Welcome to another Graphic Challenge, where our members may compete to create a fun Christmas banner for the support forum! This Challenge is not just a contest, as we have had in the past. Instead, this contest is especially focused on improving your graphic abilities and will feature two new features that a normal contest does not have.

1) After the contest period, Graphic Designers will take the time to critique your work and give tips on how to improve your skills. If you are not interested in receiving a critique afterwards, just let us know when you submit your work and we'll be sure not to make one for you. (This is optional--you don't have to have a critique if you don't wish to have one.)

2) The contest will now include a graphic challenge rule -- this time, it will be an image that you will be required to include in your work and to make it fit or blend in with the banner as best you can. This will not be the particular challenge every single time, though, so keep that in mind for the future.

Size (In Pixels): 865px Wide × 201px Tall (Height Required, Width Editable)
Images to include: This Image
Text to Insert: "Forum of the Forums" & "Official Support Forum of Forumotion"
Detailed Description: Keeping the background color of 369fcf is not required, but preferred! If you do not have that color of a background, having one that is transparent or a color that will look good on top of 369fcf is also acceptable! You can also add the optional text of "Merry Christmas," "Happy Holidays," or some other Christmas-y text that you desire.

A modern design with a Christmas theme, while also including the image linked above is your challenge. How the image is used (regardless of its color, opacity, or amount of cover in the image) is entirely up to the artist. We truly look forward to seeing your submissions so that we can all improve our design skills together as a community!

When submitting your work, please keep in mind that we will only accept one submission for each participant and that all submissions must be posted in this thread in order to be accepted. If you make multiple banners, please specify which one you wish to be considered for the voting. Lastly, if you don't want a critique over your submission by a designer, just let us know when you post your submission and we'll skip you during that phase of the challenge. Thank you!
