$15 Banner Design Contest + Free Link

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by wvcaudill2, Jul 11, 2009.

    Hello everyone, im running my first contest on DP for a banner! The prize is $15 via paypal, and if I especially like your design, I would be more than happy to put up a link to your website/design firm/whatever.

    Now, the rules:

    1. MUST BE SIZE 300x100
    2. Submit as many entries as you want
    3. You may PM them if you like.

    The banner will be for my site, http://www.newtuts.com. It needs to say "Want more traffic? Submit your tutorials to the newest tutorial directory on the web: Newtuts.com"

    Im not particular about the colors, positioning, etc. I am looking for something clean, and eye catching.

    Also, feel free to change up the wording a bit if you think it will catch people's attention better.

    Good Luck!

    P.S. The contest will end tonight at midnight, CST

    I am extending this contest to last till Sunday, July 12th at Noon CST. The reason for this is that I need to get some shut-eye and wont be able to judge all the entries tonight. So, tomorrow at noon I will post the winner and PM him/her for their Paypal email address. Please, rest assured you will be payed. Thank you all for trying. Feel free to continue submitting till the new deadline.

    I like the simplistic design, and I really dont have any other suggestions for you. Right now this is my number 1 pick. Keep the banners coming!

    Thanks for your submission. I dont really think anything animated like this would fit in with the websites I plan on putting a banner on. Feel free to try again!

    Thanks for trying again, however I feel this is a little too simple.

    Sorry, but I dont like either one of those designs. They are both too bright and kinda hard to read. Thanks for trying.
