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

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

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?

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?

The font is Myriad Pro.

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)
