Music Corner Banner Contest 2025: Inviting Entries, deadline Feb 13

Hello everyone!

It's been a long time since our last Banner contest, and we thought there is no better time than the start of a New Year to launch another one to revamp the look of this forum!

Welcome to the Music Corner Banner Contest 2025 edition!

Calling all talented graphicers across India Forums to help us redesign this forum’s banner!

Here are a few Rules to keep in mind while you submit your entries!

The THEME for this contest is 'NOW & THEN':

meaning contemporary artists (artists and musicians from around the globe that are active & performing in the present day) & artists from the past i.e 60s era (make sure you choose only artists that were active & performing in the 1960s for the 'THEN" part of the banner)

Part A should follow the theme, meaning include images of artists from the past and present.

Make sure you have no less than 14 people and no more than 20 on the banner.

Please DO NOT repeat the same artists.

You can choose artists from any genre: pop, rock, classical, Bollywood playback singers & composers, vocalists, instrumentalists, bands etc.

You MUST have a mix of Indian and Global artists.

Part B should have the name of the forum centrally aligned and correctly spelled as

"MUSIC CORNER".

Part B should also have some generic elements related to music such as audio equipment, audio formats such as vinyls, cassettes, CDs, musical instruments, musical notes etc.

Adding other elements are left to the graphicer's choice.

Banner Size should be 1456W X 180H in pixels.

You can send up to 5 Banners. A maximum of 2 entries that are the same banner but of different coloring are allowed.

The banner needs to be non-animated.

Since the voting is going to be blinded, DO NOT add your copyright, watermark or name on the banner.

Promotion of your entry on this forum, any other forum on IF or on any other SM site or through PM to your friends will lead to automatic disqualification.

Make sure you save the raw file for your creation, if your banner wins you will be asked to provide a copyrighted version of it to upload on the forum.

I have a question - If we are taking a band / group... do we count every member individually for this 14-20 people limit or the band is considered as a single entity?
