Hello all!

I always love checking this thread to see everyone's beautiful work and, while there are a couple of other contests, I haven't seen a big spark in activity. Therefore, even though I love my current banner (thanks Reina!), I get tired of having the same GP for too long and I thought I might as well renovate my whole kennel! So, I am having a contest where the winner of the banner/GP will receive $1800 total ($1500 for the banner and $300 for the GP). You are welcome to try one or the other, but I tend to like GPs that match the banner. I will also select two runner-ups who will each receive $100 compensation. Here is the info (I am leaving it kind of open so that more people can find inspiration in some way):

Banner
Text: Amoroso
Subtext (not neccessary if it doesn't fit, but I would like it in smaller font than the main text if it is there): Superior Dachshunds and Bull Terriers Since 2012
Breeds: Wirehair Dachshund and Bull Terrier
Theme: earthy/whimsical

GP
Text: An Amoroso Dachshund
Theme: same as the banner

I also am pretty picky about what dachshund is used, as this is my breed in real life. I've attached some that I have found and like (as well as some of my own dogs), but you are welcome to use any that you find that may fit the banner better. For the Bull Terrier, I'm not quite as picky but show quality is always better and I would like the dogs to be in proportion to each other (Standard Dachshunds are a little more than half as high as Bullies).

Thank you in advance, and good luck! I can't wait to see what you all come up with happy :)

*ETA: There is no official closing date, but I will not choose a winner until there are at least 3 entries and I choose one I love. This is a lot of money, so I would love to have many beautiful entries!

Do you have permission from the photographer of the pictures of your dachshund?

I have purchased all of these photos, if that is what you mean. I have not explicitly asked each of them if they may be manipulated for this exact purpose, but they are all relatively old (by a couple years) and have already been used for advertisement purposes without a problem (professional dog show photographers in my area sell their photos for this reason). So, I think it is fine for these photos to be used, but feel free to use others if you are uncomfortable using them! I am not as picky as it may appear to be, and would love to see some examples of what others have come up with!

On another note, this contest is being bumped up to $3000 in winnings! happy :)

I am definitely not jumping with joy over this one, but that's probably because it is 5AM here and I was having trouble sleeping so I made this banner to pass the time. I'll take a look at it with fresh eyes later this afternoon. In the meantime, I figured I'd give you something to look at. :P

Did you know?
The two largest American dog shows after Westminster are the National Dog Show (which is televised on Thanksgiving Day by NBC, usually after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade) and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
