Design Anthrocon's 2011 website, Win a Supersponsorship!
Want to win a Supersponsorship for Anthrocon 2011?
Design our 2011 website, and you can!
That's right, we're looking for a talented web designer to create our 2011 website, and we are now taking submissions! The winner, chosen by us, will receive a free Supersponsorship membership for Anthrocon 2011!
"What is the theme?"
The theme for Anthrocon 2011 is "The Anthropomorphic Institute of Magic".
"Sounds great, what do you need from me?"
We will need you to email a mockup of the website design to webmaster@anthrocon.org no later than 11:59 PM, September 25th, 2010.
We will also need a copy of the header graphic, the color scheme you'd like us to use for the text on the site (our stylesheet is right here), a default user icon to replace the current one, and a few membership badges for our fourms: [1] [2]. Additional graphics for use on the website are optional, but strongly encouraged. Graphics for the background are optional.
File attachments are welcome. Designs and graphics may also be uploaded to a site such as Drop.io.
"I'm not a wizard with HTML and CSS!"
That's okay. We are. 
If you can get us the graphics and styles, we can handle the rest.
"I like Javascript, can I write some?"
You sure can! We use the jQuery Javascript library to power our site, and would be happy to install jQuery UI as well.
"I really don't like the layout of the current Anthrocon website. Can I change it up a little?"
You certainly may! This is your chance to get creative. If you have some ideas for different layouts of the website, we'd love to see them!
"May I submit more than one design?"
Sure. Enter as many different designs as you like.
"I'm not sure my entry was received!"
If you don't hear back from us after getting your entry, feel free to check in with us, or send me a Private Message through Anthrocon's website.
"Is there a fee to enter?"
No. Entry is free.
Legal stuff
You must be the owner of the copyright or the artwork must be in the public domain. Anthrocon asks for non-exclusive rights to publish submitted works for which you own the copyright.
"I have additional questions!"
Feel free to reply to this post, or contact me directly.
I think it is best at this point to move this discussion to a more appropriate forum. I'm sure there are thousands of discussion boards out there for __________________.
Interesting, a supersponsorship for a layout eh?
I suppose I can make up something quick
Any real guidelines I need to stay within?
I think the idea is not 'make something real quick' but 'put in time and effort and make something that really represents the con well.'
I meant "real quick" as in sketch out a initial plan, then start to figure out placement and color scheme. Of course I would take my time and send out a polished product.
and how does one design a website?
Practice with Visual Basic and Office, or similar software if you have a Macintosh or Amiga.
I create website, im best at using a already built template but anyway I make websites and have my own server.

I will implement the 2011 site as time permits. (I work during the day and will be at WPAFW this weekend.)
