Good stuff. Did you mean to just copy/paste what was apparently agreed upon and posted elsewhere, or did you mean to edit it prior to posting it here? I'm assuming you meant to take out the "Ok, here's the official post of what will be put in The Septagon:" and one of the [quote][/quote]...

Ooh...

I'm no good with Wallpapers, but maybe... just maybe I'll enter. If not, I hope it goes well.

Perhaps I'll enter. I need some distraction from the constant writing anyway. One question though, regarding the "Bungie related". Should I make, for instance, a wallpaper about Marathon, I'd consider it more of a Marathon related wallpaper than a direct Bungie related wallpaper. I suppose that a wallpaper about one particular game is qualified, but a direct answer from the judges/contest creator would be nice.

Wallpapers based on games produced by Bungie are acceptable entries.

Well since it was discussed in SCC, I would assume that it is from anything that is Bungie, including games. Although, I never did anything with this contest (I'm such a bad Admin), so it may be different than what I think.

Hi Alex!!!

Oly Oly Oxen Free... -Spartan II Code Phrase

I will enter the contest, but I don't want the prize (if I win), so if I do get in the top 3 I would just like to be recognized, or just as top Honourable Mentions, thanks.

EDIT: And for the sizes, it says it needs to be 1280 x 1040, but don't you mean 1280 x 1024?

EDIT 2: I've just entered my second one! I would just like to say that some of the others are great, keep it up guys!

Does it have to be created on a computer, or could we like paint a painting on a canvas and scan it/save it as the required size?

You can draw the picture however you want. Just make sure it fits the standards for submission.

Yes, thank you for pointing this out. The rules have been modified, but any wallpapers that used the size 1280 x 1040 are still valid submissions.

That's what I thought, I made my wallpaper in 1280x1024 and I couldn't upload it, so I made a 1280x1040 one. I was asking myself : who on earth uses 1280 x 1040 for resolution? I thought it may be to keep the aspect ratio of 1024x768 when you reduce it. Anyway there's not much difference so you can stretch it without seeing the difference.

Alright, I've updated the page so you can now submit 1280 x 1024 sized images. However, you can no longer submit 1280 x 1040.
