GOTW stands for Graphic of the Week, will be divided into SOTW and AOTW (avatar and signature of the week.)

Anyone who wants to donate to the pot can, and is encouraged to do so.

As of now, the pot is: 40 FSP.

Also, are there any themes in particular that people would like to see?

Some themes off the top of my head:

Wedding
Explosion
Typography
Animation
Gambling
Pollution
Graduation

Sounds like fun GB. I'll send you a few dots to help with the pot. Maybe we can also award a little banner or something to the winner of each category. What do you think?

Themes are kinda... meh in my opinion but I also don't think that there should be a pot :) No pot will mean it will filter out the textslappers and it will make it more fun :wink: a shame though that there aren't many graphics members left on the forum :(

Yeah, agreed on the themes part but hey, nobody else is making suggestions.

Nope, sorry, pot is here to stay it's been like that all the past GOTW's, and I'm not gonna' change that. Plus, this way more people will enter. As it is the competitors are going to be at around 5ish. It's better this way.

Thanks for. Em...the banner idea...I'll think about it, but if it is executed, we'll have to keep them pretty simple, FSP should be enough, we don't want to outshine those prettiful GGT userbars.

Okay I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to the graphic forum, and I'm in no way in the same class as many folk here, but I have to ask. How does this work? I'm intrested in learning about things like this, and who knows it Might even get me to try doing graphics again, though the terms and programs confuss the heck out of me for the most part.

Skills really don't matter, it's mostly for fun. Basically, I (the host) throws out a random theme, and people submit their entries to me for voting; winner for each week receives blank amount of FSP. (depending on how large the pot is)

I encourage you to enter. :D

Before we just had a stickied thread with the name of who won and entered each week, as well as showed all the entries. Maybe just a banner for the main thread that lists the winners and the other entries.

Themes are kinda... meh in my opinion but I also don't think that there should be a pot :) No pot will mean it will filter out the textslappers and it will make it more fun :wink: a shame though that there aren't many graphics members left on the forum :(

The pot has never been a big deal in the GOTW ,it's been as low as 3 fsp and no higher than 10 fsp in previous GOTWs. It's always been more about having fun and showing your skill as well as learning new things.

It's always been more about having fun and showing your skill as well as learning new things. Right, but either way, 10 FSP is a fair amount. In most avatar contest, 10 FSP is like 2nd place. Even if having fun is the main purpose, FSP rewards are a nice addition. :)

What Grimm says makes sense. On other Gfx sites I belong to there are no prizes for SOTW and that doesn't stop people entering. The pot may be 40 FSP this week but how many people do you think will donate that kind of FSP every week? If anything the FSP given so far should be split to pay for a small pot every week for a few months.

Nobody said it did.

I was actually planning on this to be an individual pot, if enough people donated. Yes, other GFX sites have no prizes, but that's other sites. Look at ours. It's DEAD, okay? Most of the greats have moved on, we won't get enough interest without a pot. It's fine the way it is.
