Banners

You too can become an artist in residence and have your artwork used as the banner for Scottishgames.net.  The banner is changed on a weekly basis, running Sunday-Sunday.

It’s FREE

It’s open to everyone – individuals, organisations and companies.  It can be something original, or an existing image (and this includes screenshots from games, photos from office parties, concept art – etc.)

It can be used for recruitment, to support a new game release, to showcase your mad skills, or propose to your beloved. We’re entirely easy about that…

It covers the entire Scottish Games Network – the website, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and Tumblr. The dimensions for each channel are:

  • Web: 940x300px
  • FB: 960x300px
  • G+: 480x270px
  • LI: 646x200px
  • Tw:1500x421px
  • Tu: 2500x350px

We’ll use *every* idea (unless it’s inappropriate, offensive or flat out rubbish) and every image used will be credited and listed.

There are no limits or restrictions on the content (apart from good taste and talent).  The only requirement for the banner is that the URL of the site is included:

The Scottish Games Network – http://www.scottishgames.net

If you’d like to book space for your banner(s), you can use the official SGN Google Calendar. You can book blocks of ONE WEEK at a time, with no more than FOUR consecutive weeks available to any one company…

If you’d like to submit something, simply send us an e-mail.
