The 'Shroom:Flag Contest

Flag Contest As part of our end‐of‐the‐year festivities, we have decided to organize a contest! The goal is to create a flag to represent the Mario Wiki! Here are the rules:
 * Create a flag to represent the Wiki!
 * The flag can be based off a real national, state, etc. flag, though it must be altered in some way.
 * Designs that are completely original are also accepted.
 * Accepted dimensions for the flags are:
 * 500px by 1 000px
 * 630px by 990px
 * 600px by 1 000px
 * The more, the merrier! There is no limit to the number of flag designs you can submit.
 * To avoid bias, the artists’ names will be kept anonymous during voting, though the names will be revealed following the end of the contest.

To send me your flag, create the image on Photoshop, GIMP or some other image editing software. Then, upload it to Imageshack. It’s a great site for image hosting, and you can get a free account there. Once you have uploaded your flag, PM it to me on the forum. Along with the flag, please include a brief description of the flag. For example, if you were describing the American flag: In the top‐left corner of the flag (the canton), there is a blue square with 50 white stars, one for each state. Thirteen stripes, alternating red and white, take up the rest of the flag. The 50 stars represent the 50 states and the 13 stripes represent the original 13 colonies. It doesn’t need to be very detailed. A basic description like that is all you need.

Entries will be open from now until November 7th. No late entries will be accepted! Following the entry period, the voting round will start, and it will end November 14th.
