For our December Banner Challenge thanks go to lycomingst for Banner One and allisnow for the winning Banner Two. Lovely work, and at the last minute too, THANK YOU :D

And that concludes 2013's Community Banner Challenge. We've seen some amazing graphics work that has brightened up our comm and made us all smile. It's been fantastic! Thank you very much to everyone who's taken part, be that by making banners (some of you for the first time even) or voting. Take a look behind the cut to see all of the banners that graced the top of our community this year, plus the runners-up adapted for our promptathons:

January: our first challenge was issued on January 10th for February, after a season of Clint and Natasha in Santa hats :)

February: love purely_distel




Our February runner-up entry by zenni was then made into our Valentine's Mini Promptathon banner:




March: bar jacedesbff




April: foolish endeni




May: geekery laughtersmelody




June: positive/negative space daxcat79




July: focus on either Clint OR Natasha allisnow




August: prompts allisnow



And our runner-up banner, also by allisnow, was adapted for Prompathon 2013:




September: peace/peaceful allisnow




October: Halloween allisnow




November: colour allisnow




December: something seasonal allisnow




Keep your eyes peeled later in the month for when we also take a look back at the banners that didn't make it to the top of the community and a chance to vote for one of the ones that got away to be our January 2014 banner!

In the meantime, we want to hear from you about the 2014 Banner Challenge. Like, for example, do you want there to be one? Would you like it to be monthly again, or bi-monthly, four times a year, another number of times? Suggestions for themes and challenges (because we could do with those!)? Banner makers, voters, everyone in this bar that has to look at the thing at the top of our comm everytime you arrive here; what do you think?
