The USGenWeb Project Logo Contest

The USGenWeb Project will hold a logo contest during the regular election period in July to choose a main official logo and three additional official alternative logos. At this time, we invite and encourage USGenWeb members and others to enter the contest with their designs.

Here is the small print . . .

Contest rules:

1. Entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 31, 2005.

2. All entries become the property of The USGenWeb Project and will not be returned.

3. Only entries via email will be accepted. Send your finished logo graphic in either JPEG or GIF format to webmaster@usgenweb.com. Each entry must include your name, address, daytime phone and email address. The contact information will be kept private.

4. By entering the contest, all participants unconditionally agree to be bound by all terms of these contest rules.

5. All entries must be original works, produced by the entrant, and must not contain any copyrighted material.

6. Logos should include the phrase "The USGenWeb Project" somewhere in the design. (note the capitalization)

7. By entering a design, each entrant agrees and grants The USGenWeb Project the irrevocable right to make available, reproduce, distribute, publish, display, edit, modify, create derivative works and otherwise use the logo for any purpose in any form and on any media in perpetuity without compensation.

8. All eligible entries will be placed before a vote of USGenWeb members during the regular elections period in July, 2005. The top vote-getter will be USGenWeb's main Official Logo. The next three top vote-getting designs (or less if there are not three additional entries) will be the Official Alternate Logos. In the event of a tie, the Advisory Board will vote to break the tie. The decision of the Advisory Board will be final. There is no monetary compensation for this contest.

There's a lot of talent out there, and we can't wait to see what you can come up with. Thanks, and good luck!
