CLOSED
Can this year get any worse? Well yeah it can. After many arguments between ScoMo, the National Cabinet and the Premier of Western Australia Mark McGowan over border closures, Western Australia has decided to begin the process of seceding from the rest of Australia and forming its own nation.
Gillon McLachlan is having none of this and personally responds to Mr. McGowan stating that if Western Australia continues along this path then he will be forced to make big decisions that will affect the two Western Australia clubs. Mr. McGowan responds with a message saying that hurting both West Coast and Fremantle would affect the league more than the two clubs.
A week later both West Coast and Fremantle are thrown out of the AFL for 2021 and beyond, leaving Western Australia without a club as it moves towards nationhood.
With this sudden decision the league is left 2 teams short for the 2021 season. However Gillon has a plan, he instantly contacts some of the eastern states biggest businessmen and out of nowhere adds two new teams to the league from the rest of Australia, filling the rosters with players from the former Fremantle and West Coast who are moving back to their home states and the best juniors from those states. The league moves on as if nothing has happened.
Your job is to show us who one of these two new teams are. Neither of these teams have participated in the league before, nor are they promoted from a state league. They are a brand new franchise so no branding can be used from existing teams (either state league or state representative teams). These new teams are from major centres of Australia, so are from either capital cities or their suburbs, or locations that have hosted AFL matches in recent years (e.g. Launceston, Cairns, Townsville). No branding from this boards NAFL competition may be used.
PLEASE READ THE RULES AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES CAREFULLY, FAILURE TO FOLLOW THEM WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION OF YOUR ENTRY.
Rules
Here are the rules for this DESIGNATHON Event:
• Any registered board member may enter;
• Participants are limited to ONE entry per event. You may enter as many or as few events as you like;
• All entries must be your own original work, logos may be edited.
• You may use any template you like that features only the kit elements (please no entries that feature players/silhouettes), though it is preferred that you use one that makes your entry anonymous (can be done by using templates that are used by other members of the board). Remember, unlike the league competitions on this board, this competition is about the designs, not the presentation.
• All guernsey designs will be required to use the number 22 on the guernsey in the AFL font*, no unique numbers will be accepted;
• Even though the entries when posted in a poll will be anonymous for the purpose of keeping track of who has entered so that the winners can be contacted please add the username you use on here in your entries email title, otherwise either your real name will be used or if no discernible information can be gathered your entry will be excluded.
• Entries should be submitted on a white or grey background with no other design elements
• I will serve as the contest's referee, and will answer any questions about rules and event criteria. Questions must be asked within this event thread, and will be answered here. I will NOT respond to any questions about an event in a PM, instant message or personal email, so don't contact me directly. I will be the judge to any dispute.
Anyone caught cheating or otherwise compromising the integrity of the DESIGNATHON will be disqualified, stripped of awards and/or banished from future participation.
Submitting your entries
All entries must be submitted using the following guidelines
Failure to follow the guidelines could result in your entry being inadvertently (or intentionally) excluded from judging.
To save having a mass of private messages each entries image must be emailed as an attachment to bigfootydesignathon (@) gmail (dot) com prior to the set deadline. Subject line should be the event number and your username (Ex: Craegus Event 1). Once you submit your entry, it is considered final.
Do not upload you image to an image hosting site. Google searches can easily find these images and this will remove the anonymity of your entry. Once the polls close for this event, you may then upload your image.
Do not include your name or any other personal identifiers on your submission. Also, do not watermark your work. You are expected to keep the identity of your entry anonymous until the end of the event. If you think you know the identity of another designer, keep it to yourself. Anyone who exposes the identity of themselves or anyone else will be DQ'd.
All entries must be in .png format but can contain plain backgrounds with no identifying marks.
I will NOT contact you if your entry is wrong, therefore make sure that you comply to these guidelines before submitting your entry.
You will receive a confirmation email (automatically generated).
