To all DC Members:

New Guidelines/Rules: As of February 1, 2005, the guidelines for all Design Team members, as well as regular forum members, have been altered. Please make sure that you have read and thoroughly understand them before entering any of the contests.

Original Work: Any design that you submit to any of the contests must be 100% your own original creation.

• Premade templates are not allowed - even if you've altered them significantly.
• Clip art/dingbats are not allowed to be used in part or in their entirity for creating business identities/logos.
• When using stock images for website mock-ups/header graphics, etc. make sure that you're well aware of the usage agreement and that you're not in violation of any copyrights.

Similar Designs: - As a professional courtesy, if you see that you have created a design that is very similar to what another designer has already entered into a contest, kindly refrain from posting your design. For more information on this topic please read the Plagiarism Article.

We hope that each designer will strive to present fresh, unique concepts to each one of the design contests.

If you're ever in doubt as to whether you should post something or not, ask one of the Mod's or Admin. prior to posting.

Thank you!

from now on we are offering interested companies to sponsor a contest in the community contests section.

What you will get is a message about your company and your services posted in the contest's thread (and it will stay there forever) and here and a shorter message in the newsletter about the contest sent to 3000+ members of our forums.

It will cost you only $20 (you can either send the money via paypal to resurepus@gmail.com , if you want to pay by cheque, please, contact me for details) and the money will cover the cost of the printing and shipping the official DC t-shirt - the prize for the contest winner.

so far there is more demand from contest sponsors than cotests we can run at the moment so we have to form a line. If you are interested in having a place in the line, please, send the payment and the advertising message to the address above.
