Pixel based design submissions on kitesurfer contest?

[PaperSalad]

I'm seeing a lot of Photoshop/pixel based designs being submitted for the kitesurfer contest right now. While the client would probably be happier with the kind of texture and grunge we could get with Photoshop (since he's asking for a distressed look), I thought we were restricted to using vectors (and I completely understand why that rule is in place).

I'm using vectors only at the moment, but if I can use Photoshop as the others are doing I could submit edgier looks. Are there different rules for this particular contest?

Hi there

For this type of contest vectors are great but if the photoshop file is hi res and can be sent as a hi res tiff/psd then that is allowed. Logo contests are the contests we absolutely require ALL designer to create the original design in layerd vector file. One reason is because the vector file can be scaled very small to very large with no loss

with a contest like this board design you have specific size to work with and the design will not be needed to size small or very large. So you can creat the exact size at a hi res will work for the print companies

Thank you for the clarity!
