Hello everyone

The Banner Art Collective (http://bannerart.org/), in collaboration with
Velvet-Strike (http://www.opensorcery.net/velvet-strike/), announces the
Banner-Strike Contest.

Banner-Strike is a contest for digital graffiti and net.art that is
created under specific limitations and which critically examines the
impending war in Iraq.  All entries will be displayed in bannerart.org's
ongoing banner art exhibition and also turned into a Velvet-Strike spray
(to be installed in Counter-Strike).  The winner of the contest will win
the October 2003 release of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and will be
highlighted on the front page of both sites for one month.

The deadline for submissions is 16 April, 2003.  The winner will be
announced on 18 April, 2003.

- Technical Requirements -

Submitted banners need to be in gif or jpeg/jpg format with no
animation.  All of the following sizes are acceptable: 234x60, 88x31,
120x60, 120x240, 125x125, 240x400, 300x250, 336x280 and 250x250. To
submit, go to bannerart.org and use the submission form upload your work
for review. Please mark in the "special requirements" field on the
upload form that your submission is for the contest and not just for
normal entry to the site's continuing banner art exhibition, submissions
for which are continuing as usual.

All entries will be shrunk proportionally and converted to a spray paint
.wad file by the creators of Velvet-Strike. You can do this conversion
yourself to test how your work might look, by downloading the freeware
application "Wally 1.55b" on the "Counterspray" site
(http://www.counterspray.com/makeyourown.htm). Below is the list of
conversion sizes that will be used:

234x60 half-banner->192x48
