Just a quick post with some changes and clarifications for anyone submitting designs to the contest:
You may only enter the contest once.
We've made a change to the contest rules restricting each member to only one entry at a time. Once your entry completes scoring, you may then submit another design if you wish. This is to ensure the quality of the designs that are up for voting. We'd prefer that members spend their energy making one spectacular design instead of submitting a bunch of less stellar ones.
All artwork you submit must be entirely created by you.
This means any photographs would have been taken by you, any patterns you use are created by you, etc. If you spot a design that uses artwork stolen from somewhere else, please help us spot it by clicking the Report This link located under the design's title, or send us an email.
We will no longer be accepting designs which are just a single photograph, or a single repeating pattern.
We are looking for designs which are unique and obviously took some effort to create. Take a look at the winners so far and you'll see what we mean. If you are in doubt on whether or not your entry is up to snuff, submit it as a critique first.
We welcome you to comment on these guidelines below and let us know what you think. Also, thank you everyone for your entries so far! Keep them coming!

- Report ThisGood ideas, especially the last two. Anyone can paste a picture into photoshop and call it their design. Hopefully this will put a stop to that sort of thing. Besides, submitting something like that just wastes everybodies time!

- Report ThisAre there any ways to submit hand drawn deisgns? I have printed the template and would like to hand draw my design as I do not have a graphioc design program but a colour scanner. Any thoughts on how to go about this? I would love some input!
I love the quality not quantity portion of this change. More originality and creativity, this is art!
