Hi everyone!

As you know the SHL and SMJHL drafts will happen on two consecutive weekends - first the SHL draft on July 28th, followed by the SMJHL draft a week later. You know what happens right after these drafts, don't you?

Double Draft Graphics Week! That's where you will receive double payout for all draft-related graphics!

As usual it also includes all draft-related videos in our video sub-forum. 

But wait, there's more! To celebreate international hockey there will be a Double IIHF/WJC Week as well. The same rules apply.

When exactly is it?

Our S78 Double Draft Graphics Week will happen during the week ending on Sunday, August 11th which means all graphics must be submitted between August 5th and Sunday, August 11th (the deadline being 11:59PM PST). 

TO ALL VIDEO MAKERS: 
Video makers will get two weeks instead of one as usual. Any draft-related video submitted between next Monday (July 29th) and August 11th (11:59PM PST) will be eligible for the bonus.

Don't forget:

You must have '2x draft week' either in your submission title or next to any eligible graphics/videos in your submission post. If you don't visibly mark your submission, you won't receive the bonus! 
If you submit your graphics in the wrong week or past the deadline*, you won't receive the bonus either. 

That's why you can see a summary on top. Please ask us if something isn't clear.

IIHF/WJC:
For the IIHF/WJC weeks the submission dates are between next Monday, July 29th and the following Sunday, August 4th (11:59PM PST). Depending on your submission you must have '2x WJC week' or '2x IIHF week' either in your submission title or next to any eligible graphics/videos in your submission post to get the bonus.

As always please follow the submission guidelines and join the SHL graphics discord if you need help. Visit the dedicated #video-discussion channel there if you have questions about video submissions.

*New starting this season: we've moved the submission deadline from midnight EST to midnight PST.

Thanks and enjoy the drafts and the WJC/IIHF tournaments,

The Graphics Department
