Contest worth $1500 of software

I'm hosting a contest on my site for artists. Requesting a new banner/logo, etc.. The winner will get $1500 worth of software. This is in conjunction with Right Hemisphere (Deep Paint 3d, etc) and DAZ (Victoria and Michael 2.0). I would like to invite everyone to join in. If you win, it could be a great opportunity for you. If you own a website, I would really appreciate any additional links you can add for the contest as well.

When all is well, then I am glad. Still, I do prefer to warn when I notice possible problems, than to keep silent and see the damage done. (as on Audre's site...it really gave me a shock as I never saw this kind of warning before)
So: no need for future reference, afaic there will be none, and success with your contest.

Thanks Earl. I can't complain. They are looking out for the best interests of the artists. I would do the same in their position. In reference to the bandwidth questions...I did in fact speak with Renderosity last night and was told as long as I was saving the images (uploaded to my site) and have the artists permission, they do not consider that as stealing bandwidth. It is no different than the artists sending me the pictures directly. Just for future references.

Dear Complex Mind--

You did not sign in with a real name, nor an email.

Additionally, you're requesting site information to spread word of your contest, which, hey, costs you no money but requires work on *our* part.

Please provide our forum with this information, or I will treat your contest as spam and remove it from our site on Friday.


Regards,

Free education! The Writings Web site
and the updated GaryWorld Gallery is pretty okay, too.

Dear Complex Mind--

We get hit an unusually large number of times by trolls and spam, and I'm trying to keep it clean and creative here, instead of being an actual moderator...at least for the while.

You're verified, and I welcome you to our forum. Please forgive the tone and content of my original email.


Sincerest Regards,

Another detail.
When clicking on your site and browsing to the 3D art, I found that Fyrene's gallery on YOUR site is in fact theft of bandwidth from www.renderosity.com .
Knowing Renderosity, it won't be long before they find out and, like Audre's (I love her art), your site will get the "bandwidth stolen from renderosity.com" message instead of images. You may well do something about it before you get this mark on your site.

If you don't work against time, time often works for you.

Just wanted to send a reminder that the contest will be ending in June and wanted to give you the opportunity to join in. Remember, approximately $1500 worth of software is a great prize for you.

Well, I guess all is well in the world now. haha
I must admit, it was an "interesting" welcoming. But, I take nothing personnally and can smile at just about everything.
I do hope that someone who reads these doesn't forget about the initial reasoning for the posting. Thecontest, even though the messages were really entertaining. Don't forget the contest!
