As you guys now know we have moved to a community owned private (off pro-boards) forum which will be the new official home for our community. This patch design competition is to raise awareness of the new site as well as raise some funds to maintain the new site. Some of the members and mods have already spent their own money to get this site started but in order to keep it going we need to raise some funds to ensure that this goes on for years to come. Knowing our community, I'm sure this is something that we can easily get done. By participating in this competition and purchasing a patch, you will essentially own a piece of the new forum.
Its time to get the 2015 patch design started. Here are a few guidelines and due dates as you get started:
All designs must be submitted
VIA PM to M.S.-ARC so that the designer stays anonymous. Upload your design online to a site like imgur and send me the link. Also let me know what size the patch is. DO NOT POST YOUR DESIGN. I will post them for you.
We want the contest to be about the design and not a popularity contest because of the designer.
DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:The 2015 patches are to have a design both in OD and in TAN only (Same design, two colors).
Keep the shapes simple in order to keep the production costs down.
Minimize the amount of different colors used in order to keep the production costs low.
ALL designs are to have the words “MICHIGAN AIRSOFT” and the web site for our new forums: “www.miairsoft.org”
These patches will be embroidered and have a merrowed edge so keep that in mind as you design.
Submissions that do not meet these minimum requirements will not be accepted.
TIMELINE:
You can start submitting your designs to me until April 30 11:59pm which gives us almost two weeks to get a variety of designs. After May 1 we will set up the patch voting procedures to select the winning design.
PATCH SELECTION:The submitted designs will be voted on by the MIA community similar to what we did for the last patch.
http://miairsoft.proboards.com/board/106/michigan-airsoft-patch-voting The winner will receive one free patch in a color of their choosing as well as a year long pass to all airsoft events at Hole in the Wall Paintball (special thanks to Canto & Hole in the Wall Paintball).
Again the proceeds from the 2015 patches will go towards the costs of running and maintaining our new forum
www.miairsoft.org which will be owned by the MIA community. We will no longer have to comply with uneducated rules and restrictions and we will have a fully functional commerce section as well.
