• Eligible designs must be submitted to the site on or before August 15, 2008 11:59 PM PST.

• A team of Wetpaint employees and superpainters (those are community members who really love Wetpaint) will judge the designs. Designs will be judged based on the following qualities:
• Creativity
• Originality
• Effectiveness of conveying the essence of the Wetpaint brand
  
• Legality (don't use any copyright-protected or "borrowed" imagery)
  
  
• The top three designs selected by the judging panel will then be shared with the larger Wetpaint community for a final vote.
  
  
• If your design is chosen, you must be able to hand off the design in a print-ready format, created using a scalable vector graphics (SVG) program like Adobe Illustrator. The image should be at least 200dpi in CMYK mode.
