I was seeing the old contests archives and really liked the idea that you guys had on Best members awards 2007.  I think it would be a great idea to do this annually and have a 2008 added to it.  What do you guys think?  Unless you already had it, then in that case I take this post back.]]></description>

Hey Amped Asia forum members,<br />
<br />
So we haven't had a contest in a while, so we decided that we definitely needed one. This is a simple contest that is based on your graphic design skills. We need a t-shirt design for Amped Asia and our loyal members get to do it!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">So what are the rules?</span><br />
- Send us a PSD file that is 750 x 1000 pixels (width x height)<br />
- You can scan the design and then place it on the PSD file<br />
- Send us back AND/or front designs (back is optional)<br />
 - Use a maximum of four colors for your design - no gradients or transparent layers are allowed<br />
- Your shirt's background color can be any color<br />
- Keep the design off the seams<br />
- design must be your own original unpublished work and must not contain any third-party logos, trademarks or copyright material<br />
- Max 2 submissions per user<br />
- Must have Amped Asia and relate to the site or Asian culture<br />
- Color or black and white, whichever one you want<br />
- Deadline is Nov. 1st, giving you guys a whole month to make your designs<br />
- moderators are NOT allowed to participate<br />
<br />
The MODERATORS will judge your t-shirt designs to find the 1st/2nd/3rd place winners. We are looking for how well the shirt is designed as well as how much it represents what Amped Asia is about. Be as creative as you want. Make your own logos and cool designs.<br />
<br />
After submitting your t-shirt design, Amped Asia owns the rights to the design. We are trying to find shirt designs that we can sell in our marketplace (you will be credited).<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO EVALUATE WHETHER YOUR POSTS ARE LEGIT, SPAMMING FOR AMPED POINTS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED</span><br />
- We will look through all your posts and see if your point count is too high for your post quality. Some members gained points and then their threads were moved to trash due to double-posting, etc, and because of this they would have inflated point count. Also because reviews give high points and members frequently post reviews that are too short, they will receive deductions for that. Then we will do any other deductions we feel are necessary.<br />
<br />
- We are not doing this to cheat you in anyway, we already have members who have received their prizes. We are doing this to make sure you are not cheating us.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Frequently Asked Questions</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">These prizes cost too many Amped Points!</span> - Remember that you can donate/receive Amped points among members, so you could use this to your advantage in our buy/sell/trade forums, you could sell your services or items in exchange for Amped Points. In the future, we will also have promotions where we will give away Amped Points or increase your Amped Points earnings per post for a certain amount of time.<br />
<br />
ABUSING THIS DONATION SYSTEM IS NOT ALLOWED. What I mean by abusing the system is constantly referring new members for extra points, or referring yourself for extra points. Then posting replies to each other constantly to inflate your point totals.  <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are ways to earn Amped Points</span> - Posting new threads earns about 4 Amped Points, and posting replies earns about 2 Amped points. Additionally, polls will earn you an extra Amped Point. Writing a user review gets you 15+ amped points depending on the quality of your review.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How do I redeem my prize</span> - PM Lance with the prize you want to redeem. Lance will then take those points from your account. Afterwards, we will reply, saying that your prize request has been recorded. Please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery, however, we will try to get your prize delivered as soon as possible.]]></description>

In the future, we will also have promotions where we will give away Amped Points or increase your Amped Points earnings per post for a certain amount of time.<br />
<br />
ABUSING THIS DONATION SYSTEM IS NOT ALLOWED. What I mean by abusing the system is constantly referring new members for extra points, or referring yourself for extra points. Then posting replies to each other constantly to inflate your point totals.  <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">What are ways to earn Amped Points</span> - Posting new threads earns about 4 Amped Points, and posting replies earns about 2 Amped points. Additionally, polls will earn you an extra Amped Point. Writing a user review gets you 15+ amped points depending on the quality of your review.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">How do I redeem my prize</span> - PM Lance with the prize you want to redeem. Lance will then take those points from your account. Afterwards, we will reply, saying that your prize request has been recorded. Please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery, however, we will try to get your prize delivered as soon as possible.]]></content:encoded>
