size: 1000 x 255 pixels (or more, but must keep to the same dimensions) format: jpeg, jpg, png or gif
Must have the words "Budgerigars forum" in large legible letters. and the phrase: "a friendly and informative forum for budgerigar owners, breeders and exhibitors."
Entries are limited to three banners per person. Closing date is Thursday 16th of March 2017 with voting to commence the next day.

I'm thinking that this might be the last banner competition as we don't get much interest. I may have to choose a permanent banner from past ones. What do you think Hezz, sweetpea, Shirls and samwiseg?

Would it be too much of a task to use one banner for each of the seasons from past banners. That way you would only have four to keep track of and it could be changed at the right time?

I agree; we have had some beautiful banners created; they just haven't won the majority of votes, unfortunately (in my eyes), so why not make use of the banners that members have already created? We could have a vote on the remaining banners, minus the last winner, from the past season, or if anyone wishes to create another, then surely that could be added to the vote??? I love the idea of having a seasonal banner, but can understand that not everyone has the time to create every time .... let's do that??

It's a thought Hezz, but I'm not sure I kept track of all the winners :/
Or did I?
I'm confused now..

So, voting on all the previous spring entries??
That's going to be 50+ banners.

Maybe the original creators can select their favourite(s) I really don't see why some of those wonderful creations cannot be seen again. If a banner has made it into prime position, then that one be left out, and all banner creators offer up two of theirs for consideration, for that particular season. Does that seem fair?

Lol! I did two new ones last night! I think that what Hezz said could work - after all, for the last comp I did ask if I could enter previously submitted banners. Sometimes I run out of ideas, particularly when the same season come around again! Although I did come up with a new, nifty idea for this spring.

I just love doing banners, so I leave all the final decisions up to you guys. Although I have done one already for Spring.

I also thoroughly enjoyed doing banners even if none of them made it to to p of the page. I also enjoyed doing a number of things, but alas I can't do them now. But I will not get upset to see a set of good banners being put up for the relevant Season. So to keep it simple and easy for the team responsible for maintaining the site, why not take what the team think is the best and most appropriate. I would have thought the membership as a whole would accept the team's choice. I most certainly would.
