ON3P WORST TOPSHEET CONTEST 2011

Thats right, ITS BACK! After such an atrocious winner last year, we had to do it again.

https://newschoolers.com/ns/cult/contest/id/2788/cid/8/

Please do read carefully through the rules if you want your entry to have a serious shot. We had some great ones last year that had to be disqualified because of our one lone rule, so please help us out! The contest is open to general submission till APRIL 15th! After that, we here at ON3P will go through and decide the top 64 to seed the brackets, and then its over to you guys to decide who's topsheet is the ugliest thing that would ever be put on a pair of skis. And, as last year, if you win, you get ANY 2011/2012 ski*, with your creation gracing the topsheet! And no, you cant trade it for a stock ski, you get what you make.

*Applies to all 2011/2012 skis, excludes any special edition or customs.


To get you guys amped, I figured we should set the bar rather high and show you what can be done with 2 hours of goofing around. And no, we cant make this, read the contest rule.

Lets turn this contest up to 11!

What I'd do is design and have a working file that is those dimensions, then take smaller sized down Jpegs of your work and submit them to NS. If you win, you do want a huge original, high res is better on such a big object.

I think they should acutally pick one of the worst ones. Not a good one like last years. Like one of these MS paint ones

Eh, Grizzlycorn is like what makes this contest great: nobody would actually dare to make a graphic like that in a non-contest setting. Some of the MS Paint ones are really, really bad, but making something compellingly awful - bad but paradoxically brilliant and good - is hard to come by.

There is a big difference between something awful that took 5 minutes in paint versus something terrible that took some time in photoshop. The Grizzlycorn is pretty terrible but it has important things going for it like composition.

We've made a change to the contest system this year to make sure that its a universally agreed "worst" topsheet, not just what we up in the office are revolted by. We did choose two winners last year, and that Steven Hawking one was really really bad...

We'd prefer it, but not a requirement. Please dont use other logos though, we'd really like to have a full year of production without a Cease and Desist letter...

Laws on using a persons likeness to promote a product are complex. The person who takes the photograph has the rights to the photograph, but the individual has the right to their likeness, when used in a promotional sense, as opposed to a journalistic sense.
