The one-year anniversary of the ThoomCare Media Network is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I have decided to celebrate by holding an ad art contest.
Exiles are encouraged to submit their original artwork in the form of advertisements for TMN.
The pool of coins available for prizes is as follows:
First place: 1000 coins
Second place: 500 coins
Third place: 300 coins
TMN is looking for sponsors for the contest to help pay for the prizes. Sponsors will receive special recognition as the contest proceeds.
The deadline for contest submissions is 43 Winter 550 (Thursday, May 1, 2003).
For more technical details about the contest, read below.
Who is the judge?
The judge is Paramedic the Thoom.
What is the subject?
The subject is an advertisement for the ThoomCare Media Network.
What size should my submission be?
Please keep the ad to a size smaller than 250x250 pixels. There's some flexibility here. An ad the size of the traditional TMN logo (360x152) would be OK too.
Where should I send my entry?
See "Contact Information" in the right-hand column of TMN.
What sort of style should I use for my ad?
You are open to select any type of style, IC or OOC. Feel free to be inventive with this. What would a TMN ad look like on a signpost in Puddleby? On a parchment delivered to the Darshak? How would a TMN ad look if done in the style of ancient Egyptian art? Italian Renaissance? Art Deco? Medieval illustrated manuscript? Anime? Atari 2600? CNN? Star Trek? Soviet propaganda? Any of these and countless others could provide interesting inspiration.
Who is sponsoring the contest?
Current sponsors: Paramedic
