Christmas Give Away

[Matt R.]

Hello all,

To get us in the festive spirit, we're going to have a christmas give away. We are looking for the creative ones amongst us to create the following:

468x60 Banner Advert
We have a few requirements for this ad. It must:
1) Contain the WHB logo
2) Mention EITHER one of our hosting plans or that we're carbon neutral
3) Be innovative, cool and a cut above the usual hosting banner ads we see
4) 100KB maximum size

The rules are simple. You can enter as many times as you like, simply reply to this message and attach your entry. We're accepting both Flash and animated gif's. We will need the rights to use these in an ad campaign (so if use yours, we'd like the source).

Staff will vote internally and nominate 5 choices. These 5 choices will then be voted on by staff and by members of this message board. The one with the most votes comes first, second most votes comes second, etc... and we have some generous prizes for you

1st) Asus EEEPC Netbook
2nd) iPod Nano 16GB
3rd) iPod Nano 8GB
4th) Free VPS Gold for 1 year
5th) Free VPS Bronze for 1 year

The rules are simple. You must be a WebHostingBuzz client and the banner must meet out requirements above. You may like to mention that you can view our fans on Facebook, that we regularly post our server uptime figures or you can interact directly with top level management here on the forum, or whatever you think makes WHB unique to you. The key is creativity here - we have our own set of banners, but a lot of people putting ideas together is better than just a few.

I have attached a few versions of our logo to this thread.

The competition is now open and will close on December 24th. We'll make our choices in December 26th and have public voting until December 31st.

Let the designs begin!
We will ship prizes to anywhere that either DHL or Fedex can ship to.

I want to enter, but is there any chance that if I win something physical then it can be sent to Sydney or Melbourne or some where then sent to me with Star Track Express or something?

[Matt R.]

Haven't had that many entries unfortunately.

We'll ship worldwide.

Background eraser tool in photoshop = god

I've forgotten everything I knew about flash so I'm gonna have to make an animated gif

I just hope I can finish in time...

edit: I've made the bit about being carbon neutral and let me just say I did suck a good job with the trees!

I really can't see myself finishing tonight...

Does it have to be in on the 24th or by the 24th?

[StephenJ]

Well... here it is!

Hope you like it

[StephenJ]

I was wondering if you were still going to bother going ahead with this?

[Matt R.]

Yes, we are. We'll recognize though who submitted and we may extend this.
