Prize Challenge Ranks and Banners
See how some forum members have swanky ranks and banner images? Wonder what that's all about?
I've instituted a system of prizes for participants of the forum challenges, which was rather a last minute thing I threw together for the first timed challenge, but really seems to be an appreciated prize. SO! It will become a staple to all timed challenges.
Here's how they work.

Every challenge must have a prize banner image. The person running a challenge is responsible for providing a banner image, whether they made it themselves or had someone else make it (in this case, permission from the original artist MUST be given). Maximum size for the banners will be 100 pixels wide by 75 pixels high.

If you participate (complete your kami after the deadline, within a few days of the challenge ending) or win a challenge (completing your kami before or in time for the deadline), you will be assigned a new rank accordingly.

Banners and ranks will remain on peoples' accounts until the end of the next challenge, when we make way for the new prize ranks. Thus, the prize ranks are temporary--- to keep up with having a shiny rank and image banner consistently, you gotta keep participating in challenges!**
**some banners may be reused or made available again in the future for special occasions... but I'll try not to be that lazy.
Also, if you want to offer a custom, permanent rank as a prize for a contest or challenge, contact me and we can discuss it and work it out!!
