In honor of Game of Thrones returning, we are going to be running a clever little Competition we hope you all enjoy!

The Brotherhood has gone to War. Grand Master Muz Ashen --First of his name-- is rallying all of his Banner-men to his cause.

(Yes, that means you guys)

Pretend that you or your character are a Lord of Land within Brotherhood space. It can be related to your Clouse, the planet your character hails from, or something to do with your character's race. It can even be about your out of character persona (ie, Wally has Tiger Blood, because Arcona is duh, winning).

You are to create a Graphic detailing the following;

• Your House/Family name
• Your House/Family logo/emblem/symbol, over a banner
• Your House/Family words; an expression, manta, or motto
• Your name and pin somewhere on the image
  

Entries not containing these 4 criteria reserve the right of disqualification. If such a thing were to happen, the participant will be notified and given a chance to resubmit their entry.

Here is an example template (which can be downloaded): http://goo.gl/gD1y8

Here is a blank template for Photoshop (.psd): http://goo.gl/ugD9k

Here you can see an example entry meeting all of the criteria (as per my earlier example): http://goo.gl/0rtoB

Submissions should be based around 500x500 template, but as long as each of the criteria are present in a readable fashion, flexibility is extended to the artist.

Entries must be submitted in a readable image format such as a .jpg, .gif, .png or even .pdf.

Grading: This event is unique in that it is more than just a Graphics event. It is just as much about creativity as it is your ability to manipulate or create images.

Things that will factor into placements will be a mixture of elements:

• Talent of the art work and images presented
  
• Creativity in the creation of the family name and words
  
• The amount of visible effort put in.

Using the template provided will neither get you first place or last place. It is merely a starting point for you to use. However, if someone designs their own template that goes beyond the stock template, this will obviously push you towards a top entry. If it's just a pretty image, and the writing behind it isn't clever or entertaining, the image may not place as highly.

Again, this means that top placement will be determined by a combination of all elements; art, creativity, and effort.

Placement will be determined on the judges artistic point of view. Each Judge will create a list of their top 10, and will discuss between each other to finalize a list. This is to provide two different eyes with varying humors and sense for artistic design.
