Holiday Banners Competition '14

[Duki3003]

Keeping up with the tradition we started, it's time once again for our annual Holiday Banners competition.
You can submit your banners with a New Year/Winter motif here...

Requirements

  ● Submit in .png (lossless) format
  ● Width 980px
  ● Height 120px
  ● Matches site!
  ● Use the Joyful Juliana font.
  ● Keep at least 100px clear on the left and 200px clear on the right (Search box and RSS feed button).
  ● If the composition allows it put the image to the left and the text to the right.
  ● Tell us which anime it's from and the character(s) name.
  ● Provide link to your (tracker) profile so we can give you proper credit.

Like before, you'll have more freedom if you wish to experiment, however try to keep the banners consistent. That goes for the font and the background colour scheme.
New Year motif banners will be kept in rotation until the end of January, 2014 - so feel free to alter your banner slightly and re-submit it in the regular banner submission thread if you want to keep it in permanent rotation.


Best banners will be awarded - 2000 Bonus points for every banner we choose (No limits to number of submissions).
Same as last year, banners we like the most will receive extra points.
Submissions will be accepted starting today and until 23. December.
Happy Holidays, and have fun~

A few more tips

- Keep clear requirement is not compulsory, just compensate for the buttons overlaying the banner or incorporate them in the design.
- Do not overuse existing renders and themes, there are plenty of new shows to choose from
- Actual banner width is 970px, so bear that in mind if your design relies on a frame of sort
- As for additional text - Happy New Year, Happy Holidays and similar are accepted, but we're steering clear of Merry Christmas and similar religious holiday greetings as we're trying to be neutral
However we are tolerating Christmas themed banners, Christmas tree, gifts etc. as it is tied to New Year spirit.

For the general idea you can also check out banners we accepted previous years '13, '12, '11, and '10.
