aKademy 2005 Logo Contest Launched
==================================

   The KDE project is looking for a great new logo for our biggest event
of the year: The KDE Developers and Users Conference 2005, also known as
aKademy 2005. This logo will be seen everywhere including websites, on
t-shirts and in magazines.  kde-look [http://www.kde-look.org] is
hosting the contest to find the new aKademy logo
[http://www.kde-look.org/news/index.php?id=161].



                               GUIDELINES

     All logo entries must

    * Be in the SVG format.
    * Be 300 dpi.
    * Must not include any gradients.
    * Must be original.
    * Must include a transparent wallpaper based on your logo that is a
      1024 x 768 PNG.
    * Must at least be GPL'd but the KDE Artists clarified LGPL or a
      less restrictive license may be a better fit for some artists.
    * Must be submitted in the Artwork Contests section of kde-look.org.
      Please include the words "aKademy 2005" in the name field of
      your submission.



                              PLEASE NOTE

     The images must not violate any other artists copyright. If you use
some artwork that you did not create (e.g. the KDE gear) then you must
list the artist and the license or your entry will be disqualified.



                                 PRIZE

     The first place winner will receive the privilege of seeing their
logo being used for the most publicised KDE event of the year and a
t-shirt featuring their logo (provided by the aKademy 2005 committee).



                                 JUDGES

     The aKademy is taking place this year in Málaga, Spain

Desarrolladores y Usuarios de KDE : aKademy 2005"
