edited December 2009 in General Discussion
Once again are looking for aspiring artistes with a flair for the creative, the expressive, the humorous and a knack for designing cool desktop wallpaper calendar designs!

If you're up to the task then step up the plate, send in your design(s) and take part in Round #8 of our Calendar Design Contest for the month of December.

For this round, its time to celebrate the holiday season! We're looking for calendars that reflect the holidays and the coming of wintertime in all it's glory!

All designs will be due by Friday, December 11th at 6:00pm PST!



To participate, here’s what you need to do:

1) Begin by downloading our calendar kit for December 2009 HERE.

Contents: 1 PSD file with layers for Background, calendar, and grid; a PNG file of just the calendar grid; a few sample images; and the example calendar.


2) Load the background template into the image manipulation software of your choice and jazz up the template in any manner you like. Examples include: using screen captures, real life photos of yourself (keep it clean!), images found on our website, self created elements, etc. - Just be creative! The stock images included in the calendar kit are a great place to start but feel free to find other sources of inspiration!


In fact, if you're bold enough you are not required to use our provided image background. All that is required is that your designs include a calendar grid for the month of December 2009 along with the PWI logo and/or website URL. Keep in mind that judges are usually partial toward designs that encompass the 'theme' of the month - in this case images that conjure up the wintertime cheer with icy or holiday colors that reflect the month and other similar imagery will certainly earn you a point or two of added kudos.

3) When you feel that your calendar is up to par, email your image file to: pwi-events@perfectworldinc.com. Multiple submissions are allowed so don’t be afraid to take risks!

-Subject line: "December Calendar Contest"
-In your email, please include your in-game character name and server in order to receive your prize should you win.


4) The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 11th at 6:00pm PDT. All submissions will be reviewed by representatives from the Community, Product and Design teams here at Perfect World Entertainment, and winners will be announced later that week!


The Top 5 Designs (based on criteria such as artistic merit, creativity, humor, expressions, etc.) will be featured on our website and made available for all users to download.

This month's prize will be: Kirin of Fortune

Rules:

- Send your Calendar design to pwi-events@perfectworldinc.com by 6:00 P.M. (PDT) on Friday, December 11th.

- Do not resize the dimensions of the background template (we need it to fit on standard monitor sizes!).

- Designs must incorporate a calendar grid for the month of December, along with the PWI logo and/or the URL of our website.

- Files MUST be in .jpg, .gif or bitmap (.bmp), .png only. But please don't send in SUPER HUGE file sizes, 5Mb or smaller is preferred, but don't make your image too small either!

- Do not use characters, locations, or objects from other intellectual properties, (Perfect World elements only!).

- Please keep your designs in good taste. Submissions that are deemed objectionable will be rejected for consideration.

-Plagiarism or design theft will result in immediate disqualification and a possible DQ from future events.

F.A.Q.

Q: Can I submit more than one design?
A: YES! You can send multiple designs attached to the same e-mail.

Q: Can previous contest winners win?
A: If you won during the last contest (October) then you can't win consecutively. Other than that, YES!

(more will be added as necessary)

    If you're new at this may I offer one piece of advice? Choose an idea and stick to it, clean and simple with a strong theme is better than super cluttered and random

    GIMP is unfortunately not powerful enough for professional grade application, hence why it is free.

    "Through the darkness light can always emerge, it is only when the unwilling come upon this light that fear takes over. Emerging from this darkness takes more then courage, it takes faith in ones own mind and more importantly in ones own heart. To deny the light is to deny yourself the feeling of true happiness and true peace within your own soul. Denying your own happiness and your own soul is denying all that one has to live for."
