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 0, we'll have a wallpaper contest.
Every other week will be either an avatar contest, a banner contest, or both.
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.
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.
Wallpapers:
Wallpapers must be between 800x600 and 1280x1024 pixels; no smaller or bigger.
Wallpapers cannot have animation.
Trophies:
People who have won sufficiently many weekly contests will get a trophy (or multiple) for their efforts.
The first trophy will come at 5 wins, the second at 12, then 20, then 30. If and when somebody surpasses the 30 win mark, we will make rules for larger sums.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

Trophies:
If and when somebody surpasses the 30 win mark, we will make rules for larger sums.
