SOTW Submission Thread

Week 9!

Theme: Christmas

Rules:
-To be considered, your submission MUST be prior to Tuesday, December 25 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. I have given extra time for this week's contest because I will be gone for a couple days for Christmas. With this extra time, I hope to see some freakin' amazing signatures. Remember, if I can understand how your signature has anything to do with the theme, it'll be included. If you have any questions about this, PM me. Any late entries, even if late by one minute, will be disqualified.

-You are allowed only ONE entry. You are welcome to change your submission as many times as you wish prior to the time mentioned above.

- As with the SOTW contests of old, your signature MUST be submitted in two formats:

The Image:

And the code for the image:

Code: Select all

Any submission that fails to comply will be disqualified.

-Submissions MUST comply with the following Halomods rules on signatures:

Signatures are limited to 500x120 with 3 lines of text.
However, if an image is not used (you either use one, or you don't, nothing in between) you will be allowed up to 5 lines of text.
Text rules are based on 1024x768. Having a widescreen resolution does not make you exempt from the rules.

(Emphasis added)

- Your signature MUST follow the theme to be considered.

- No complaining! If you have a complaint, PM me and I will address it. Anybody found complaining or whining in this thread will be disqualified from this contest. Anybody found complaining twice will be disqualified for a minimum of a month (maybe longer). There are no exceptions.

- Have fun! If you didn't enjoy making your signature and I find out about it, you will be disqualified from this contest without warning.

If you have questions as to whether or not your signature qualifies, PM me and I will review it for you.

Awards: Winners will receive "notches" (like a notch in a belt) that they can post below their signature (see Lt Slap a ho's sig).

One last notice: This is not a democracy. I will make my decisions based solely off the rules posted above. If you have any problems or concerns regarding the rules or my decisions, DO NOT post it here. Rather, PM me and I will address them on an individual basis when I can.

That said, I would now like to open this thread for submissions.

One final note about the following quote:

Political Correctness ftw.

It is not politically incorrect to base this SOTW off of this holiday. I in no way am trying to push Christianity or any sort of religion with this theme. I merely am basing this contest off of this coming week's holiday, much in the same way I based a former contest off of Halloween. Christmas is a holiday that represents many, many different things to everybody. I'm not going to tell any of you what this holiday should mean to you. That's up for you to decide. That in mind, understand that this week's SOTW is about this coming week's holiday (be it a holiday of religion, commercialism, Santa, etc), and nothing more.
Furthermore, this is an unofficial competition, governed by the topic creator. It is outside of staff boundaries to manipulate the competition's theme based on their own beliefs. If you choose to not participate in this theme, fine, but do not purposefully force an ideology on everyone. Christmas isn't used here to signify all winter holidays, it is used specifically for Christmas, and therefore, it is completely unreasonable to assume that "holidays" is a more fitting term.

"Christmas" is not a synonym for "winter." Be creative.

The snow turned out too small after working on 1000x400. When i imaged it down to 120 height it can barely be seen ;_;;

Sorry mister close minded person...Obviously the the entire world, instead of the northern hemisphere has winter at Christmas time...Naturally, any place that doesn't have winter at Christmas must suck and should be ignored...................

;p

Anyway, I wanna enter...I'd like to make a sig which grabs my view on Christmas, but I doubt I have the time to make one...So ill probably jsut do a MC with a hat...Because I'm creative
