Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!
These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two! But only one member can wear the purple coins and fancy title of CotM Winner! Do you have what it takes?
The basic rules are as follows:
Hidden:
Make a TES-themed smiley (or set of smileys) for the different races found in Tamriel. The winner of this competition will not only get to wear the purple for a month, but have their smiley(s) put into the official UESP Forums smiley collection!
Smileys must conform to certain guidelines to be eligible:
- Must be 24 x 24 pixels or smaller (h x w, 15 x 15 preferred)
- Must be clean (content-wise)
- Must be saved in .png or .gif format
- Animated gifs must be 5kb or less
Our schedule for the July event is as follows:
July 1 - 25: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
July 26 - 30: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
July 31: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, Musicman247, and therefore will run according to GMT -6/Central Standard Time. (Click here if you’re unsure when, exactly, that is!)
Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!
As an aside, if anyone would like to join the street team to help plan and set up the CotM, please send me a PM or visit my wiki talkpage. Until then, have fun and good luck!
(This fun event is hosted by yours truly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them within this thread or by sending me a PM by selecting the appropriate button below my signature. Have some suggestions on what you'd like to see? Head over to the ideas thread and join in on the discussion!)
I tried to make a smiling Bosmer, but he looked like a complete dork, so I went back to the grumpy version. Can't make the backgrounds transparent now though, I need to install something a bit more complex than Paint to do that... I'll put up the updated versions soon.
