What a great contest for the graphic designers on here! Good luck everyone! :thumbsup:

Oh no, what a pity! That really sucks. I'm so sad for you.. and why is this 18+? Dumb :(

Legal/contractual reasons. Same reason people who enter sweepstakes etc have to be over 18.

Cool contest... Looking forward to seeing the winning design.

(a) The Work must be entrant’s own original work, created solely by entrant; must not have been previously published, released or distributed in any form; must not have won any award; and must not infringe the copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other personal or proprietary rights of any person or entity.

(b) Except as set forth on the Contest Site, the Work must not contain or reference any names, products or services of any company or entity or any third party trademarks, logos, trade dress or promotion of any brand, product or service.

Can anyone explain what those mean?? does it mean i cant get an image of THIS band from the internet and edit it in photoshop or somethig? :o

Taking a stab at it-

(a) NO STEALING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK. That's plagiarism, fool.

(b) I think this means no names/logos unrelated to Green Day or its members, i.e. no Facebook, Coca-Cola, Fender, Gretsch, etc.

And yes, I'm fairly certain it means you can't just 'shop an existing photo. Sorry!

I'm confused. :unsure: Most entries contain pictures of the band. :runaround: :runaround:

Are we allowed to use photos/official artwork of them? What can we do exactly?

I'd love to know that too! :sherlock:

If I'm interpreting the rules correctly - and I'm probably not - then all those entries would be disqualified in favor of an illustration/caricature/drawing of some other kind. The exception would be if the entrant can prove that the photo is their own property, and not just something they grabbed from a Google image search.

Interesting that the word "obscene" is in there twice. My first instinct would be to say yes, it would be disqualified unless the "fuck" was covered or removed.

Hi Michelle,

THanks for writing in. You shouldn't use copyrighted materials to make your design. Instead, use the photo as inspiration for your design and be be safe from being disqualified.

Best of luck,

Derek

I don't know -.- I'm not the only one who has used pictures and logos of green day ... If so, the majority of participants will be disqualified! They had to write the rules in a better way next time! *disapointed*

The only reason I wanted to enter/win this, was to get tickets for the Philly show. Turns out I'll move to Philly the 28th, which is about a week too late for the show. No way I'm going to ask my fam for a few days off to go to a Green Day show in another state. Oh well. IF I even win, I'll just explain the situation, and ask for tickets to a non-existing upcoming Green Day show. :P Aaaaand I'm off to work on my design again.

I'm just now finding out about this. But this seems awesome!

I'm not going to enter because I am HORRIBLE at photoshop. :P Either way, this seems awesome! What a great contest, going to be some hard competition, I'm sure! Good luck to whoever is going to enter! *coughcoughflocoughcough* ;)
