To take a look to see who you need to go to for tournament assistance, please visit our updated Task Distribution List. Please welcome these 3 members to their roles as TDs.
*Note: L M S was set to join the TD ranks as well, but he had to drop out due to an unexpected major change at work.
And to serve as a kickoff of the TPA4 season, it's time for another cup design contest!
You Can Design the Season 4 TPA Cup!
Seasons One and Two of the TPA had very nice logos, with Tournament Cups designed by Sir Ricco. Last year, we held a contest that was won by ndrs!
First, have a look at the three previous Cups:
Spoiler
Season One
Season Two
Season Three
Season Two
Season Three
These probably give you a decent idea of what the TPA Cups have in common:
- Each is based on the Standard CC Tournament Achievement Medal (Tournament Cup)
- Each has the CC star.
- The cup may have the current year or season listed on it.
- Each has the letters "TPA" and the full title "Tournament Players Association"
- Each has a decorative wreath of some kind around the cup.
- They are something in the neighborhood of 160 x 216 pixels.
So now you know what we want:
The same, but different. Different, but the same. In other words, create a logo that is immediately recognizable as being in the same family as the others, but at the same time has a new and distinctive personality.
By the way, we also want to have a signature to help market the event to others (and because my old signature disappeared). Signatures must follow these rules and be submitted along with the cup:
- Include a copy of your actual cup image from the stamp picture (must be the same cup).
- Must be no larger than 600 pixels wide and 150 pixels tall.
- Should be less than 500 kbs in file size.
- You have until August 31st to create your designs and submit them to Night Strike using the PM Subject "TPA Cup Design Contest" (without the quotes).
- You must host your submitted images at least until the winners are announced.
- The entries will be judged by the Tournament Directors.
- The following prizes will be offered if and only if there is decent popular interest in this contest, consisting of at least 5 serious entries:
- Winner: A General Contribution medal as well as one of either 6 months of premium membership OR a pre-reserved spot in every TPA4 tournament.
- 1st Runner-Up: 1 Conquer Cup entry (or equivalent value in Conquer Credits)
- Fewer than 5 serious entries will result in no runner up prize.
- By submitting an entry, you obviously grant CC and the TPA the right to use your graphic. You certify that this is your work. Nothing is created in a vacuum, but please no blatant plagiarism.
totally missed this thought the deadline was Sept 3rd
