Edit: (Contest Rules)

Special Operations Training Group will need a new banner for the top of our web pages at the start of SOCOM 3. So, in the spirit of friendly competition, we are going to host a contest. The winner will receive SOCOM 3 absolutely free! This competition is sponsored by Game Stop. So all of you fancy artists, if you think you have "signature skillz," this might be your opportunity to make them work for you!

Rules:

To enter, you must be over the age of 17 before September 13, 2005, or must have a parental consent form (www.sotg.us/consentform.doc) filled out and mailed / emailed / faxed to me by that date. Entrants do NOT have to be members of SOTG to participate. Every entrant in this competition is limited to one piece of art, with the following dimentions: All artwork should be submitted at a resolution of at least 72 dots per inch, but no more than 150, with a width of no less than 950 pixels and no more than 1000 pixels, and a height of no less than 200 pixels and no more than 250 pixels. The final product must load quickly enough to be used feasably as a standard banner.

The artwork must contain the following items: The SOTG Logo (defined as the letters SOTG with the Special Operations Command logo instead of the "O" and the M4/203 below the lettering), and the official SOCOM 3 logo / lettering.

All submissions in this contest immediately become the property of Special Operations Training Group, for our use or for distrubution as we see fit.

Fees: There are none - this competition is free to enter.

Prizes:

1st Place: SOCOM 3 + Credit line at the base of our web pages with a link to your portfolio / studio.

Alpha Assassins - The Ace of Spades
Bravo Bandits - Skull wearing a cowboy hat
Charlie Cobras - A Cobra (the snake)
Delta Dawgs - The greek letter (triangle) for Delta, or any sort of vicious dog.

I dont wanna pay to enter the contest, can you post the rules here?

Scuba Steve · 07-12-2005

I'll keep 25 bucks and pay for half of Socom 3, than pay to enter a contest, and possibly loose. If you could post all the information here, that'd be great.

Also, does anyone actually register to your forums when you charge them 25 bucks?

SOTGMarine · 07-12-2005

What are you all talking about?

The contest is free! and open to non-SOTG.

Why would you think it costs $25 to register on our forums? We don't charge people to register on our forums... lol.

weirdos

Scuba Steve · 07-12-2005

When I clicked the link, it was required that I register. When I clicked register, it required a fee of 25 dollars (unless it was a joke?). I don't know, but thanks for putting up the rules, etc.

SOTGMarine · 07-12-2005

I'm sure you only read part of what it had to say there. If you read all the way through, you'll see that you don't have to pay just to register. But perhaps if you were confused - others may be too. Let me know specifically what you saw that made you think you had to pay just to register on the forums please, so I can fix it.

I read the "to discourage younger members" and stopped

SOTGMarine · 07-12-2005

lol - Well, ... if you're young - maybe it worked! Hehe

Tiger · 07-12-2005

I cant believe I have to get parental consent... LMAO

SOTGMarine · 07-12-2005

Well it's illegal to give prizes to minors - so you can participate all you want if you don't want me to send you SOCOM 3. But if you want the prize, you're parents will have to accept on your behalf.
