Hi B&Sers!

As you've seen, our B&S layout poll resulted in a winner, and we now have a new layout all ready to go! We have Belle & Beast and Gaston banners, BUT we still need a banner for the servants.

So, as mentioned previously, we are launching a Banner Contest! We need YOUR help to have our beloved Lumiere, Cogsworth, etc. represented at the top of our site!

Rules

1. To make sure that all banners are the same size, the contest banner should be 700px × 250px (length x width).

2. The banner should contain our name, "Bittersweet & Strange."

3. The theme of the banner is the objects/servants. We referred to it as the "Be Our Guest" banner, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that scene - it's up to you! We just want to celebrate our beloved BATB objects!

4. The colors in the banner need to match or complement the colors in our new layout, which can be seen here:

5. Deadline for submitting is this coming Sunday, Jan. 17. You can post the banners right here in this thread. Then we'll have a poll to vote on the winner.

6. The winner will receive credit! (his/her name will be shown in the side banner)

So get creative, and good luck!!!

I LOVE that banner, Mandy! It's so festive, and you got Lumiere, Cogsworth AND Mrs. Potts and Babette in! (And I love Cogs' expression in that shot - adorable!)

Oooo, I like that "Be Our Guest" banner, Mandy! Great job! :)

OMG, Mandy, that's a phenomenal banner! I love the way that you combined the best expressions on all three objects faces into such a seamless whole. It's really gorgeous!

Can you count me in with everyone else? The banner is so cute. :D Great work with it, Mandy!

*coughcough*

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day that you can submit a banner for our new forum layout! C'mon, people, let's flex those creativity muscles! :D

My photo-editing software is on the fritz :( but I'm sure anything anyone else comes up with will be a million times better then anything I could create :D

Last reminder! Today is the last day to send in your entry to our banner contest!

Since no one else submitted a banner (I'm assuming everyone was too much in awe of Mandy's banner that they forgot to make some of their own :P), Mandy's banner wins the banner contest by default. Congrats Mandy! :D Your banner is going to be at the top of the forum page now!

Congratulations Mandy!

Aw haha. Thanks guys. :3
