Simple Banner Ad Contest $15 or More

    Hello,

    I am looking for a banner ad on my website myfavoritemarathon.com

    If you check out the site, you will see an ad in the lower left hand corner for a free water bottle. I would like to see that look more professional and more flashy to get people's attention. Plus, I will be adding it to the middle section and would like the size to be 468X60.

    Just to give you an idea of what I like -- I like all of the other ads on the website that are affiliate links. They are simple, but nice. In particular, I like the 2 from RoadRunnerSports that flash back and forth.

    In addition, I am intested in a similar/matching one that I will pay the winner another $5 for in a 120X90 for the side column.

    To encourage everybody to enter, if you are not the winner, but have a decent entry, I will be considering yours and pay another $5/each for possible future use. AND, it does not end there. I am sure I will make changes to the ads in the future (simple text changes to change the promotion) and will compensate the designer for those as well :D

    Payment via Paypal. Would like to end the contest w/in 48 hours if I receive a few entries...

    Hello,

    Just to clarify...

    ** Winner gets $15 for a 468 X 60 Banner

    If interested, they can also provide a similar 120 X 90 Banner w/ the exact same look for $5

    Plus, if I see a few great entries, I may give $5 to other entries for their efforts (depends on entries).

    Also, when I say more... I will probably want to change it from time to time (experimenting with different items and creating new banners) and would provide the winner w/ more opportunities at a rate that they feel is fair. Sorry for the confusion, just probably should have left it at $15 only -- LOL :)

    Thank you very much for your submissions... here is some feedback...

    Fran and Christer - doesn't stand out much more than the original, just scrolls through the text

    CB - that is interesting looking, but it is a little busy and hard to quickly see what the offer is all about

    Hello,

    Thanks to everybody for your entries! CB -- I like what you were doing with that, but for some reason, just not sure what it was missing...

    I really like how clean and simple Neilparnham's is and the different colors really stand out. For example, the color of the Free and the size of the font. For that reason, I will select Neil as the winner and he will receive $20 for the two ads.

    If you have contacted me via PM or are working on anything at this time, please feel free to send me your entry. I always consider awarding more than one person if I see another good match.

    Thanks again!

    Zigster

    True, Neil did send a PM to me very early on before most were posted with his banner ad very quickly after I posted the contest. Already included the pictures on it. He didn't steal anything.

    CB -- I did like yours. It was the runner-up. The only thing that I wasn't sure about was the color and how easy it was to read the message.

    What Neil created had the important words stand out by changing the colors - but not too much -- just a subtle change. I hope the feedback helps, but this is just my opinion.
