Hi there!

I've created a smileys competition on my webpage. It's the second competition I organize and this time there's even a real prize for the winner to be delivered via snailmail!

I just do this on my own for the fun of it, so please excuse me if this is not the right place/forum to post this. I don't want to annoy anyone.

The competition rules are:

• It started the 5th of July and will finish the 18th of July 2006.
  
• You should send your smileys to my email address: oink.es.fabuloso@gmail.com (or just post them here in this thread, and I'll pick them up!
  
• You can send as many smileys as you want. Size should be equal or smaller than 13x13 pixels.
• Of course, all smileys submitted should be yours.
• Front view only, no side view.
  
• Background colour should be transparent or white.

The smileys sent so far are here (of course, there's difference in quality because they are sent by different people):

Here are the 1st competition entries:

Prize: I've been using the following smileys on my webpage for several years:

Looks pretty fun. Maybe I'll make some.

umm how many colors can we use? does it have to be really simple like all the others?

I was gunna ask that too, but i'm guessing it doesnt really matter, not being in the rules n' all.

you can use as many as you want! (it's only a 13x13 grid, so I don't think there're so many that could fit in there anyway! )



yepp, you get my "real life smileys" that's the prize!

I second that.
Although there might be a little color problem.. uh-oh

Since you only have a limited number of colored beads, the best thing to do would be get the closest corresponding 'computer' color to those beads so that when people start making emotes that their colors will be 'real-life' transferable.

Anyhow, I may work on some emotes for this little competition, sounds like fun. XD

I already published on my weblog that the prize was going to be a set of my own smileys, but I understand that one might prefer his own smileys on his fridge! So... let's see... try to stick to the same 28 colors I've used on my own smileys. I.e.:




Since I've got beads for all these colors, there shouldn't be a problem! I'll give the winner at least some of his own smileys as well (or we can let the winner choose what he wants). But take into account that maybe I won't be able to do all of the winner's smileys! There's someone who has already submitted more than 200!

Is that cutman beside the blue haired snader?

Btw, 13x13 is pretty damn small.
