Contests that are open to all designers...

Perhaps I haven't looked in the right thread, but I'm not seeing a thread about "Contests that are open to all designers". Imparticular: The rules.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of colors a designer can use in an illustration, where the contest-holder has not indicated otherwise?

Q: Besides the prerequisite of having at least 10 posts, are there any other requirements a designer must meet before he/she can submit a design?

Q: The official DC canvas contains a bitmap. In CorelDrawl 12, the bitmap cannot be arranged "to back", or it may have properties that leave it
"always on top". What can I do to fix this?

There is not a specified limit in our rules, but you may want to ask the CH using the comments area of the contest page if he prefers a certain amount of colors, or what the usage of the logo will be.

Not in the OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS contests. There are, of course, rules regarding the entries however. (no clipart, must be vector, etc) These guidelines are explained in the knowledgebase.

I don't know how to answer this one... maybe another designer using CorelDraw with our canvas can jump in here?

Mike, I am not sure about how Corel works, but can't you just recreate the logo sheet in corel? Then you could post it for other corel users. I would run it by one of the moderators or Sergy, but I am sure they would not mind as long as it matched the original.

Mike, I do use Corel. I'll post a link for you can download a COREL version of the canvas.

Regards.

Here you go Mike.
Regards.

btw: If you continue to get a similar situation, try to move the whole group of elements out of the "Master" main layer, to a New "Page" and layer.
