Title: best banner catagory for next years felxi awards.
Post by: KrazyKelsey87 on January 19, 2011, 06:59:47 PM: I've noticed a lot of really awesome banners on the website and think a best banners category would be cool.

Sorry Mare, I see you don't like banners too much.

Not everyone uses banners, so it would be a bit unfair as only banner users would be given consideration, instead of everyone having a chance with the way it is at the moment. Does that make sense? It does in my head anyway!

That would be like book publishers giving an award for best cover (Caldecott aside of course). I mean someone could have an awesome banner but the story could be riddled with issues. Don't judge a book by it's covere!

With that said, I'll go play with Photoshop some more, haha

It does make sense. Everyone who writes has a chance to be nominated/win an award, but not everyone who writes makes banners or has epic photoshop skills. That, and AC is a writing website when we as a group have the common interest of writing and helping each other out with that particular craft.
