Would you be interested in a contest for some free items?

I'm considering giving some of my extra items away. Even maybe a couple things not on my for sale/trade thread.

What I thought about doing is holding a contest to see who can make a banner and logo for my website - and the winner will get everything, including shipping for free. I'd hold it here, all content would be submitted in a thread, then I'd pick the winner.

The package would probably be worth at least $100-$150.

Is this something you guys would be interested in? If so let me know. I don't wanna do it if only like 2 guys are into it. It just takes me so long to do things in photoshop and I suck. Of course, keep in mind you'd have the use Liquid Ocelot (or maybe even Revolver) prominently in your artwork.

DON'T DO ANYTHING YET as I'm not 100% sure I'll do it yet.

1 big package seems to pretty damn hardcore, but i wouldnt suppose there can be like 1 winner and like 1-2 honorary mentions. =D

It's definately something I'm going to consider. I don't think the contents of the package I'd keep a surprise though - just in case people thought they were going to get something and it doesn't happen heh.

The only thing is mate, you only had to ask and you could have saved a $100! lol.

Nah, it's very generous of you mate. It's nice to have a competition too, it's something I'd never thought I'd see on a collectors forum. It's a really cool idea. I wouldn't feel obliged to put loads in there though, it's your collection at the end of the day and I'm sure we all appreciate that.

You'll have to let us know dimensions and exactly what you're looking for (as in, is it just a banner and logo for your website, or do you want a signature banner to advertise your site too?). How many entries per person etc. And when do we start and the closing date etc.

Yeah I'm thinking about the details and seeing if more people are interested. I'm not the best at making at these graphics but I'm satisfied with what I do, it just takes me FOREVER. Plus it'd be nice to have some spare artwork if I ever want to change anything.

Would there be any second or third place win with a small item depending on the place?
XD

As far as timeline, it may not be until next month. I'd like to get my site completed first and I actually have an idea for another website I'd like to start when liquidocelot.com is "done".

Plus I have some ideas on how I could advertise a bit more and get more people interested in the contest.

The only artwork I'll keep and use is the winner (I'll want copyright of it), the rest will remain ownership of the creators. I'll have to hammer out the details heh.
