Preliminary Bash Contests Announcement

Solid color background...

Does that rule out a white to charcoal gradient background?

I wouldn't think so. I think the meaning behind the backgrounds is for those that are known for their backdrops or pen rests (rocks, watches, etc.). That way the public won't know who made what and it'll keep the popularity contests from happening.

Most say two pics. Can one be a photo montage showing all sides the pen. Seamus's titanic pen comes to mind as an example?

You just had to pic that pen didn't you. Now he'll have a fat head for months.:biggrin:

At this point I will answer that a "white to charcoal gradient" is simply not a solid color and should be avoided in my contests. Should the need to change that decision come about it will be noted in the actual contest announcement.

Let me ponder that. I will post a definitive answer at some point.

There will be an entry form. However it hasn't been posted yet. It will be posted in the official Contest announcement which will be located in the Birthday Bast forum. The birthday Bash forum is only enabled for a short time before, during and a short time after the bash. It shoulb be coming soon. This post was just kind of a heads up so that people could get a jump on making there pens.

Question- Do the pens need to be made "for" the contest? I'm working on a pen for a customer that I'd like to enter but it's not being made 'for' the bash.

It would be allowed as long as pics of it have not been posted ANYWHERE prior to the completion of the contest. What you do with your pen after that is your business. :wink:
