Hello, cricket lovers and fans!

It's time for a Banner Contest in the Cricket Forum!

We are inviting all our creative graphicers to get in the spirit and create lovely banners for us

Theme: ICC ODI World Cup

Before you begin, take a look at the RULES below!

Number of players on the banner - Minimum 10 and Maximum 18

Mandatory Players - At least 6 players from the winning teams of 2025 ICC Women's ODI World Cup and 1983 and 2011 ICC Men's ODI World Cup. Rest can be a mix of players from current and retired, Indian and other national, Men and Women who played in ICC ODI world cup tournaments. We are aware that some of the graphicers are not familiar with cricket. We can provide players' names and images if required.

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

You can submit up to a maximum of two banners only. If you want to submit two banners, make sure they both look completely different from each other. If you use the same player in both banners, please use two different images of them.

If we receive only one or two banners by deadline, they will be displayed for 1 year or 6 months each respectively without any voting. If we receive 3 or more banners by deadline, we will organize a voting round.

All banners will be displayed as per the predetermined duration.
