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 February.

There are a few different themes for this round: First, since Valentines Day is around the corner we want to see some warmer colors and perhaps some v-day themed elements. February is also the month that we celebrate Chinese New Year, and since it's the year of the tiger we welcome designs that focus on this too.

All designs will be due by Friday, January 29th at 6:00pm PST GMT -8!


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

1) Begin by downloading our calendar kit for February HERE.
Contents: 1 PSD file with layers for Background, calendar, and grid; a file with the background theme; a few sample images; and the example calendar.
(note: use of the stock images is completely optional)


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 February 2010 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 warmth of the coming of spring 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: "February 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, January 29th at 6:00pm PST GMT -8. 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: Tidal Serpent


Rules:

- Send your Calendar design to pwi-events@perfectworldinc.com by 6:00 P.M. (PDT) on Friday, January 29th.

- 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 February, 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 (December) then you can't win consecutively.

Other than that, YES!

(more will be added as necessary)

    Although the winners of the December Calendar contest can't win, can we still participate or are we totally disqualified?

    "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."

    If only my photoshop wasn't messing around and destroying itself every time I tried to do something productive on it I would give this a go! D=

    Although I'm also a heavy procrastinator... so I probably wouldn't finish in time.

    On a totally separate note - I dowantplz the fash that veno is wearing. And I'm not talking about the crystal love dress.
