Let the Art Begin!

(See the banner submissions here.)

Calling all Artists, and all wanna-be artists! All those who can do wonders with computer graphics. Or those who can just work in PowerPoint. Calling anyone with even a smidgen of artistic talent!

We hereby challenge you to create Awards banners! We hope to have at least 2 submissions per award title.

All submissions should be banner-shapped (rectangular). We want these to be something winners will want to post on their sites along with their stories. They should be in the .jpg format.

Banners must be a certain size. The banners below can be used as examples of allowed sizes. (Note: These are the only two sizes permitted.)

Some may have to be drawn as Peter Jackson hasn't made a Silmarillion movie or The Hobbit--yet. But anything LOTR can be drawn or created by using a graphics program (or PowerPoint) to edit/splice/overlay existing .jpg or .gif files.

Do not submit a banner made of someone else's art without their permission. The MEFAs will not take responsibility for this. The submitter needs to do so.

Banners should have the following Words on them: (the award title), "2005", and "MEFA". They should be geared to the individual award. For example, a Witch King banner for The Witch-King of Angmar Award, not a collection of Orcs. (You can view all the Award titles in the Rules.)

You can view all submissions on the Awards Banner page on this site. They are subdivided into the categories and awards titles. When you submit, you should go to the Photos | Awards Banners folder on the YahooGroup site, open the category folder and then, if your award title folder is not there, create it. Open your title folder, and upload your banner into it.

When uploading banners, see what is already there. For example, if you are going to upload an Eomer banner, check the Rohan folder to see if there is already an Eomer folder. Check inside the Eomer folder to see if there is already an Eomer banner. At the time of authoring of this page, there was one Eomer banner. It is labeled Eomer #1. Number yours accordingly (so yours would be Eomer #2). Then once it's uploaded, open it up, click Edit Name and, in the description, type "by (your name)."

Once your banners are submitted there, the Administrator will post them to the Awards Banner page here.

We have quite a while to work on these. We'll have a contest for the banners immediatly after the Voting Season.
