SOTW #61 - Topic: The Olympics - Winners Announced.

[nitenurse79]

The theme is: The Olympics

Picked by: Nitenurse79 (I was nominated by the winner of SOTW #60 WelshBlue)

This Weeks Theme Is – The Olympics. As you know there is now the Olympic games happening here in the UK right now. Design a sig with the Olympics in mind, it could be your fave sporting event, a re-take on the Olympic rings or anything to do with the games in general

Think outside of the box and lets win our own gold medals.

The deadline for this competition is 9:59pm (GMT) on Monday 6^th August.

To see the current time in GMT (my time), click here (WorldTimeServer.com).

Check the SOTW Rules! If your entry breaks any of the rules it will be disqualified.

The Rules:

1.Max sig dimensions 500x200. NOTE: The forum limits signatures to 500x150, so if it's too large don't try to use it as your sig.

2.No crude / offensive language, pics, etcetera.

3.Sig must follow the set theme.

4.Only one entry per person, modifications to your image are allowed after submitting your entry (See Amended Rules)

5.You must post the URLs to any and all stock images used in your sig.

6.You are allowed one post in this topic. That post should include your sig, links to your source images. Placeholders (empty-posting now, editing in a link to your sig later) are not permitted, and will be disqualified.

7.Use new, fresh sigs. The idea is to get you to create new things, and if you're just pulling out an old one, you're not doing that.

8.Remember, the winner of the current SOTW gets to choose the subject for the next competition!

Amended Rules – If there is not enough entries three days before the deadline you may enter more than one sig (please note, this is only if there is less than six entries)

Please note (an edit to rule #4) - any amendment to your entry has to be cosmetic only, no uploading a placeholding sig and then adding a new one later in the week

(I do save entries to my HD and I keep my eyes peeled )

This thread is for posting your entries only!

If you want to talk about one of the entries you can do so at the discussion thread here..

Good luck to all participants, thanks in advance for entering.

And special thanks to Sozo (since I stole most of his template) Sozo, chrisco97 and TheHowler for keeping this comp going in the past.

A new amendment to the rules.

Reason for edit - Bad spelling.
