Uh, what? You are one of the pros, Dowly. Unless someone else has highjacked your forum account!

use it without subsim's permission?
I'm not to chuffed about that.
You won't accept entries that are Open Source and free to use by all?

Your call of course.
Fair questions, Letum. I have to add that condition to avoid possible (but not likely) misunderstandings or conflicts. I "retain the right" but I would certainly be open-minded about allowing the use of submitted material otherwise. To keep Subsim looking good, I routinely hire artists, request materials from Subsim members, and often compensate those who help me with a stipend or swag their help. This contest will be fun and generate some great art, and someone will win some cool stuff and recognition.

I will accept art using Open Source material, you decide what to create, in the end I will have to decide if I feel comfortable using it. For example, if someone makes a wallpaper that is basically the Das Boot DVD cover with some changes, I probably won't use it.

Looking forward to what you have in mind, Letum!

thanks
Neal
