Welcome to the 1st Blogbar Design Contest ! (Read this page in French)
We’ve partnered with Mathieu from Blographic, Romain from Fubiz and Stéphane from Ici On Aime to organize this contest. The objective is, well… to design a new Blogbar design following the rules described below!

It’s pretty easy to enter, but we expect many Photoshop Gurus to play with us, so expect a really hard competition !

Rule #1 : Don’t talk about the Fight Club (OOps, sorry, that’s another one)… Use the following templates to do your design :

Blogbar.zip
- use the Blogbar-Empty PNG file to work on your design. The image of the Blogbar must be of 160×111 pixels dimensions

- apply the Blogbar-Contrained PNG on top of your design to see what’ll be the look of your design if it’s choosen by the Jury. You can NOT change the layout, style, look and feel of the elements contained in this file.
- submit 2 (two!) PNGs to us at the adress contest@blogbar.org You must submit one PNG with the design only, the second with the design + the Blogbar boxes as shown on the Blogbar-Contrained file.

Rule #2 : submit your Blogbar design before March 15, 2006.
Rule #3 : all Blogbar designs entries will be posted regularly on this blog. Any inspiration is welcome, but expect to be reported to the police and your entry refused should you submit anything illegal !

Results :
Following the close of the contest on March 15, the Jury (Eric & Samuel from Blogbar, Mathieu from Blographic, Romain from Fubiz and Stéphane from Ici On Aime) will deliberate together with a couple of beers.

Winner will be announced here on March 20, 2006.
