A couple of suggestions for people who are entering the banner contest

1. Read the rules first. If you've made a banner and posted it in a discussion, it won't count. You have to actually upload the image directly to the interest category. 2. Have someone proofread your banner for spelling errors. I've seen so many that were great except for the errors. I doubt they'll pay for mis-spelled banners. (though who knows, I could be wrong on this one.) 3. Include some reference to myLot. I mean, there are a couple that are interesting pictures and all, but they're not banners for myLot if they have nothing to do with this site.

Hello bungirl. Are you planning to join the banner contest? I don't have any intention of joining since I'm really poor with this computer thingy. Uploading pictures and creating a unique banner is not something I'm really good at. I'm sure your discussion will benefit a lot of mylotters who will try their hands on this latest contest.

I check the banners. I like the first and the third one. The second one is too simple for me. The third one is the best. You might like to add some words below each avatars. Like join, connect, discuss, earn, make friends. :)

Hmm this is interesting So the more banners you post the more banners you will have selected and paid for right

Well, it depends on the quality of course, but you certainly have better chances if you post many high quality banners than if you just post one or two.

How do we make a good banner? I want to join this contest but I am having a hard time to understand what to do. Can you send me a message about the banner contest. I really want to join. I want to know how to make it. I love joining banner contests but just this one I cannot really understand. Please help. Thank you!

Well, for that you're really on your own. My suggestion is to look at some of the banners that you see as you surf the web regularly, and determine what makes a good one, then apply that to your creation.

Good tips BunGirl especially the one about getting someone to proofread the banners before submission. Quite a few of the banners that have been submitted were clearly not checked - I doubt myLot will pick them as winners.
