Herder Insignia Art Competition
Last year Obernewtyn.net ran a competition asking members to design how they pictured Cassy Duprey’s design of the Twentyfamilies’ tattoo. Entries can be viewed via this link.
This year, we are asking members to design the insignia of the fanatical religious order of The Land – The Herder Faction.
So... what does the Herder seal look like??
Well, that's why we are having the competition. 
Unlike the Twentyfamilies' tattoo, there is very little reference made to its design in the book. This allows a lot of flexibility.
If you feel that you are a little stuck for ideas, please head over to Stonehill: The Herders thread for discussion with other members 
What you get for entering;
Each entry submitted will get your guild 10 points. You can only enter once, so make your entry worth it - it will be up to the judges as to what constitutes a valid entry or not (eg, basically, don't just submit any old picture that took you 3 minutes to find on google for the 10 points, because you'll get no points. We want serious entries from people who want to win!).
Judging;
There will be two phases of judging.
Phase 1: Lioness and Ariadne
Phase 2: All of the Herder insignias will be posted in a poll, which will run for a couple of weeks; the winner will get the People's Choice award.
Pointage
Judges picks:
1st: 60 points
2nd: 40 points
3rd: 20 points
People's Choice:
Winner: 30 points
All serious entries will receive 10 points.
Where to submit
Please submit your entries to the Herder Faction Insignia Competition Gallery via this link
Final note
Last year, entries for the Twentyfamily tattoo contest were used by Obernet members in a gypsy costume design. This year the Herder costume is being considered. Should any participant not feel comfortable in having their design worn by an Obernewtyn members please let us know via PM after you submit your entry.
Entries close 18th April 2008 (though designs may be chosen to be worn by members earlier)
If you have any questions or would like to be a judge (we're looking for one more person ), please comment at the bottom of the page

@ 27 Mar : 04:09 | During Moonfair, there was a Flag Design competition; one of the options was to design a Herder flag. If we entered that (and put an insignia on), is it all right to use the same design or something similar? (Assuming more than 3 minutes' effort was put into it, of course. ) Or do you want something completely new? Thanks. |

@ 31 Mar : 02:41 | Firefall: It's up to you One of the entries was actually inspired from their Moonfair competition design. If you feel that's what you feel the Herders' insignia then by all means enter it |

@ 18 Apr : 02:44 | ok sorry to the double post monster... i've managed to put up my insignia, under 'Izzy's Herda Insignia'. HOWEVER i think there was a naming issue with the first one I put up so that the insignia 'Herder Insignia' now has my name and description but it isn't actually my image (i dont know if somehow my name's been imposed on it, but I'd hate to take the credit for someone else's work so if someone could fix that up? (i have no idea how it happened or how to fix it...)  [ edited 18 Apr : 02:47 ] |
