After much deliberation and a fistfight, my good lady and I have decided on the winners!

But first (and don't skip ahead!), well done to all who entered! There are some fantastic ideas there, and surely the powers that be at Rebellion's marketing department will be able to use some of them!

And the winners are...

In fourth place, "Lawmaster MK III" by Noisybast
It's a fun idea, and could be intriguing enough to entice new readers

In third place, "Fans United" by Critter
A very simple, clear and direct image, yet at the same time quite strong.

In second place, "It's not for Kids" by Funtwangle
An excellent idea, very powerful tagline, though possibly the image would be a bit overpowering.

And the winner...
"It's a Babe Magnet" by Rac
We chose this one because it's simple, it's effective, and it's fun!


Note: Leonia wanted to give a special prize to "Science Friction" by Mbanners because it features a cute cat! However, we couldn't make out what that thing was dragging the kitty back, so M@ will have to settle for having his image as the wallpaper on her PC!

Again, well done all, and thanks for taking part!

The winners should contact me with their e-mail and postal addresses (and real names) and we'll sort out who gets which prize over the next few days!

Cheers,
Mike

Ah, but you see I'm in a slightly different time-zone!

And on a different planet.

Late entries will be considered if accompanied by a sufficiently large bribe!

Guys... As I write this there are SEVEN MINUTES left got get your ideas in!

Judging will take place tomorrow!

Exciting, isn't it?

Of course, M@! You may enter as many times as you like!

Judging will take place tomorrow!

Two days to go...!

Oooh!

As promised, here are the prizes for this fabulous competition!

Prize A:
Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge, volume 1
(Audio CD containing two episodes of the classic radio show)

Prize B:
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
(Legendary PC game on CD-Rom)

Prize C:
The Very Best of Elvis Costello
(Double CD containing 42 tracks by Elvis Costello, occasionally with The Atractions)

Prize D:
Five Warhammer novels:
Beastslayer by William King (A Gotrek & Felix novel)
Vampireslayer by William King (A Gotrek & Felix novel)
Magestorm by Jonathan Green
Caves of Ice by Sandy Mitchell (A Ciaphas Cain novel)
Witchhunter by C.L. Werner

So here's how it works: the judges will choose their four favourite entries, in order of preference, and then the first-place winner will get his or her pick of the four prizes, second place will get to choose from the remaining three prizes, and so on!

Bump! Just to remind everyone... The deadline for this FANTASTIC* competition is March 31st!

So far, we've been very impressed with the entries, but there's still plenty of time, so get those ideas in!

Remember, we're looking for quality of ideas, rather than quality of execution!

At some stage in the next day or two, I'll be listing the INCREDIBLE* prizes that you can win!

Cheers,
Mike

* Not really

Ooh, spooky! We both posted at the same time!

Here's Critter's ad...!

Okay, so it's been a month since the last post on this thread...! Being an optimist, I've decided that the silence is because everyone is working too hard on their ads to have time to post any messages.

So prove me right, people! There's only two weeks left until the deadline, and so far I'm the only one who has submitted anything (and I'm not allowed to win, because I'm sleeping with one of the judges)!

Re-bump!
