Hi everyone, as you may (or not) know, ADG is celebrating their first anniversary on the 17th of November (which also happens to be my birthday ), and for that reason we want to spoil you guys n girls with some great prizes!
But, in order to win some of those amazing prizes, we want you to do something in return for us.
Don't worry, it's not hard to accomplish or you don't need to be the chosen one. Heheheh.
All that we ask of you, is to create the most amazing ADG wallpaper possible. That's it.
Of course, there are some rules to comply. Here they are:

TASK:
- Create the best looking wallpaper related to ADG (and game making). Any 2D or 3D program can be used.

RULES:
- The wallpaper must be either in .png, or .jpg format. No bitmap (.bmp)!
- Image size must be 1440x960 (best suited to crop/resize for multiple resolutions).
- 1024x768 is also allowed for judging (and winning), but the author will be asked to make a final 1440x960 version.
- The 'Sofachrome' font must be used to write the letters ADG! It can be downloaded here on this post (at the bottom).
- The wallpapers must be signed by the author (right-hand corner).
- No copying or using of someone elses images! Creations must be your own work!
- Multiple entries per contestant are allowed, but only one prize per winner.

DEADLINE:
- Submissions must be posted on the official ADG wallpaper thread (which is HERE) by 00:00HRS 1st of January 2012 (BEFORE New Year).

JUDGING:
- Judging will be done by the ADG administrators, and their decision IS final.
- Winners will be announced 1st of February 2012.

Now, for the prizes:

PRIZES
1st
- Model-2-Sprite by Matty H
- ADG Best Graphics Badge (Gold) - For the best graphics to be used by the winner on the forums or in their game art for perpetuity
- Full Catalogue of apps from baxslash (including as yet unreleased software)
- Animated sprite pack from TheSlayer with 60 animated spritesheets
- Wallpaper will be uploaded for anyone to download

2nd
- Rich Dersheimers' ADG Particle Box
- ADG Best Graphics Badge (Silver) - For the best graphics to be used by the winner on the forums or in their game art for perpetuity

- Wallpaper will be uploaded for anyone to download

Runners up (x3)
- ADG Best Graphics Badge (Bronze) - For the best graphics to be used by the winner on the forums or in their game art for perpetuity
- Full Catalogue of apps from baxslash (including as yet unreleased software)
- Animated sprite pack from TheSlayer with 20 animated spritesheets
- Wallpaper will be uploaded for anyone to download

I made a quick wallpaper example to give you all an idea of what can be done. Of course, let your imagination run wild.



I would like to thank everyone who offered a prize for the contest, as well as everyone else who participated in getting the contest a fact.

Finally, here is the Sofachrome font to be used for the 'ADG' letters.

Good luck to all!

How are you all doing? Hope to see some great artistic entries.
And remember, remaining prizes go to the ADG administrators.
So, I'd suggest you give it a go.

Good luck!

Attention: we changed/altered the resolution requirements for the ADG wallpaper a bit.

1440x960 (which is most suited to easily crop/resize for multiple resolutions) is allowed and 1024x768 (see note).

Note: entries of which the resolution is already set at 1024x768 will be allowed for judging (and winning), but the author will be asked to make a final wallpaper of 1440x960 (because of easier cropping/resizing to multiple resolutions).

Have fun!

Sorry for the bump, guys.
Just want to remind everyone that there are still two competitions going on at the moment with great prizes HERE and HERE.
You can find the official ADG site HERE to upload your entries and win one of those wonderful prizes.
Remember, signing up for an ADG account is totally free.

Prizes are given by TGC, Matty H, Rich Dersheimer, baxslash, JRNTexas and me. Thanks for that, guys!

Anyways, good luck to all who competes. You have still a couple of weeks to make something and win one of those great prizes.

Cheers

Please don't bump your threads to advertise other threads.
I know the ADG is a great thing for TGC, but we wouldn't let anyone else do it.

So for consistency please keep all double posting to a minimum!

Cheers!

Sorry BigAdd, I asked The Slayer to do this since we have had very few entries so far. I didn't think it would be a problem since all I wanted to do was let people who weren't aware of the competitions know they were happening.

Didn't think it would be frowned upon so please don't blame him for my suggestion... sorry!
