I'd like to participate, but first, really important question: What size (in pixels or cm or inches) should the image be? And at what resolution?

Thanks!

Would like to participate!

Is there any information that is vital to the poster?

Hi guys! So glad you're interested.

@Buggiedude2340 - I'm currently finding out the specifics for the answer to your question. I'm highly untechnical so I've called in for some back up! Will let you know, as soon as I do

@Certainly Love - WELCOME! <3

@magpie94 - The web address, that you need parental permission below age 13 (you know, like small print stuff). More important info will be made available when they sign up!
We just need to have that catchy design to hook them in. Good luck!

@Buggiedude2340
The total flyer should be big enough to fit on one 8.5x11 (inches) sheet of paper, about a quarter of an inch away from all sides (or, at least, it looks fine with that space missing, if you want to take colour right to the edge). Logos, however, cannot be past that quarter of an inch mark, else they'll be cut off when the thing's printed.

Image resolution is probably best at 150 pixels per inch. However, 72 is okay!

Size of the logo(s) used is up to you and is part of the whole "how good does it look" thing.

Also, you don't have to use both logos!

I'd love to participate! Time to get brainstorming....

Is there any color preference to the flyer?

Hi @ComicalCrafty

No colour preference. That's your choice. Show us your creative side!

Looking forward to seeing your final design!

@OliveDreams - Thanks.

This one's kinda simple, but it's something.

Amazing @ComicalCrafty! Exactly the kind of thing we're looking for!

Thank you, @OliveDreams! Good luck, everybody.

I'm in.,
Do we have to use the given logo?
Thanks.,

And are we posting the final product right here?

Hi @steward!

The given logos would be useful as it's what represents the site.

And yes! Posting here is just fine! Or if you prefer, you can send your entry to me in a PM.

Good luck! <3

Another question if you don't mind., xD
Can we in any way alter these logos?
And how many entries are we allowed?
