UPDATE THE THIRD:
This contest is now CLOSED. That's it! All finished!
New entries can no longer be accepted.
Thank you so much to everyone who pimped this, donated prizes - and of course everyone who made an entry. I appreciate it so much!
Watch this space for the results.
So. I'm redecorating my room.
I only have one nice poster and a couple of prints to put up on my wall, so I decided that I'd really like a new poster... but not just any ol' poster. ;D And this is where you guys come in!
This contest is to design a poster of A3 size and using any medium which I can get printed and framed in order to put up on my wall.
The initial deadline will be July 24th. This may be extended, depending on how things are looking at that time.
Listen up! Important things for you to consider...
Your entry MUST:
- Be an image of some description (hopefully that goes without saying).
- Be at least A3 (300ppi) - 3508x4960 pixels (pieces that aren't quite the correct aspect ratio may need to have the edges cropped slighty).
- Be all your own original work.
- Be limited to one entry per entrant.
- Not contain any inappropriate content, such as nudity, gore, swearing or any other offensive language.
Your entry COULD:
- Be portrait or landscape.
- Be a collaborative effort, as long as you decide how prizes will be split.
- Represent me or my interests (see below). Please note that following one or more of those suggestions is entirely optional.
- Be a digital drawing/painting/vector etc.
- Be a traditional drawing/painting/print etc.
- Be a collage or montage.
- Be a photo.
- Be a piece of typography.
- Be a scaled-up pixel piece.
- ...Be absolutely any other visual form you can think of! Go wild!
Finally, some suggestions:
I appreciate that making something that I'll like is easier if you know me. So for those of you who don't, or those of you who are stuck for ideas, here are a couple of things that I like which you could use for inspiration if you so wish.
- ALL THE MUSIC. But Keane is my all-time favourite band, and 'Somewhere Only We Know' is my all-time favourite song.
- Anything remotely cutesy.
- Puns. I may groan when people make them, but they do make me laugh.
- Nature - mountains and rivers in particular.
- Doctor Who - preferably with David Tennant! <3
- Games such as Professor Layton, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart and Plants VS Zombies.
- Reading, drawing, painting and general crafty-ness.
- Anything with the colours green, blue or indigo.
- ...Unique and interesting approaches, so try to think outside the box. ;D
- Will be printed and displayed on my wall!

Judges:
And that's that! I really hope you'll choose to enter!
If you have an entry for me, link me to the deviation in the comments below. I'd prefer it if you didn't note me, because I tend to lose track of those.
Thanks for reading.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE MAKE SURE THE ANSWER IS NOT ALREADY PROVIDED IN THE JOURNAL ABOVE.
