Create A Calendar Competition!
At the beginning of every month in 2007 we will be releasing
a new downloadable wallpaper for your desktops, featuring an exclusive calendar
design. Each will also come complete with handy dates and any Total War related
events highlighted, so you need never worry about missing Mothers Day
again!
Here is the fun part – we are giving YOU the opportunity to
design each month’s themed image.
There is no restriction on what kind of image you can submit, so feel
free to capture screenshots, build models, take photos, dress up your friends,
make ice sculptures, go to Medieval re-enactment days, or anything else that
comes into your creative minds. You
will have until the 20th December to work on your images, so take
your time over them to be creative and original.
If we use your design, you could win a copy of Medieval II: Total War, a Half
Stein Glass, and an extremely limited edition Medieval II Tie (there are only 4 in Europe!).
The only thing we ask is that your image be themed around
the featured calendar month - January. When coming up with ideas, you may wish to think
about what national holidays and events are coming up. Also consider the
weather for that time of year, and the ideas you associate with that given
month. To get your creative juices
flowing, we have put together some example images for January (click on them to
download):
