Yes! It's time for our first montage contest! 😃
If you are wondering what a montage is, a montage is the thumbnail that appears on the channel page. For example, the Mythological Masti forum's montage can be found here.
However before you all go running to your graphics design programs, there are a few rules to consider!
Rules
The montage must be 120 px * 80 px only. No other size will not be accepted.
Each member can submit up to 5 montages.
The montage must state the full title of the forum with the correct spelling: Punjabi Channel
Try to include the essence of the Punjabi culture as much as you can. For example a dhol, tumbi, bhangra, gidha etc. We will not accept montages with any actors, singers, prominent personalities etc. Focus on the culture and the big picture.
Montages must be non-animated.
Please do not advertise your montage in any way. If you are found advertising your montage, your entry will automatically be disqualified. Also, please avoid advertising a particular entry (for instance, your peers). You will be held liable and face the appropriate consequences.
Please do not put your copyrights on the montage(s).
