After the success of the last contest, which was more of an experimental thing to see if the concept would work, we are now announcing the official second signature making contest!
This competition is open to any registered member of the forums. Here is what we want entrants to do: Simply make a new signature image for yourself, that you might use at these forums. Make it as well as you can, something that you can be really proud of. Post it here. Then, when submissions are over, judges from amongst the mods here at KMC will judge the sigs and award places in three categories:
1. Best-looking signature, a simple award for the one that simply looks the best
2. Best designed signature, an award for the one that the judges feel was the most expertly and competently created.
3. The cleverest signature, an award for the signature that the judges think has the cleverest concept- originality and thought count a lot here.
Closing date for this competition is the end of August. Please, take your time, as we will only be accepting single submisisons; don't submit until you are sure you are finished.
When you are done, post your entry in this thread as an attachment. DO NOT USE THIS THREAD FOR DOING ANYTHING OTHER THAN POSTING ENTRIES! People seemed to have trouble understanding this before- do not discuss, query, or ask questions here. Do that in the discussion thread for the sig making contests here:

Please, ALL queries there, this place is JUST for entries. Erroneous posts here will be deleted and I will disqualify people for posting irrelevant stuff here if I have to!
Signatures can be of any form you like- scanned pics (so long as a reasonable amount of effort is done to make it your own) or pieces of art built from scratch. Certain things are more likely to win certain awards- scanned stuff tends to look better but a well made piece from scratch is far more likely to win the design award. Your name does not HAVE to be on the sig but that is the custom- if your name is not on the sig it had best be for a design reason. If you want to accompany your entry with an explanation of how you created it, that would be welcomed.
Please observe the following rules:
1. Of course, the decision of the judges is final, and no argument will be entered into.
2. The sig cannot be more than 100K large data-wise, and must not be so big as to disrupt the formatting of the page. It can be as small as you like, it just might not get noticed if it is tiny.
3. We have to be satisfied that the signature was created yourself, and not just taken from somewhere else- it is a sig MAKING contest after all. And it has to be a NEW signature, made specifically for this contest.
4. Do NOT start using your entry as an actual signature until the contest is done! This makes it VERY hard for us to tell if you were using it beforehand or not! Any entry actually being used as a sig will not be valid.
5. It has to be a sig that we can reasonably accept would appear on the KMC forums. This includes many common sense things like it likely having a link to one the the movies covered here, and probably containing your name. More importantly, though, it must be G-rated, no profanity, or nudity, and so on.
6. ONLY ONE ENTRY IS ALLOWED. Make sure your sig is finished before posting it; only your first entry will be accepted- mistakes and all.
7. We reserve the right to change the rules at any time, for which you will have to rely on our common sense as we will rely on yours.
