And after a long break the Avatar Design Challenge is back. The 6th incarnation of the challenge starts now and closes on August 14th (two months from now). After that all entries will be put up as a poll so folks can vote.

The theme for this contest is Sacred Places and the winner of this contest will choose the theme for the next one. So please remember to post a theme proposal when you post your entry.

Here are the rules (as originally written by Beachglass):

Avatar Design Challenge Rules

• Challenge begins today, June 14, 2008.  You do not have to "register" or otherwise state your intent to play, but it's nice if you do so so I can see what kind of response the theme is getting.
  
  
• The challenge theme will be chosen by the winner of the previous round.
  
  
• Players have two months to submit their design (i.e., until August 14).  Please submit your entries by uploading them to an image service such as Photobucket, and then inlining them into a reply to the challenge theme post (use [img] ... [/img]).  Also, post your idea for the next month's theme with your entry, so we can keep everything on schedule.
  
  
• Multiple entries are permitted, but please mark one "preferred" entry, in case there are many entrants and the list gets too unwieldy.
  
  
• Voting will take place between the end of the challenge and the beginning of the next round(September 1).  All interested members are encouraged to vote for their favorites.  The winner and new theme will be announced on the first day of the next round.
  
  
• Please review the Avatar Guidelines and be sure your entry meets them.  Also, please do not use copyrighted images when making your entry, unless you have permission from the copyright holder.
  
  
• By participating in the challenge, you are giving other members permission to use your entry as their avatar.  Please don't enter avatars that you don't want others to use.  Exception: you may enter your own personal avatar if it was made new for the contest.

Alright then! Any questions just ask them here.

And after a long break the Avatar Design Challenge is back.

I forgot to post when we hit the half way mark just under a week ago. Here's a bump post to make up for that and remind folks that there is a little under a month to go! Have fun...

Well, actually I know I'm a day late, but since the poll isn't yet up I thought I'd try nonetheless...

You may be a day late, but I'm even later! So hop on... Sorry all about the disorganised nature of this competition! Beachglass certainly pulled it off a bit better than I am. Since I forgot to bump it with a week to go I am giving us all another week, so the new deadline is the 23rd of August. Hopefully with this bump we will get a few more contestents!

As far as my own entry goes I doubt I'll be able to give one as I am using a friend's computer with no editing software until I can make mine happy again!

So! For anyone who has popped into this thread and has even the slightest inclination to join in, we'd love to have you! I promise, with a basic photo editing software (some suggestions for nice free ones can be found near the bottom of this thread) and a quick search of open source images (here's a good site to get you started, but a google search will get you many more), it's easy as pie...
