Brothers and Sisters,just created this thread to get an approximate number of interested brothers and sisters that are willing to partake in this contest,insha'Allaah.
Update:
The contest is for fictional stories on any subject.
The maximum word limit is 5,000 words.
The contest closes on 30 November 2011.
Please PM entries to Ramadhan before 30 November 2011.
I think it would be good if the banner isn't too big such that people won't have to scroll down signatures to see it all.
Will there be any criteria given as to how the stories will be judged or is it solely down to a poll?
I have reduced the size to 20% and 25% of original size, but have changed the effects of the font as old one had that engraved effect, which I have checked, will not show clearly in 20 % or 25 % of the original size, that is why I said 30 % would be its limit, however any image could be reduced to the smallest size.
20% of the original size:
25% of the original size:
20% of the original size with just simple fonts and no effects:
25% of the original size with just simple fonts and no effects:
The older one in 20% and 25% of the original size in which the fonts have engraved effect which are not showing up clearly in smaller size:
Would it be possible to resize it to the same dimensions as the picture in your signature?
Yes it is possible, however the fonts or the picture may not be clear as it is originally in square shape, so I have redesigned to the dimensions of that signature. Here are some samples:
What if it was the above font, in one of the rectangular shapes below?

Well, so far everyone has agreed that there is no set topic, members can write about what they like, as long as the story is not longer than 5,000 words
Also, a late November deadline was discussed, but we need some more specifics...
Those new banners are amazing. They're the right size and really clear and legible.
As for entries, the way we've done it in the past is that all entrants PM their entry to the organiser (who I guess is Yanal), then the organiser will create a thread to put the entries into. That way, the writers of each entry are kept anonymous, so voters can focus on the stories themselves rather than the author.
However, first we need to agree a deadline. I've suggested late November... 30 November 2011? Agree, disagree, other suggestions?
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
Once upon a time on IB, there was a writing contest and the members were trying to decide a deadline date. Muezzin suggested 30th November and aamirsaab agreed, to Joyous Fairys horror since she had not even thought about the topic let alone started writing yet! 'But...' she thought, 'if there is a deadline then I will become motivated to start the writing.'. And with that she started brainstorming ideas.
The end.
