Today is a proud day for the team here at OS. For the very first time ever we have cracked the magic 1 million unique visitors in a 30 day period (as per Google Analytics). For a website, this is a big deal. 1 million uniques is a huge milestone for any site and one that we (quite obviously) could not have done without our ever loyal and quickly growing visitor base and our dedicated staff of writers, contribributors and moderators. Thank you!

Why stop at 1M? Lets keep this thing moving forward. We're planning to kick off an ad campaign to further promote OS across the net. To make this a reality we are in need of some OS ad banners... and who better to design the ads than OS visitors themselves.

So today we're calling on all the graphic artists out here. Here is a chance for you to showcase your designing skills while scoring some cool prizes.

The banner sizes we need are as follows:

728x90
300x250
160x600

As mentioned, we're offering prizes to anyone who submits a design and whose design is ultimately chosen. If we choose your ad banner(s) we'll give you a free game of your choice (to the value of $65).

The banners need to be in flash format and cannot exceed 50kb in size.

Click here to download an asset pack including a variety of different versions of our logos and the fonts we use.

As for what we want the banners to say, well we'll leave that up to you. However, the OS logo must obviously be prominent along with our slogan "Dedicated to Sports Gaming".

Post screenshots of your designs in this post so that everyone can contribute in picking the winners.

By Flash format do you mean that it has to have moving parts as flash sites do?
