S56 Graphics Tournament: PAINT SIG CONTEST!
#1

Season 56 is about to start, so we're here with a new tournament for you:

Dust off your easels and grab a canvas. IT’S TIME TO PAINT, SHL!

Who will be crowned the Vincent van Gogh of the SHL? You will get to decide by voting in the reintroduction of the SHL PAINT SIG CONTEST!

Task:
Make an SHL or SMJHL-related signature using Microsoft Paint or similar alternative software (such as GIMP or Paint.Net). You CANNOT use Photoshop for this tournament.

Submit for a chance to win some sweet, sweet, SHL cash:
First Place: $5M
Second Place: $3M
Third Place: $2M
Fourth Place: $1M

Rules:
  1. The signature must be related to the SHL or the SMJHL in some way. The art could involve a player, a team, or a favorite league memory. Ultimately, it must be drawn in PAINT or a related software.
  2. The signatures must be in JPG or PNG form.
  3. All signatures must be the same size: 400x200px
  4. Artwork should be submitted before Friday, October 2nd @ 12 Midnight EST
How to submit:
You can send submissions and/or questions to @rum_ham through a private message on the forums or on discord (Buck Dancer#6352)

Unleash your inner DaVinci and show the SHL the artist you were born to be!

Have fun, and good luck!  Cheers

You mention GIMP, which can do layering and effects similar to photoshop, and can come close to a photoshop quality image. Could you specify as to whether this is allowed or is the image to be hand drawn specifically as is done in paint?

It was mentioned as an alternative, but the idea is really to make a PAINT sig so in that style. Nothing 'fancy'.

From what I understand, as long as it's made in Paint or a similar software, you should be good, but I'd wait for an official ruling from @Carpy48 on this

Here's a reference from a Paint tourney from about a year ago. None of these use pictures, though: https://simulationhockey.com/showthread.php?tid=97236

Needs to be drawn. Basically like in the previous paint contests we've had. The idea is that anyone can participate here.
