Theme
This week's theme will be "this week in history". You may take any event that happened this week in history and make a banner based upon it. To spice things up, your entry must be submitted upon the day of which this event happened so dont forget to plan ahead.
You may pick any event from history to base your entry upon but please provide reference as well to the event happening in addition to any source materiel as normal.
Deadline
Entries must be submitted before the thread for next week's contest is posted on Monday, September 30th, 2013.
Rules
General:
A new contest and a poll for the old contest is posted every Monday (give or take a few due to timezones).
You may not vote for your own entry.
Gimmick accounts cannot submit entries.
You may not post just to list the people you voted for; you must provide some additional content, such as your reasoning for voting as such.
Submitting Entries:
You may send in entries until the poll is up.
Once you have posted an entry, you may only make minor changes to it. All such minor changes must be okayed by a contest moderator.
Entries that don't fit the theme are not allowed, unless allowed by the moderator.
All entries should be made in full by the submitter. This includes resizing
Your entry can only consist of one banner/avatar/wallpaper, unless otherwise specified. No rotating banners, no sets.
All entries have to be created for the contest; you cannot submit something you made for some other purpose.
All art must be cited. For card art, simple card tags will do, otherwise please provide the artist's name and a link to the art. Please note whenever any of this information is unavailable or if you used original pieces.
You may use non-magic art as long as the contest doesn't say otherwise.
If you have any question about whether your entry falls within the rules, please PM one of the moderators about it before posting the banner.
Schedule:
Every week that ends in zero, we'll have a wallpaper contest.
Every other week will be either an avatar contest, a banner contest, or both.
Avatars:
Avatars must be between 50x50 and 100x100 pixels.
Avatars may be animated.
Avatars must be usable as a forum avatar. This means that they should be less than 40KB in filesize.
Banners:
Sig submissions cannot be larger than 600x100 or 450x150. They can be no smaller than 300x50 or 225x75. Given the theme, the sizes can vary.
Banners cannot be animated unless the theme states otherwise.
Animated banners cannot have a file size greater than 500 KB.
Wallpapers:
Wallpapers must be between 800x600 and 1280x1024 pixels; no smaller or bigger.
Wallpapers cannot have animation.
Trophies:
Trophies will be awarded for every three contests a participant wins.
***NOTICE*** as the original schedule that was established set up, this week will be a wallpaper contest. Considering our usual low turn outs though we will take any entries but grading may dictate if it is a wallpaper or not. I honestly dont even know if people want to do wallpapers or not so please voice any concerns you may have on this. I personally probably cant pull one off myself but power to anyone who can.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
LordGrimpow goes unoposed :(. It was a good entry though so there is that.
Hopefully I have more time to put in some entries when states is over. This subject matter might have been a bit difficult. Hopefully we see more next week.
