For those of you that missed the last contest, this one's for you! AC is proud to bring our next twist to the AC "create your own avatar" contest series. Members must use the AC Logo supplied below and fashion a FREEHAND avatar by incorporating it into an avatar scheme that's all your own. Members can ONLY use "Brush Tool" and "Pencil Tool" on your photo editing program for this contest and must retain the 300 x 300 pixel size. Members suspected of cutting and pasting pictures, resizing and using other tools will have their submissions disqualified. Once we receive all of the files to the e-mail address below, avatars will be displayed for members to vote on which one they think is the best. Time to steady your hand, get your creative juices flowing and show your AC Spirit!

So, I tried to submit my avatar for the contest and got it back saying that the address contest@aquariacentral.com was not able to recieve mail. Seeing as how it is April 1st, I'm afraid to assume that this is a real problem and not just an April Fool's joke.

[Taari]

I just tried to send my avatar again and got the same message from the mailer daemon.

Maybe MG has rigged the contest so that he doesn't have to shell out $150 in store credit >.>

[CrustaceaCurtis]

Can someone confirm that this wasn't an April fools joke? I'd love that gift certificate!

So the rules are basically pencil/brush only?

[Taari]

Well, it was technically posted 2 days before april fools, so I assume the contest is not a joke. I was just afraid that the error message that I got saying the email is invalid was an april fools joke, but seeing as how I got it again today, I don't think that is either.

[CrustaceaCurtis]

Almost voting time. cannot wait!

[CrustaceaCurtis]

Seriously, what happened to this contest?

[neoprodigy]

We are extending the contest for another month due to technical issue with the mail

Well can you tell us which ones got through and which did not? I threw one together in about 45 minutes because I didn't see the original announcement until the night of the deadline. I think with a month to work on it I could, well possibly, do a better job. And it does say "one avatar per member" which rules out mutiple submissions.
thank you.
