[Patreon] 2019/2020 New Year's Patreon Campaign Banner Contest! 17i52




Hi everyone,

The new year is about a month away, and it's time to spend time with your friends and family. New Year's is a time when we cherish what we have, reflect on the year just past, and look forward to what's in store in the future!
Thank you again to all of our Patreon ers for keeping us alive. As mentioned during the 2019 Summer campaign, this winter we will be refilling the AniDB bank with a new fundraising Patreon post.

The Contest 6z172l



s have the chance to contribute their creativity to the Patron post banner! See the results of our 2019 Summer contest here: https://anidb.telechargertorrent.org/post453768

For this contest, submit a New Year's-themed AniDB anime banner! The winning banner will be featured as our 2019/2020 New Year's Patreon fundraising post banner. The banner should tie in New Year's themes with both anime and AniDB.

What does 'New Year's theme' entail?

A New Year's theme should be something festive and celebratory. The idea behind New Year's is to hold a festival to celebrate the year just past, and welcome the year to come!

Some illustrative examples include:
1. Fireworks / hanabi (example: https://i.imgur.com/998qiVA.jpg)
2. Firecrackers (Asian-flavoured theme)
3. Typical Japanese festival scenes, Japanese New Year's / winter kimono (example: https://i.imgur.com/TAObrAm.jpg and https://i.imgur.com/WAWb7SZ.jpg)
4. Parties (indoors and/or outdoors)
5. Drinking champagne and other alcohol
6. Modern/Western style celebrations, such as a New Year's countdown at Times Square New York, or at Big Ben in London
7. Lingering Christmas themes
Etc. This list is non-exhaustive.


The Prize 61712u



  1. The winner will have their banner and name (unless you choose to remain anonymous) featured publicly on our next Patreon fundraising post.
  2. The winner will also receive a Creative Content badge on their page.

Here's my submission:


It's more winter-themed than new-year's-themed, but hopefully good enough. Suggestions are welcome if further edits are needed.

I'd been waiting to see what dirahna came up with, for inspiration... Can we allow some more time, at least for a submission from them?

CDB-Man mentioned that he'll give few more days for submissions to come in and hopefully our fishy fella will have enough time to make another masterpiece.

Serious submissions only; I reserve the ability to disqualify images via image requirement #9.

I'll wait until Monday before proclaiming Deth the winner by acclamation.

I really wanted to submit something, but I'm still hospitalized, and my phone makes for very poor 'shopping - and that's when I don't get yelled at for having it out.

*Sigh*

I really wanted to do a Hatsumode one, too...


EDIT:

Well, it's not a banner, it's not a submission, it's not Hatsumode, but it's at least a bit of holiday cheer, made last year, when I also couldn't participate, thanks to a shattered finger... Looking back, I've not exactly had the best year

Anyway, here's Christmas Kana, in her second appearance:

@purposelycryptic if you think you are up for submitting something in the next couple of days, I am happy to give you a bit more time and wait.

I unfortunately saw this just now and what's worse, misread the post and thought that submissions were accepted until 22 Dec. Anyhow, here it is for what it's worth.

Well, I've been out of town myself for the past few days and only got back today, so haven't had time to put up a voting thread. That and, given that I opened the door to purposelycryptic, it would only be fair to also extend that to you as well, polariser.

For that reason, up goes the voting thread with yours and Deth's submission!
