue]: Here you go.. I've entered! Woot!

2003-12-27 [Starna]: Hey, I got bored, so I redrew mine.

2003-12-29 [Thorgin]: WOW! There are some great contributions up there!

2003-12-31 [organicparadox]: all great stuff, but grey fox gets my vote so far......

2003-12-31 [TheRogue]: awww thanks troggy.. ::big ol' bear hug::

2004-01-01 [Thorgin]: *hugs Grey Fox back* ^___^

2004-01-02 [Saffron]: ooh pretty pretty new entries with latin text! ^^

2004-01-09 [Saffron]: ok the ones that aren't transparent yet are [Thorgin]'s, [Ragna]'s, [liiga]'s and [Starna]'s, do all of you want me to make them tranparent for you? ^^

2004-01-09 [Thorgin]: Yes please. I tried to make it transparent, but it f***ed it up. Pardon my english

2004-01-09 [Saffron]: ok that's 1 ^^ (or do you have a gif-version on your computer, then it would be wiser if you emailed it to me and I used that one)

2004-01-09 [Thorgin]: I'll check

2004-01-09 [Thorgin]: Nope. No gif version

2004-01-09 [liiga]: Feel free to make mine transparent. :) Don't have a gif version handy.

2004-01-09 [Saffron]: ok then

2004-01-10 [Saffron]: note to self: uploading gifs directly to here doesn't work

2004-01-10 [Saffron]: um thorgin, is there any chance that there already was a thorgin.gif on here somewhere? then I think I replaced it...

2004-01-10 [Saffron]: hey you guys, I put some tranparent versions besides your entries, if you like it, delete your old one!

2004-01-10 [Thorgin]: Thanks Saffron *hugs*

2004-01-10 [Saffron]: np ^^

2004-01-11 [liiga]: Thanks! The .gifs are very nice. :)

2004-01-18 [spiritee]: oo pretty...

2004-01-24 [Saffron]: yay! more new ones! (be sure to erase the text in the final version, [Bratt], then people can edit with their own paint program ^^

2004-01-24 [Bratt]: yep got all the originals and everythingers!! THese are the samples.

2004-01-30 [Saffron]: btw why don't you enter the one with the leaf , too? it's original and I like it ^^

2004-01-30 [Bratt]: Okies there we go!!

2004-02-06 [Saffron]: hm I can make the leaf transparent, but I don't know about the other 3, since every contest will have another name tag, plus pictures can't be a link on Elftown so there's no link

2004-02-06 [Saffron]: deadline set!

2004-02-06 [liiga]: might want to make it bold. took a while to find it. o.-

2004-02-06 [Bratt]: I tried to make them transparent. Wasn't very successful! LOL

2004-02-06 [Saffron]: there, made tranparent

2004-02-07 [Bratt]: yay thank you so much!!

2004-02-20 [Bratt]: How the HECK u make it see thru!!!! ARgh!

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: Do you have photoshop?

2004-02-20 [Bratt]: yes

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: It's very easy then, as long as you've been using layers. if not , it's still very easy

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: the thing is, the bits you want transparents have to be transparents in photoshop

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: Then, make sure before saving that you make the background layer invisible

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: And -Very important bit- save it as a Compuserve file (.gif) Tick transparency, and finish saving. Your picture will have transparency

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: After, you'll need to upload it via tech, or wiki-pages, because it won't work if you uplad it to your photo/drawing slot

2004-02-20 [May-lea]: And that should work. Well it does for me.

2004-02-22 [Saffron]: more new badges yay!

2004-02-22 [Aurinia]: Yay!! CUTE [something wicked]!

2004-02-23 [something wicked]: thank you =)

2004-03-04 [Sunny Silverunicorn]: All art lovers, I'm here to gather your attention and interest into a new event. The Town Herald has started a new section named The Art Corner. So we invite all art lovers to come and visit this wiki and if interested help to keep it as full and interesting as possible ;) Thanx in advance.

2004-03-08 [Saffron]: it's march 8th!

2004-03-14 [Saffron]: hmm some of thse need to be loaded to the elftown server, hopefully [something wicked]'s entries will reappear!

2004-03-14 [Saffron]: [TheRogue], it's a little late for asking, but are those 3 different badges btw or are they 1st,2nd and 3rd place?

2004-03-14 [May-lea]: I had [something wicked]'s entries in the cache of my computer. I was still seing them. So I saved them and uploaded them to elftown.

2004-03-14 [Saffron]: thanks! that helps a lot, the voting can go on!

2004-03-27 [Saffron]: The end! Hope you guys enjoyed this contest, and because I loved all the badges so much, they're all on official prize badges now!

2004-03-27 [Bratt]: CONGRATS!! *hugs and kisses to all*
