The SpoilerTV 2015/16 New Banner Competition - $50 Prize to the Winner! *Submissions Closed*

26 Jul 2015

Share on Reddit


Update: 1st August Submissions are now closed. Thanks for all your entries. The team will now go through and try to narrow it down to the final 15 finalists and then we'll have a poll in a day or 2 to decide on the winner.

Update: 24th July Just 1 week left to get your entry in

Update: 19th May I've had a few people email to see if they could design a banner with no shows in the actual design. We've updated the rules to allow non-show specific designs.



Hey all,

It's that time again to give the site a fresh new look. Each year since we started we've had a new banner in preparation of the new season.

Once we have all the submissions the SpoilerTV Team will then narrow down the submissions to the best 10 or 20, and then you will all have the opportunity to vote on which one will be our new banner. (You can see last years entries here)

The Winner will receive a $50 Amazon Voucher and your Banner will be our new Banner for 1 year on the Main site.

You can see our current and previous banners below.








Rules

The Rules are very simple.

1) You'll have just over 2 months to design a banner for SpoilerTV. Submissions close on 31st July 2015.
2) The winner of the Poll will then be our new banner for the next year, and the winner will win a $50 Amazon voucher.
3) You can submit up to a Max of 2 Entries per person.


Submission Restrictions

Now there are some restrictions.

1) The Banner must include somewhere either the SpoilerTV Logo or the text SpoilerTV. (You can download it here. Also included is the font used if you need it which is Gotham Ultra). You are free to change the size the logo to match your design.
2) The Banner must be a PNG file
3) The Banner must be exactly these dimensions 1090px * 200px
4) The Banner must feature at least 4 different shows. (They can be new/current and/or old shows and you can use as many shows as you like) OR it can be non-show specific ie can feature some funky design which does not focus on any shows in particular (eg an abstract background, image)

For those interested, the background colour of the header menu is HEX Color #374A55 and the Blue we use is #2D90B6


How to Submit

Simply reply in the Comments below and paste a link to your image. We recommend you upload your image to somewhere like tinypic.com or similar image hosting site so that you can post a direct link to your image in the comments. You can also upload them directly from your PC to the comments via the Image button on the comments form.



So what are you waiting for... get creating. Oh and please Tweet/Facebook like/Google+ etc this post and send it to all your graphic friends!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask in the comments below.


Testing how your banner looks.

Once you have uploaded your image you can test how it will look.

1) Get the direct link to your image from wherever you hosted it eg tinypic, imgur etc.

2) Click on Configure Site icon in the menu



3) In the popup box paste the link to your image in the box provided and then press the "Click to Set Image" button.



4) That will then set the banner. To go back or try another banner, simply repeat steps 1-3) again.


Current Entries

As we receive submissions, we will periodically add them below for you all to see easily.

New ones will be added to the top.

  1. Wow don't tell me it's been a year since the last banner competition, the time went way too fast!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Has it really been a year since the last banner competition? Doesn't feel like it at all!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Not quite a year. We're starting it 2 weeks early to give people a little more time :)

    ReplyDelete
  4. It doesn't feel that long at all, I'm looking forward to seeing what people submit this year :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. well it started 54 weeks ago. It was a cold day, wind was blowing......


    you get the idea. Can i just submit the one i made last year and try and get lucky (joke)

    ReplyDelete
  6. As long as it features "you know who"

    ReplyDelete
  7. Excited! Though the banners I dislike the most always end up winning!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Good Luck to all the competitors!
    Sadly I'm not creative in that department. But I'll gladly give my input on which ones I like.
    I love all this interactive stuff. Kudos to the STV team for making this happen.

    ReplyDelete
  9. This is the one I use. It was from last year's competition. My favorite one I have seen so far.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Here is mine. It won't win but wanted to submit something. Hope I added it correctly

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ha, at least we let you choose whichever one you like ;)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ha, same here :)

    I rely on others to back some great banners. We love doing this as it allows our readers to help shape what the site looks like.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yep, you did it perfect. I'll add it to the post.

    ReplyDelete
  15. My personal favorite was the one from 2013/14

    I can't believe it's been a year. Well I have two months to work on it so this time I'll not crunch together a mediocre one in a few days and instead make one that includes every show possible that can fit into 1090x200!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Although I never enter, I love this competition. Good luck everyone. For the record my vote will go to a banner that features Supernatural and Arrow haha ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hopefully I get free time this year to work on it. I still have my blank template from last year.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm looking forward to see what you'll make. I'm using your banner from last year ;)


    As always thanks @DarkUFO for your hard work and the excellent idea of having a banner election! :D I hope we get some bright colorful ones this year, to be honest I'm tried of the usual gloomy blue!! :P

    ReplyDelete
  20. It's new banner time already? Doesn't seem like it's been a year since the last contest...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I tried... xD

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  43. You should have jury or something besides the poll voting.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Matthew Zamora21 May 2015 at 13:59

    Really nice... Tried to do it like that but I couldn't figure out how to overlay the characters and get them all to have the same background

    ReplyDelete
  45. The SpoilerTV team go though all the submissions and we vote internally. We then take the top ones from our internal poll, and then post these for people to vote on.

    We want our readers to have the final say in which will be our official banner. It's the fairest way rather than leaving it to some arbitrary judges.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Sorry, I did not know that.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Here's mine!

    ReplyDelete
  70. My favorite so far. Good Work!

    ReplyDelete
  71. Thanks! I'll try to add a few more on my second entry.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Not sure about websites, but I used Photoshop for mine, and you may be able to get a free trial from their website.

    ReplyDelete
  73. B&W looks better for some reason.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Thanks for the reply :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. My favorite ones, so far.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Start with the most popular ones and you'll have a great strategy for winning.

    ReplyDelete
  77. This one gets my vote so far in large part because it does have so many shows that there's something for everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Very,very great work!!! I like both of them but most of all the colored one.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Here is first entry this year...http://i58.tinypic.com/2ynng2w.png

    ReplyDelete
  87. Bourbon.Aficionado25 May 2015 at 16:04

    My first attempt... well, i tried :)

    ReplyDelete
  88. Finally I did it (after days of working). Well, last year I enjoyed searching for my favorite characters on the banner, and that's why I put a lot of them. Also, the background is with photos of ended shows. I hope you like it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. Sorry, can you replace it? Here's a better quality version: http://oi59.tinypic.com/52na60.jpg

    ReplyDelete
  90. And a png version: http://i.imgur.com/Tg7Af5M.png
    Sorry about bothering.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Aryam Manzueta26 May 2015 at 00:35

    I like it, except for the green in the STV sign...

    ReplyDelete
  98. It looks pretty neat! Besides, Clarke getting the spotlight? Nice!
    The only problem is the lack of shows; it has great shows on it, but the number is reduced in comparison to other banners

    ReplyDelete
  99. Matthew Zamora26 May 2015 at 14:50

    Wow there are so many good ones.. Mine looks like a joke in comparison lol wish I could figure out how to make one like those
