Due to some unforeseen circumstances last month, the Unburied Treasures contest was extended to the end of this month. There's still two weeks left to get your entries in if you wish to participate. Below is the information and rules to the contest, hope to see your entry.


Rules:

1. Create a stamp using the allowed stamp size, 99x56 pixels. [link]

2. Stamp can be static or animated.

3. Stamp can use words, images, or both. Your choice.

4. Stamp can have smooth or jagged edges.

5. Message of the stamp can be any idea but must be about the theme of the news article.

6. Enter as often as you like. All entries must be sent to me in a note in order to be included in the contest.

7. Contest runs to the last day of September, 2007.

Judging

1. Stamps will be judged for artistic merit and how well they represent the news series.

2. The five that I like the most will be posted in a poll to determine the winning stamp. Everyone will get a say in which one wins from those chosen. Poll will run until the end of October 5th. Winners will be announced afterwards. I'll post another news article with the five chosen and a link to the poll.

Prizes

First Place: $50 dollars in any DA product. This includes clothing, and shipping/handling is included in the total. Winner will also have the official stamp of the news series, which will be at the bottom of every issue written.

Second Place: $30 dollars in any DA product. This includes clothing, and shipping/handling is included in the total.

Third Place: $15 dollars in any DA product. Shipping/handling is included in the total.
