Amiga World Nameplate Contest

With every edition of Amiga World, a new nameplate graces the front page. This is thanks to the always-fresh, up-late artists of the Amiga Community.

Each time AW is published, Amiga executives select the winner of the nameplate contest from a group of submissions screened by the editor of Amiga World. You can submit your nameplate contender to amigaworld@amiga.com.

Create your nameplate using the Amiga World title and subtitle (So The World May Know). You can use any software you like. It should be created at 72 dpi and be between 500 to 520 pixels wide and between 155 to 165 pixels high. The size in inches should be between 7 to 7.5 inches wide (17.75 cm to 19 cm) and 2.2 to 2.5 inches high (5.7 cm to 6.35 cm). It can be submitted in PNG, GIF or JPEG formats and should be designed to display in HTML. You will be contacted if you are chosen as the winner.

This edition's runners-up are shown here, and, of course the winner is on the front page.

Steve Etherington of the UK created the nameplate used for this issue. The image was mostly created using ArtEffect on the Amiga side with a little bit of help from Photoshop on his Mac at work. You can e-mail Steve at reaps@freezone.co.uk.

Steve's nameplate was just one of manysubmited for this issue and it was truly a dilemma choosing the winner with such stiff competition. We don't have enough room to show you every submission we received (there were dozens), but we can show you the two other finalists. David Gagely again placed as a finalist for this issue (top image below), while Al Bauschardt of Canada (bottom image below) was a strong contender, too.

Thanks fro participating and don't forget to send in your nameplate submissions for the next issue.
