We've had this Samanayr link button for over a year now, and it's time for a change! Your task is to create a set of beautiful new signature link buttons for Samanayrs - one large and one small The grand prize winner's buttons will become official link buttons for Samanayrs, and the two runners-up may have their buttons added as well!

Not sure what a signature link button is? It's basically the image that myself and others use in their signatures, presentations, and on sites to link to the Samanayr website and/or forum. Here's the current button:





The prizes for this event are pretty spiffy! There are three main prizes available in the prize pool - the grand prize winner will have first pick of the prizes, first runner-up will have second pick, and second runner-up will receive the remaining prize:



In addition, all entrants will receive a random one of the three special accessories available this month - Black Bow Tie, Pink Carnation Leg Band, or Silver Tiara!





You all know me, there has to be a few of these XD

- There is a limit of one entry per person.
- Please just enter via PI or the Samanayr forum, not both places.
- Your entry should be a themed set of signature link buttons - one 50 x 150 pixels and the other 50 x 50 pixels in size. The smaller button should just be a smaller/more compact version of the larger button.
- Entries can be static or animated.
- The only required text on the buttons is 'Samanayrs' (or 'Sams' for the smaller button) - you're welcome to just stick with that or add anything else!
- You can use any Samanayrs listed under the database under my name, your own Samanayrs, and Samanayrs owned by the following people:

If you'd like to volunteer your own Sams for use, just let me know and I'll add you to the list!

I'll be narrowing the entries down to the top 10, and then posting a poll on the Samanayr forum so that you can vote on the winners! In the event of a tie, there will be a one-day vote-off to determine the ultimate winner.



To enter the signature button contest, please send me a PM with the subject "Signature Button Contest" and the following filled out:

Anything to add?

This will be open until June 23, 4pm PDT and voting should begin shortly after - good luck

_________________

MY SAMS ARE SEXY I volunteer to add mine to the list, if people want to use any for the button XD

_________________

Sushi...do you realize just how hard it is to fit such a long word as 'Samanayrs' onto a 50 pixel wide image and still have it be legible? Any way we could shorten it to 'Sams' for the smaller button?

_________________

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that XD Yes, feel free to shorten it to Sams for the smaller button! And you will be added, Lakota :O

_________________

Oh my! I'll definitely be participating in this!

Sushi, would you please add my name to the list of owners offering up their Sams for graphic manipulation?

All of my Sams are certainly free to be used as well, if you want to add my name to the list. ^^

A bit late...but my Sams are willing to volunteer to pose for banners too.

_________________

can't wait to see who wins

I've added all of the volunteers to the list The signature button contest ends tomorrow, don't forget to get those entries in!

_________________

Thank you so much for your entries in the signature button contest! It was very difficult to narrow it down to 10 finalists for the voting, and Mr Sushi had to help me out XD

Voting is now open for the winners:

http://samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1128

The poll will close automatically on Sunday, and even if I'm not around you'll be able to see the winners right away! Good luck!
