Hello, and welcome!
It is time for the second competition hosted by the staff of Aurora!
The premise, again, is art. Namely, in-game spriting. So, let's make it short and sweet:
What is the competition about? The competition is about introducing new poster designs created by members of our community, with key intent to replace the Bay12 designs with our originals.
What can I do? You can participate in the competition, and provide Aurora with a new, unique design for a 32x32 pixel poster!
How do I participate? By spriting and posting your poster design with a description to match as a reply to this thread! It will remain open for at least 2 (TWO) weeks.
What comes after that? A bit of deliberation by the staff, followed by a few prize distributions and integration of all submissions (barring something uncooth) into the server code.
What are the prizes?! Depending on the amount of entries, one to three custom items, with higher grade function and the lack of necessity for a one thousand word backstory. Did I mention that all entries will be added to the server code, yet? There's also that.
Have fun! Everyone, staff included, are free to participate! A committee to pick the winners will be selected by myself, once the posting goes shut.
I will post a blank 32x32 poster frame ASAP, expect to see it in about an hour after the original post. Blank frame not necessary, just ensure that it is 32x32 pixels!
If you're interested, but lack the technical know-how, then feel free to contact me!
Any other questions regarding this, feel free to contact me!

Is there a limit on how how many times we can submit posters? Or all all after the first just submitted for use?

Kewl. I don't have anything to do at work tonight but make tiny art, so I might as well attempt to do so.

Me shift+clicks a poster.
This is a poster of Ian, the station corgi.
He's reminding you which frequency to scream on if you see him anywhere near a washing machine.
Me shift+clicks the next poster.
This is the logo of Nanotrasen!
The bottom of the poster would normally have names and numbers for employee to contact HR and insurance reps, but it's mysteriously absent. Likely just an innocent misunderstanding.

Okay. Majestic's entries: Desc: This poster depicts all the proper safety protocols and procedures for the engineers of the station! There is a satisfied looking working man dressed in safety gear with a thumbs up. Desc: This poster looks beat up. You cannot make any words out other than the rather unnerving "DEAD" written in what appears to be blood at the top. There is a large hole in the poster that appears to be caused by a explosion. Desc: This poster adorns a large cartoonish snail that is wearing a pair of shades, followed by the bold word "MOVE". Fine print at the bottom reads "Snails don't get paid." Desc: A piece of paper stuck to the wall with sticky tape... It shows two crude stick men- One of them is holding up the middle finger to another that is labeled "NT". Above the stick men is written "NT SUCKS!" Desc: This poster has the bold letters SCI on it under a iconic beaker containing a green liquid. This must resemble science. Print at the bottom reads: "The very reason you are here."

"A picture of everyone's favorite corgi, at the bottom it says 'keep going, everything's gonna be alright!'" And to be fair, I don't want the custom icons (I've already got 2) So I'll just give them to someone else on the off chance I win
