As the idea of a new contest seems to be a popular one, here we go...
The idea of the contest is to design a new colour scheme for Chaos - that doesn't include having to create buttons or anything like that, so don't worry about needing serious graphics or programming skill. You don't.
Any questions regarding the contest should be put in this thread, so that everyone is working from the same information and there is no confusion.
The Rules
1. The contest is open to all members of Chaos. There is no other requirement or pre-condition.
2. All entrants must create their own thread in the General Forum headed: '2009 Layout Contest: Name of entrant'. This is to make absolutely clear whose work is where and also makes it easy for everyone to find the entrants at will.
3. You may comment on other entries, but please do NOT slate the entrants, however much you may dislike their designs. This is a friendly contest and I don't want anyone hurt by it.
4. You may create as many entries as you wish. All entries by the same entrant should be placed in their contest thread. Multiple entries by the same person do NOT require multiple threads.
5. You may use any colour or combination of colours you like for your entry/ies. I now have some great ways of interacting with the forum design panel, so just about anything except metallic colours should be possible.
6. All entiries submitted for the last Chaos contest may be re-submitted for this one.
7. The contest will officially end at midnight GMT New Year's Eve 2009. All entries after this point will be disregarded. No exceptions will be made for any reason.
8. The winner will be chosen by popular vote amongst the boardies at Chaos in a poll created for this purpose. There may be multiple polls if needed if there are vast numbers of entries, with the intent of reducing the list to a manageable polling size. The main purpose of such polls will be to secure the best entry by each entrant, not to eliminate entrants. Unless we get a truly extraordinary number of entrants, of course.
9. If two or more entrants tie for the winning design, there will be a run-off poll. If the designs still tie, the winner will be determined by Steve, Fille & myself from the two (or more) tying entrants. If any of us have entered the contest, the entrant(s) will be disqualified from doing any judging.
10. The winning design will be the new Chaos layout for at least six months from the day it goes up.
11. Prior winning wntries may not be re-submitted. This guarantees us a new look every time.

Next contest will be announced/begin on July 9th 2010
