Attention all AO members!
We are having an Anime Otaku Banner Contest.

I realized it would be nice to have a main banner for AO.
One that we could display at the top of every new thread that has to do with AO.
[So, it would go on the first page of the main Otaku's thread, Get to know your fellow Otaku, Banners, and future contest threads.]

Judges

*Katie [KissMe2408]
*Rachael [Digital.Fragrance]
*Tina [Tic Tac]

*we currently aren't accepting more people to become judges



We need a bunch of people to enter, so spread the word around!

Deadline: October 1st October 8th -- NEW DEADLINE!
*If you are entering this contest please comment so I can list your name!



RULES:
(1)Only 1 banner per person
(2)Must have the words "Anime Otakus" written somewhere on it.
(3)Must fit within signature requirements on CB

This is SO exciting! Everyone ENTER NOW!

I don't know. Should I? Can't I just be one of those participants that you're not really expecting anything from, but it'd be nice if I submit something?

Do you have to be an AO?

Dude, you are in =) I signed you up, mwahah.
You can always drop out, but I like Jose's banners.
It'd be nice if you submitted something [Though we aren't really expecting anything]


I signed everyone else up as well!
Thanks! Keep signing up people!


^Yes I would like one of our AO Members to come up with the banner.
If you aren't a member, simply go to the Anime Otaku's thread and simply state that you want to join, you'll get your member #, and you are in! Easy, easy, easy!


I'll put that in the rules.

I'm expecting something from him.


If I know you, and you're in AO, and you are good with graphics, and don't enter, I will personally IM you and eKick you where it eHurts!

... i wish my PS was working.

Can anyone refer a good anime pic/site? I'm a total anime newb, seeing I dislike anime itself. *hides in corner*

I love theotaku.com, but you have to register. It also doesn't have a lot of pics, but has brief descriptions of several animes and some really cute fan art and wallpapers.

I am completely enamored with Rumiko Takahashi. Check out http://www.furinkan.com/ where you can also read about and see pics of my all time personal favorite, Ranma 1/2.

where do we sent the banner?

Enter me in this

Just post your finished work in this thread.
