Allakhazam Store Images ContestFollow

We are going to open up an Allakhazam store and sell site related items like t-shirts. We were kicking around some designs and realized that the best thing to do is to tap the creative talent of our community. Thus, we are announcing a contest. Here are the rules:

1. In this contest we will be looking for designs to be added to the Allakhazam Merchandise Store. These designs can include artistic renderings of game-specific races and jobs, humorous phrases capturing the essence of the Allakhazam Community, cartoons of Allakhazam related themes, etc. Use your imagination. We will consider anything that is not pornographic or overly offensive.

2. All submissions must be in the form of an image. The Image submitted must be 200 dpi and 2000 pixels exactly in either length or height. The Image should be in .PNG format with a transparent background and must include one of the following terms: "Zam.com", "Allakhazam.com", or "Allakhazam's Magical Realm". Designs with a "halo" around it will not be considered. If your image is not in this format it will automatically fail to qualify.

3. You may submit as many entries as you like. Individuals can win multiple times if they submit more than one image that we accept.

4. Your design(s) must be an original work of art and may not include the logos or names of any games, logos of companies aside from ours, or any copyrighted or trademarked material. Should you use any pre-made clipart for your design, the image must be royalty-free and authorized for use on apparel. In addition, we ask that you not feature company created characters such as Illidan from Warcraft or Shantotto from FFXI, or use any in game graphics to create your design.

5. All winning images become the sole property of the Zam Network and we retain all rights to their use thereafter. By submitting to the contest, you are agreeing to give up any rights you would otherwise own for that image or phrase should it be selected.

6. We will likely pick multiple winners. However, if there are no submissions that we like, we reserve the right to not pick any winner. The number of winning entries is uncertain and depends upon how many entries we get that we like. Judging will be at the sole discretion of the allakhazam staff.

7. If your image is picked, you will get a one year premium membership, and when the image has been incorporated into the store, a set of 2 products of your choice with your image on it (for example a t-shirt and mug). If you are a forum poster, we will also give you a custom title.

8. Please send all images to pikko@allakhazam.com with the caption "Allakhazam Store Image Contest Submission".

Edited: 2000 pixels exactly

It just might!!!

I want my avatar image on one side of a yo yo with the allakhazam logo on the other! THat would rock!

I went tend to say yes. Don't quote me, but I would think that is only fair.

We have a few running ideas already, so keep em coming!!!

Isnt 200 dpi kinda low for commercial printing?

There goes my idea.

Here's a question, do y'all yave a copy of the Allakhazam's Magical Realm logo, from the page header, the one with the daggers in it. Can you post a copy of it with a clear background for us to use?

"We"

So far so good.

Note: The actual image is in a 2500x2500 canvas right now, so sizing to whatever should be no problem.

edit: Question: What's dpi? <.<;

dpi = dots per inch. So if its a 2500 x 2500 canvas, measure how wide it is in inches, then divide 2500 by inches.

In other words, at 200dpi, a 2500x2500 pixel image would turn out to be 12.5x12.5 inches.

sounds right to me.

In photoshop, got to Image>image size. Then, in the dialog box, type 200 in the resolution box, and make sure the box next to it says something like "px" or "pixels/inch." Also make sure the checkbox for "Resample image" is checked. Unless you want to make your image smaller inchwise, then make sure the "resample image" box is clear.
