A
personalized
artwork by JET3000 - TFG's
Featured Artist will draw any fighting game character
of your choice, whom will be portraying an "emotion" of
your choice. A copy of the artwork will be signed by
JET3000, professionally framed, and mailed to you!
D-one's
winning banner highlights the epic combination of Ryu and Kazuya
in celebration of the highly anticipated upcoming title, Street
Fighter X Tekken. The use of "magenta" in this
banner was a risky
choice, but it works... and makes sense since red + blue + Ryu +
Kazuya + Hype = ...Magenta (obviously). 
D-One also submitted a badass Street Fighter Alpha 3
themed banner (in addition to a cool Virtua Fighter 5
themed banner) that scored very highly, nearly taking 1st
place itself.

Roy Droog's
Genjuro themed banner is a winner for obvious reasons. Simple,
stylish, and classy... plus you simply can't go wrong with a
badass samurai like Genjuro. Roy also contributed a variety of
other sleek banners that scored highly.

DERRICK
AVILES WINS:
There's
always a ton of stuff going on in Derrick's Banners, and his
latest TFG banners do not disappoint. His wildly flashy,
in-your-face, and sometimes hilarious banners definitely speak
for themselves. Don't miss his awesome "retro" banners
featuring Match of the Millennium style sprites and a
random cameo by... Zack Rider? 
Epic stuff as always.

By Kiyotaka

KIYOTAKA WINS:
As a huge Tekken
fan, I fell in love with Kiyotaka's awesome Tekken Tag
Tournament 2 themed TFG banner the first time I saw it. It's
ultra sleek, looks great on a variety of pages on the website,
and one of my personal favorites this year! His Alisa
Boskonovitch "Updates" banner is also pretty epic.

Create-a-Banner 2011 Guidelines:
1.
Banners should be no
larger than 600 X 250 pixels! Otherwise, any size or shape
is acceptable. Use of official fighting game artwork for banners is recommended.
Original artwork is also acceptable.
2.
Banners should read "The Fighter's Generation"
or "TFG,"
or
can be created for any
of the website's various sections such as "Characters,
Games, Funnies, Features, News, etc." Using the the text "TFG"
or "The Fighter's Generation"
on all banners
is highly recommended but not required. Also feel free to include the web address on any banner...
"FightersGeneration.com".
Also be sure to double check your spelling and use exciting fonts!
3.
Animated banners are
also accepted! Just keep the animations relatively short & sweet. Remember, the smaller & sleeker = the better.
4.
The theme of this year's contest
will simply be "transparencies". Create a banner with transparent edges so that
the website's background can still be seen (as demonstrated below) and
be creative! If you don't know
how to use transparencies or simply don't want to, feel free to create a classic banner as
well. You don't necessarily have to use transparencies to win, but it
will increase your chances of winning this year.
5. This year, there will be TWO 1st
place winners!
One
1st
place prize for
"Best TFG Banner" and one
1st place
prize for "Best TFG Section Banner". Additionally, there will be an
"Overall Runner-up" winner. Without further adieu, here are this year's prizes!
6.
There's no limit to how many banners you can enter into the contest. Increase
your chances of winning and create as many awesome banners as you can conjure
up... but remember, quality always beats quantity. Please email all banner entries HERE.
