We have received many fantastic ads! Thank you for entering the contest. There is plenty of time for entries, so get creative and submit your ads!

To celebrate our upcoming fifth birthday, we wanted to give away a few great prizes to our loyal readers, so we’ve picked three amazing options.

One Grand Prize winner will win a white Apple MacBook computer and 80GB iPod combination (est. retail value: $1448).
One Second Place winner will win a black 80GB iPod (est. value: $349).
And finally, one Third Place winner will win a 4GB iPod nano in Silver, Pink, Blue, Green or PRODUCT (RED). (est. value: $199).

The rules are simple. Design an effective, interesting online ad for iLounge - a banner, a badge, an emailable greeting card, a photograph, or any combination - and submit it to our iLounge 5th Birthday Contest Gallery, along with your name and e-mail address. You can use any type of original artwork or original photography; so long as it’s visually appealing and tasteful, we’ll consider it for judging.

Is it a Birthday ad or just a normal ad?

By robb castaneda on 11.01.06 at 10:03 AM

A normal ad.

By Dennis Lloyd on 11.01.06 at 11:05 AM

How big should it be? Would the size of the banner on this contest that says iLounge 5th Birthday Contest work?

By John on 11.01.06 at 03:51 PM

^ forget about that..

But I just finished 2 banners, but I can’t find the right album to upload them to?

By John on 11.01.06 at 07:44 PM

Is there any preferred image format? PNG, CDR, AI? Or anything would go?
And should we send the final file at once or some jpeg first?

tnx

By Sprint on 11.01.06 at 08:15 PM

sry! didn’t see the updates!

tnx!

By Sprint on 11.01.06 at 08:16 PM

ilounge the link above “View Entries” does not take you to the proper location.

By anon on 11.02.06 at 11:06 AM

You say you win a white MacBook but the picture is of a black one that got me all excited.

By Nick on 11.02.06 at 12:28 PM

By Rodrigo on 11.02.06 at 05:56 PM

I have a question...what is the main font iLounge uses on their graphics...it looks to be the same as the font Apple uses on their graphics too.  Can anyone tell me the name and where to get it?

By Daniel on 11.05.06 at 07:09 PM

The font is Myriad Pro.

By macniatic on 11.05.06 at 09:44 PM

just seen a new banner entered into this ilounge contest, and the text beneath pictures says something about a mov. file and i was wondering if the designer could send it to me (just curious)

By james on 11.07.06 at 03:26 PM

how can they know that maybe some ppl aren’t 18....cause i’ve known many that posted..at least
im older than 18

By max on 11.08.06 at 10:00 PM

people, post a link to your favourite advert.

By anon on 11.10.06 at 08:54 AM

can they animate or should they be stills.

By donald emerson on 11.10.06 at 10:34 AM

JPEG format only, meaning no animation.

By Nobody on 11.10.06 at 06:09 PM

wait, stupid question: it says we can use original artwork… but we can use official pictures of an a ipod from apple, right?

By Mary on 11.11.06 at 01:04 PM

Are these images allowed to be posted/uploaded to other locations?  Not for commercial or contest use, just for personal use.  (Like deviantART or forums outside of iLounge)

By Josh on 11.12.06 at 04:18 PM

im the one who submitted the
art....  http://gallery.ilounge.com/ipod/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=-3&pos=1

By jhoemar on 11.13.06 at 01:51 AM

how exaclty would you descirbe this site, from what i’ve gathered so far it’s a website covering general apple products and related items. is this correct?

By topher on 11.13.06 at 11:15 AM

"This contest is open to U.S. and international residents”

what do you mean with “international residents”?

By Michael on 11.14.06 at 05:57 AM

I submitted an entry the other day… The problem is, I didn’t see participants must be 18!(I’m only 14) What is the purpose of this rule? Is it for shipping purposes? If so, can I make someone else resubmit my entry (Say, my parents...) so it would satisfy the rules? BTW… my entry was the image named ‘iLoungeBannerB-jvsamonte.jpg’ though I’m planning to revise it because I forgot to include ‘iLounge.com’.

By jvsamonte on 11.14.06 at 06:58 AM

Why dont some of the entries display properly?

By Mac on 11.17.06 at 10:23 AM

Is this contest open to people who are not living in the U.S and are not U.S citizens?

By Sara on 11.20.06 at 03:37 AM

Some of mine didnt show up properly until I re-saved them as RGB instead of CMYK then uploaded them again.

By Kyle on 11.21.06 at 01:30 PM

can we put real pictures of ipods that we got online in our advertisements?

By Randy on 11.25.06 at 06:07 PM

my entry’s quality is less than when i submitted it. was size a problem? i checked the size and it fit under the rules.

http://gallery.ilounge.com/ipod/displayimage.php?pos=-9321

im gunna enter mine again and can you fix the quality problem?

By Kaleho Naki on 11.26.06 at 02:40 AM

i guess ilounge just resized my ad. which was originally 728x90 which is a real ad size, but i guess they resized it so it doesnt stretch everything. here is the original which isnt resized and has better quality.

By Kaleho Naki on 11.26.06 at 02:45 AM

someone can tell me (and Sara) if this contest is open to people who are not living in the U.S and are not U.S citizens?

What do they mean with “This contest is open to U.S. and INTERNATIONAL residents.” ?

Thanks

By Michael on 11.27.06 at 07:29 AM

it means everyone can enter, “and international”

By anon on 11.27.06 at 12:37 PM

is it too late to submit

By b3dfor on 11.30.06 at 10:31 PM

GREAT JOB WINNERS!!! that first place is something lol. i love that.

By Kaleho Naki on 12.08.06 at 08:05 PM

Cool! Figured that one would win 1st place. Congrats to him. I’m totally fine winning 2nd prize (and the shirt).

So will i be contacted about this? Exactly how will we get our prizes? Been checking my email every five minutes since the winners were announced.

Congrats to all!

By Marco dela Torre on 12.08.06 at 08:39 PM

All winners will be notified via email.

By Dennis Lloyd on 12.09.06 at 12:16 PM

By Martin Laksman on 12.09.06 at 01:12 PM

The first one is good and congratulations to all winners, but the first one doesnt contain “ilounge.com”, i thought that was a requirement

By milky on 12.13.06 at 06:09 PM

Excellent entries - well done to everyone especially the winners.

milky - it does - at the bottom…

By Bob Levens on 12.14.06 at 03:10 AM

The very first question about this contest was whether it was supposed to be a birthday ad or a regular ad.  The answer was regular ad.  The winner was a birthday ad.  Confusing.

By mcdj on 12.29.06 at 10:06 PM
