Tempmas 2015 Announcement

Good morning/evening/afternoon Tempers!
Today is the start of Tempmas 2015! Woohoooo!

For those of you not in the know, every year GBAtemp runs a Tempmas themed competition where you, our lovely members, get the chance to have some fun and win some top prizes!


This year we would like you to design a Tempmas inspired/themed Christmas Decoration. For a few ideas, any of the following options would make viable entries:

At the bare minimum, a piece of decoration that is GBAtemp themed and have it on display.
It can literally be anything from some small GBAtemp style Christmas tree decoration, or a whole tree decorated in a GBAtemp style, to a GBAtemp poster or sign hung up in your home.
These are just a few ideas for context.


This year's prizes are:

*DRUM ROLL*

1st place: A brand new New Nintendo 3DS
2nd place: A video game of your choice for any current platform
3rd place: An amiibo of your choice (hmn we need an amiibo smiley )

Rules

• The decoration must contain the words "Tempmas 2015" with your username somewhere.
• Take pictures of the creative process so you can prove you made your entry.
• Please upload your submissions to GBAtemp, filetrip or imgur and link to them in a post in this thread. I will disregard any entries sent to me by PM.
• Submit your entry between now and the 24th of December, 23:59 GMT.
• One entry per member. One entry per IP address.
• All content must be your own. Copyrighted content is allowed as long as it falls under fair use.
• GBAtemp Staff judgements are final.

We hope you decide to get into the spirit of things and enter Tempmas 2015! Good luck and

Why didn't you draw this poster in that 3DS screen and do this over and over to create the tunnel effect? Such a missed opportunity! Great drawing!

Aww my god that would've been so cool =( and thanks my 9 year old sister helped me because I already have a 3DS so she has to "earn" it alternatively she could wait till her birth day.

I have some questions I didn't understand and may been explained (sorry!):

• What kind of work we can submit? I mean, paperwork, graphics (images...), what?
• In the second prize, what's the maximum price it can have? Instead of a game, we could have a Gateway or DSTWO+ or similar?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Knowing they're giving a game, I want to know what's the price cap it has. And if it is possible to switch it for a gateway or a dstwo+ cartdrige (since they're, cartdriges, "or games" haha).

Cheers.

We are not going to chop and change what the prizes are to suit people sorry. The prize is a game as we stated, for any platform and as long as its a reasonable price for a retail game. (no £200 special edition box sets etc)

Yeah, sorry for asking. It was a really obvious question, sorry again and thanks for answer.

Can we please have it snow in december on the website that would be sick. Maybe I will 3d print a temper ornament...

@T-hug does the word Tempass 2015 and your username have to be on the actual decoration or can it be on a piece of paper next to it?

all of them...?

all of them...?

Just who is most online

So what would be considered inspired/themed? What sort of style is the GBATemp style? Would even a round ornament with the Tempmas image slapped onto it be considered as such? I'm concocting some ideas, but if they don't fit, then I'd want to know before I do anything.

All of the staff play a very major role on this site. If you're wanting to directly mention staff on your display I'd recommend writing "& others" as you will run out of room

I'm going to try to make something with the ideal of being very simple yet original

Here's my entry. It's a wallpaper/poster with a new spin on the GBAtemp logo:

This started as a very crude sketch drawn on a train ride:

You can get it as a wallpaper here: http://i.imgur.com/uVr9mO0.png

Yes no digital entries, obviously you can use digital apps for design or whatever if you want, but the finished item must be a physical decoration.

In that case I could just print it out and call it a poster.

Updated the post to include a physical copy of my work now.

For people who are submitting entries already I advise you do not jump the gun and take your time before submitting anything. You still have almost a week left to work on your entry so why submit something now? The more you work on your entry the better it will be and the better chance you will have of winning something. Just some advice there.
