"The Greatest Avatars of All Time" Contest...

hello and welcome to the:

"The Greatest Avatars of All Time" Contest!!!

this contest will be all about ATSers creating avatars and having them be voted upon by their fellow ATSers...

sound simple enough???

The Rules:

- create one, completely original avatar (taking an avatar from another site is not allowed)…

- the maximum size of your avatar must be “160 pixels wide, by 320 pixels tall” (this is the ATS maximum standard)…

- JPEG (along with GIF) formats are allowed (just follow the ATS standards: Avatar and Signature Guidelines)…

- don’t post your avatar in this thread. instead, u2u your avatar only to me (this will ensure that the creator of the avatar will remain completely anonymous) and i will post it in this thread for voting…

- as the creators of the avatars will remain anonymous until the very end, any ATSer can participate (moderators and administrators too)...

Voting Procedure:

- i will post all of the avatars in this thread with a preceding number next to each one…

- each ATSer will only be able to vote once (by responding to which numbered avatar you like the most)…

The Winners:

- the avatars (and, of course, the ATSers that created them) with the top three most amount of votes…

The Prize:

- the winners knowing that they have the greatest avatars of all time (or until the next contest)

Important Dates:

the contest begins may 1, 2006…

your avatars are due to me by may 31, 2006…

the voting process will begin on may 31 and end on june 12, 2006…



as of now, this thread can be used for questions / comments / discussion about the contest and the avatars...

please understand that i will post the avatars as i receive them so please don't vote on which ones you like until may 31, 2006...


have fun and good luck!!!




[edit on 5-1-2006 by Springer]

i have received no avatars as of yet...

if you are working on an avatar, keep up the great work...

if not, then get to it

as of now, there is no competition so your avatar may be the winning (one of the top three) one...

i don't want this contest to be a "flop"...

"your avatars are due to me by may 31, 2006"...

i still haven't received any entries yet...

please, please, please, send me some avatars

your avatar could be the winner!!!

the first avatar is here:



hopefully, many more will be sent to me via u2u

and, yes, you may talk about this piece but the identity of the avatar maker must remain anonymous...

2.)

more avatars needed!!!

3.)

i may extend the deadline if people need more time to make avatars...

just u2u me if you think that you need more time...

for this contest, three avatars is great (as i thought this contest would have no replies) but more is better...

4.)


any more (hopefully)???...

5.)

6.)

7.)

the may 31st deadline is almost here!!!

if there are avatars that still need to be created, get them done...

times up!!! (unless you really need a bit more time, u2u me)...

"the voting process will begin on may 31 and end on june 12, 2006"...

any ATSer can vote once...

avatar creator contestants can not vote for their own avatars...

please, get the word out that ATSers can now vote!!!

in the event that no ATSer votes for any avatar, please be happy that you participated in this event...

in the event of a tie between any amount of avatars, a special tie-breaker event will take place...

good luck to all!!!

Err... do we vote on here? If so, my vote goes to the first avatar.

yes, vote here!!!...

we could have a winner here right now (if no one else votes until the deadline)...

I am going to vote for #6 (I am ATS)

All of you did great work on the avatars, but #6 was the best.

My vote goes to #4, everyone did a great job on the avatars though.

hmmm...

the voting process felt like it went by too rapidly...

plus, there is currently a three-way tie...

so:

the voting process will be extended one week, and will now end on monday the 19th...

Ill throw up a vote for number 6.

Not actually able to view #1 though.

My vote goes to #1.
It's simple and not too dark, and very cool looking.

Though #3 is also really nice, I only have 1 vote to give.

As it violates the Avatar & Signature Guidelines.


It's 120kb, and the maximum for ATS is 75kb.

Sorry to throw a "monkey wrench" into the proceedings.
