Official Sig of the Month Contest, August

The eighth Sig of The Month contest is under way. Feeling like you have talent? This contest is open to everyone so I encourage everyone to enter. This contest is designed to showcase the talent we have here on WiiUsers.net and the winners each month will receive a prize in some shape or form, as well as have their signature showcased on WiiUsers.net's Main forum page.

Contest Rules **(All need to read)**

1. ) Absolutely NO plagiarism, If it happens it will result in an immediate infraction, and disqualification.

2. ) Signatures must be no larger than 600 px Wide x 144 px Length.

Example

600 Width

144 Length


3. ) You may post a maximum of two signatures, but your post cannot be edited, meaning all posts need to have all sigs in one, or all in separate posts. (You may post all your sigs in one post so long as it's at the same time and not edited in, I want to make this fair for everyone.)

4. ) Make sure you read the theme every month, as it will have to follow that theme, if you don't your signature will be disqualified.

5. ) Winners will be picked out Via several methods, either by a Poll, yours truly and several more. Pay close attention to the Judging Method below to see what the months Judging will be like.

6. ) All signatures made prior or from past(present) contests from here or OTHER websites cannot be reused (that includes re-editing the same signature), you must start from scratch. Creativity is the key here. Reusing a signature will be cause for disqualification.

7. ) All signature entries are final the previous rule stating no editting posts is the reason these are final.

8. ) Users are allowed two chances, meaning if you get two disqualified signatures, you cannot participate in the remainder of that months contest.

9.) Prizes will VARY from time to time, the signature contest is JUST starting out so be patient, prizes will get better as more contests are held!

**Update** Due to users being from different countries, at this time Virtual Console Games cannot be given out as a prize.

Feel free to ask me any questions Via PM or Pager if you are confused about a rule. I will gladly clarify for you.

Judging Methods Descriptions (How they work)

Judge- Of course that will be me. In future Contests, I may ask for assistant judges so keep an open mind on that. What I judge in criteria are layout, design elements, colour, text, layers and overall presentation. Keep these in mind when the judging method is me.

Poll- The community is involved in the decision of best signature in this method. All participants may vote, but not for their own. I can see who voted for what so don't try to pull a fast one on me. Also in case of a Tie, I will step in and judge the final winner.

Cross Judging/Poll- This method is done by me plus the WiiUsers.net community. What this method does is I choose out of all the signatures the best five or ten (Number of sigs may vary). Once I choose the signatures, the community takes over and decides the winner. Also in case of a Tie, I will step in and judge the final winner.

More Judging methods to come.......

Theme

This months theme? Well this months theme is quite a surprise, it's Mario Kart! So why not do a Sig of the Month entry of a marvelous Mario Kart signature.

Create Mario Kart signatures, which means anything from the Mario Kart Series. (That means Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart Double Dash, and so forth). Lay it out anyway you wish, just so long as it follows the rules of signature size.

Good Luck everyone!
