    July 21-22-07​

    The two-day course is packed with skills training that can only be learned through a true hands-on experience. One on one tutoring based on your individual skill level. Each student has the opportunity to perform multiple repairs and polish various types of stones. No seats. No stories. No sales pitch.

    The students will learn how to make repairs and seams look and feel like a natural product, remove scratches, factory blending, chip repairs, color blending and matching, seam repairs, honing, and the widely coveted knowledge of top-polishing.



    Successful participants receive not only the knowledge, complete set of tools necessary to perform typical surface repairs, but they are also eligible to join the NSRA.

    The NSRA is a nationwide group of independent, natural stone restoration professionals dedicated to quality and the education of the consumer and our members.

    usely anything above 40/50 is just too big, most company's require it to be in the 30s but the bigger the more freedom for us

    Hi joh, great contest but I'm not too sure that someone can squeeze a 30-40kb banner gif file with a few second clip on it. It's very difficult if the banner will be very similar to the banner you posted above.

    A standard static (non animated) 468x60 file usually ranges from 15-25kb already.

    with flash type, it is possible only if the images are not video but animated vectors shapes/drawing. :)

    A few of you going to work real hard to come up with a concept, and a few of you are going to set back and just try to make someone else’s concept better. Well we will not have any of that here. If you see a good concept you can help that person make it better, but you can not claim it as yours unless the person gives you permission to use his/her concept. Please come up with your own stuff. Here is an example of 3 entry’s by different people that I feel is two close for some one to claim the style as there own, and in a case like this, I would pay the person that came up with the concept. I must admit I like the second one best.

    Ok, after getting a pm explaining that what i am looking for is too complex for the size. It was recommended that the size should be around 80kb. so, here i go changing the contest again. I will now add $20 to the contest making the prize $70. you can make the size up to 1.4mb the screen can be bigger that one that they have. remember that we teach how to fix natural stone countertops. It would also be great if we can have an area that the dates can be inputed and changed easily.
