Announcing A Contest!!!

As those who browse the Notable Milestone Forum are well aware, for certain milestones we give awards.

Currently, we have the Bart Williams Folding Award for 5,000 points:

The Folding Star award for 25,000 points:
attachment.php?attachmentid=5149&stc=1


And the Team S-M Toaster award for 50,000 points:
attachment.php?attachmentid=5150&stc=1


We would like to add several new awards, so get your photochop skills sharpened up and contribute your designs. In order to make it a little easier, we will do these one at a time, allowing about two weeks for you to submit your ideas.

To kick things off, we are looking for designs to honor those who reach their First Milestone - 1,000 Points. Along with your submission, include a brief commentary on why you made your design the way you did, and give a name for your award (example: "The Short-Media New Folder Award"). It's not necessary, but if you want to name the award after someone please include your reasons for doing so.

Once we have a group of designs to choose from we will all get to vote on which one will become our First Milestone award. Post your ideas here!

    Try refreshing the page. I've seen some of the milestone threads with lots and lots of :fold: 's not show up right on the first go-round...

    Nope. I tried refresh and tried right click -> show picture neither of them worked. I also tried looking in other threads. No go for the star and toaster awards.

    Here they are, as attachments and not linked pics:

    PS - Keebs has set the bar pretty high (again!). It's going to take some doing to beat that. :clap:

    ...that's a challenge, folks...

    Let's go people! I know it's going to be tough to beat the General's entry, but you could at least try. :D

    Let's see the skills that made this thread such a winner. :wave:

    Um, how about an Angel Heather award also??? Do not know it needs to be first 1000 pointer, but might be nice. I might play this weekend with a first time folder's milestone award, but my submissions of graphics are usally kinda gaudy, so be warned... :D

    That sounds like an interesting idea. If you want to work it into a theme for the 1,000 point milestone award that would be fine, or if you'd rather design it for one of the other notable milestones (I'd suggest 10K or 15K) you can get a head start on that. Once we have a First Milestone (1K) award settled on we'll be opening up competition on the others.

    And: Make them as gaudy as you like! :D

    Here's an idea croc_ and I have drawn up. I just decided to do a rough sketch idea. He's the one with PS skills, so expect a better one later.

    Ok, I thought the beaten gold background would maybe be interesting.... I limited the size for now, can enlarge if wanted like 1.75 x 1.75 inches or so.

    Folders are folks who are like gold, they care about others and those kinds fo caring folks are VALUABLE. Red is the color of the blood that flows through us, we need it to keep flowing to stay alive, and for protiens that are not misfolded to keep from messing our cells up as blood can carry defenders and medicine also...

    It looks more like a finished silicon wafer full of chips to me. That'd be cool too, since this is all about everyone using their collective CPU power to accomplish a common goal.

    I took Keebler's and edited it a little.

    Hopefully you all can view it properly. I know IE used to have issues with PNG images, especially transparent ones. Mozilla renders PNG images correctly, though, so I see things just fine.

    You guys need to make more than the 1k milestones so we can use them all for a milestone somewhere.
