Omg the freaks have come out of the woodwork!

Do you really think that the peeps at FunCom can't take whatever format file you produce and edit/manipulate it to what they need ?

talk about over complicate it .....

.jpg in ZIP or RAR because then you get CRC error check.

70-90% comprssion - usually works well for most images

whaterver DPI

8, 16 or 24 bit CMYK or RGB... click of a button and it can be changed anyway

adobe 98 is good form most stuff - but most peeps don't even know what that is - so Im sure FC are not bothered about ICC profiles.

Interlaced or not ..... who cares ?

They have all the graphical editing tools you could ever want and more... don't you think?

/flame me now ... kthxbye.....

Yes, you may use in-game screenshots and concept art. There are no specific dpi requirements only that the size resolution is 256x128 and it is under 1MB per submission.

Some excellent submissions streaming in... Keep up the good work!

I have a question... I run a fansite (AOFroobs.com) and was thinking of submitting to the billboard competition. But then another player pointed out that this is supposed to be for Orgs. Is there another method of submission I should seek out for a Fansite billboard? or can I submit to this as well.

Here's a question, will you post the entries for all to see? I for one would love to see all the wonderful entries. (not just the winners in game)

Perhaps make an 'Org Listing" that uses the billboard art if available?

Just a thought, Cheers!
