<h3>4chan ROTATING BANNERS + HOUSE ADS! - <a href="//s.4cdn.org/image/contests/2013bannerwinners.pdf">Ended: 07/08/13 @ 12:00AM EDT</a></h3>
|
|
<p>For the first time in over five years we're running contests for new 4chan banners. We're accepting submissions for both the <em>rotating banners</em> and our <em>house ads</em>.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Rotating Banners</strong><br>
|
|
If you've used 4chan for more than five minutes, you're no stranger to these rotating banners that have been with the site since its inception. In fact, a large percentage of these <em>are</em> from
|
|
4chan's inception (over 9 years ago), and it's about time we add some more. Below are the parameters for what we're looking for:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Must be 4chan inspired/related or board culture related.</li>
|
|
<li>Note that this is a global rotation, and there are no board specific banners. Banners should be suitable for the entire site, and worksafe.</li>
|
|
<li>Image dimensions must be 300x100. JPG, PNG, and GIF accepted. Filesize should be less than 100KB.</li>
|
|
<li>See the <a href="/contests/logowin">previous winners</a> (from 2003!) for ideas and inspiration.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p><strong>House Ads</strong><br>
|
|
These banners run in the banner ad positions (somewhat outdated example placement <a href="//s.4cdn.org/image/advertise/example_placements.png">here</a>) and link to internal 4chan pages.
|
|
The goal is to drive awareness to the various pages hosted on www.4chan.org when we aren't running paid advertisements.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>4chan inspired/related/themed. Example: incorporate characters like Yotsuba, mootcat, Anonymous, etc.</li>
|
|
<li>Banners must be related to www.4chan.org pages—such as Rules, FAQ, News, etc. No board banners will be accepted (see the above contest for these).</li>
|
|
<li>Image dimensions must be 728x90 or 468x60 pixels. JPG, PNG, and GIF accepted, but PNG preferred. Filesize must be less than 100KB.</li>
|
|
<li>See the <a href="/contests/bannerwin">previous winners</a> (from 2005!) for ideas and inspiration.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The winners will have their banners featured on boards.4chan.org and receive credit on this page.</p>
|
|
<p>Submissions should be posted to the appropriate stickied threads on /<a href="//boards.4chan.org/q/" target="_blank" title="4chan Discussion">q</a>/. Thanks in advance to all those who submit their work!

<h3>4chan LOGO (REDUX)! - <a href="/contests/logoreduxwin">Ended: 12/17/07 @ 3:30AM EST</a></h3>
|
|
<p>We're accepting submissions for a new logo to replace the current one
|
|
from the new layout. Not looking for any radical changes here; the design
|
|
should still be based off of the classic portrayal of four leaves or
|
|
Yotsuba's pigtails. I'm just looking for something new that meshes well with the
|
|
current front page. Some requirements:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Must resemble <a href="/favicon.ico">classic</a> design.</li>
|
|
<li>Needs to incorporate the new gradient into the image. Use the
|
|
<a href="//s.4cdn.org/image/fp/logo.redesign.png">interim logo</a>
|
|
for reference, as well as <a
|
|
href="//s.4cdn.org/image/fp/fade.png">this</a> fade file.</li>
|
|
<li>Should use identical or very similar "4chan - <em>FOUR MORE YEARS!</em>"
|
|
text. Feel free to copy it from the interim logo.</li>
|
|
<li>Must be PNG format, under 10KB (lower is better), and sized 300x120px.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The winner will obviously have their logo featured on
|
|
<a href="//www.4chan.org/">www.4chan.org</a> and receive credit on this page.
|
|
Submissions and/or questions should be e-mailed to me <span class="s">
|
|
here</span>. Contest will last until I select a winner or decide to end it.
|
|
Thanks in advance to all those who choose to submit work!</p>

<h3>4chan BNRS! - <a href="/contests/bannerwin">Ended: 02/15/07 @
|
|
5:00AM EST</a></h3>
|
|
<p>I ran a small contest on /i/ for 4chan inspired banners to be used as
|
|
links back to our content pages on the main website. They're being
|
|
displayed in the 468x60px rotating slot (when the paid ads don't show), and
|
|
have replaced our old in-house rotation. The guidelines were:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>4chan inspired/related/themed. Example: incorporate characters like
|
|
Yotsuba, mootcat, Anonymous, etc.</li>
|
|
<li>468x60px sized images only. PNG preferred. No images over 50KB will
|
|
be accepted.</li>
|
|
<li>Image must be related to the header pages. No board banners will be
|
|
accepted.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Thanks to all those who submitted!</p>

<h3>4chan IMGS! - <a href="/contests/imagewin">Ended: 03/29/06 @ 1:00PM
|
|
EST</a></h3>
|
|
<p>Well, it's been a while—over two years to be precise. Last night I was
|
|
considering removing this page due to its inactivity, however, I'm glad to
|
|
report this won't be the case. We need the community's help in designing a
|
|
few neat pictures to be used on 4chan's "403 Forbidden", "404 Not Found"
|
|
and banned user pages. See below for details:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Image should incorporate Yotsuba&! / 「よつばと!」's <a
|
|
href="//s.4cdn.org/image/contests/yotsuba.gif">Yotsuba Koiwai</a> in
|
|
some fashion. Other characters are permitted so long as Yotsuba is
|
|
included (remember: she is 4chan's mascot). <em>Caveat: If you have an
|
|
extremely good idea that you feel warrants submission even though it does
|
|
not include Yotsuba, submit it anyway. Incorporating <a
|
|
href="//s.4cdn.org/image/news/moot_insert2.jpg">mootcat</a> would be
|
|
neat too!</em></li>
|
|
<li>Dimensions should not exceed 500x500 pixels (smaller preferred, this
|
|
is the upper limit).</li>
|
|
<li>File type must be PNG—do not submit images saved in a lossy
|
|
compression format.</li>
|
|
<li>Please be aware of filesize, do not submit anything "huge." 200-300KB
|
|
should be more than enough to work with.</li>
|
|
<li>Multiple submissions are both welcome and encouraged. We may run a
|
|
rotating banner script on the pages so that more than one selected winner
|
|
may be viewed (comparable to the way 4chan's rotating banner works).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Submissions should be uploaded to /ic/'s submission thread, located
|
|
here. If for some reason it is impossible that you upload your
|
|
submission(s) to the preferred location, feel free to e-mail them to me at
|
|
<span class="s">the usual</span>. There is no set run time for
|
|
this contest, but it should run no longer than one week in length. I've
|
|
tossed around a lot of ideas for this in the past (in e-mails to Dan Kim at
|
|
least), so I'll include them here:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>403 Forbidden</em> - A picture of Yotsuba or mootcat holding up a
|
|
STOP sign? Something to imply no access/stop/forbidden/etc.</li>
|
|
<li><em>403 Forbidden</em> - mootcat holding her arms up in the air with
|
|
a target on her head scaring Yotsuba as Miura does in the manga. [<a
|
|
href="//s.4cdn.org/image/contests/miura.jpg">Image</a>]</li>
|
|
<li><em>404 Not Found</em> - Yotsuba bending down searching for files on
|
|
the floor. Convey files as scattered pieces of paper with scribbles, with
|
|
two readable pieces saying "404" and "Not Found."</li>
|
|
<li><em>Banned User</em> - Four panel strip showing a character: 1.
|
|
Sitting at a computer viewing the banned page (to convey banishment), 2.
|
|
Sending an e-mail off, and waiting..., 3. Still waiting ;_;, 4. Showing a
|
|
response such as "NEW MAIL! banned@4chan" on the screen, but the
|
|
character has already died and is a skeleton.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

<h3>4chan ICON! - <a href="/contests/iconwin">Ended: 12/08/03 @ 11:51PM
|
|
EST</a></h3>
|
|
<p>4chan is now looking to implement a favorites icon. This little icon is
|
|
visable in your browser under the 'Favorites' menu or in the address bar.
|
|
The requirements for this submission are as follows:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Must be visually appealing and incorporate something having to do
|
|
with 4chan.</li>
|
|
<li>The dimensions of the image need to be 16x16 pixels (no more, no
|
|
less), at 256 colors.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>All submissions or inquiries should be <span class="s">e-mailed to me</span>. Please do not post entries
|
|
or questions on the boards, last time a lot of great entries were submitted
|
|
on the board and not mailed to me—causing a few not to be used.</p>
|
|
<p>The prize for this contest is free archive access whenever it is ready.
|
|
Running time for the contest should be about a week, but remember unlike
|
|
last time only one submission will be accepted.</p>

<h3>4chan LOGO! - <a href="/contests/logowin">Ended: 10/03/03 @ 1:35AM
|
|
EDT</a></h3>
|
|
<p>4chan needs a few logos. The plan is to implement a rotating image PHP
|
|
script, and have these display on the image boards. Here are the
|
|
requirements for submission:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Must be anime or J-pop related, directly or indirectly.</li>
|
|
<li>Worksafe images preferred, however this is not a solid requirement.
|
|
Please use discretion.</li>
|
|
<li>Can be no larger than 300x100 pixels. If you think this is too small,
|
|
contact me and we can work something out.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Submissions should be mailed to me <span class="s">here</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>There is no real prize, this is more of a request than a contest. Other
|
|
than having your logo possibly displayed, you will of course recieve credit
|
|
and my personal thanks (WHAT A STEAL!).</p>
