Christmas Banner Competition 2

Hey everyone! Since the holidays are approaching, we have decided to bring back the Christmas Banner Competition. We gave this a shot last year and a couple of you made some really cool banners!

Rules
-Keep it safe for work. (No pornographic images)
-Try your best to blend the left and right sides of the banner into the background of the website. (The background color code is #194559)
-Make sure the theme has something to do with the up coming holidays. (Christmas, New Years, Hanukkah, etc)
-Animated banners are allowed, but make sure you export them as a .gif file. And please make sure you fix any gif rape.
-Once you've finished your banner, send it to me through a private message.

Due Date
-If you would like to have a chance at one of the 3 prizes you must submit your entry on or before December 15th.
-You are allowed to continue making your banners past the due date, but you will not have a chance at the prizes. However if we like your banner we may end up using it, so you'll still have a chance at getting your banner featured on the front page.

Side Notes
-If you are making an animated banner, we recommend making it loop, otherwise it will look weird when it replays.
-You don't have to use the templates provided, however we do ask that you use Xirod font.
-If for some reason we only receive 1 or 2 entries then the other prize(s) will be rendered null.
-Once submitted, we are entitled to use your banner as we please.
-Multiple entries are allowed.
-Not all banners will be used.

Prizes

1st place: $20 through Paypal or Steam & VIP
2nd place: $10 through Paypal or Steam & VIP
3rd place: VIP
(If you already have VIP you can donate it to someone else instead)

Banner suggestion (since im not going to try and make one. Im busy.): Have a banner of all the Darkdemon website owners having a gift exchange, in which the gift is the website, with Adam creating it and taking care of it, Mozilla selling it for quick cash, and Dark Admin burning it through the ground, then Juke trying to place our lil' humptydumpty back together again.

That's funny, I was about to say the current one looks really nice, then I noticed it was last year's winner.

I remember YEARS ago I made one for DD.org that was used as the Christmas banner.

...

It wasn't very good.

Edit: Lmao I actually found it http://web.archive.org/web/200712182244 ... demon.org/

I remember seeing that years ago! I didn't know you made it Ralph. And yea I won't be putting up the submitted banners until after the due date (Dec 15th).

Also I've received quite a few banners this year. Keep it up everyone!
