This may not be the best thumbnail in the world, but I like it.

2nd place $30 Steam game key Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide @TaylorGames
3rd place $20 Steam game key for Ryse: Son of Rome @HealPleaseHeal


March Contest!
All thumbs!

Details for the March contest
We are going back to the basics, this is something that all YouTubes have created and thought about, yes that's right it's thumbnails.... The image kind, not the ones on the end of your thumbs sort!


We want you to put your best thumbnail forward. We will only be judging one, so make sure it's your best. Also it must be included on your channel (it can't be one you have made for someone else).

The thumbnail will be judged on:
  • How clickable it is, does it draw your attention and make the viewer want to click it?
  • How it relates to the video, it should be clear from the thumbnail what the video will be and what's included in it.
  • Does it scale well, it may look amazing when it is blown up full scale, but if you have half the writings of Shakespeare on a tiny thumbnail it's going to be quite hard for the viewer to read. Don't over complicate it!

IMPORTANT

To qualify for this contest, make sure you follow these:

  • Must be a Freedom partner and have the Purple Freedom! Partner Badge to be eligible for the prizes.
  • Reply to this thread with the image of the thumbnail. Do not just post a video link. You can choose to post the full scale, the small version as seen on YouTube or both, long as it's the same image.
  • It must be your own, copying one off the internet or someone else will get you disqualified!

Prizes
We are having a total of 3 winners! The winner of this month’s contest will receive $50 in cash, 2nd and 3rd, $50 worth of steam game keys distributed between them. More prizes may be given out depending on the amount and quality of entries.

The forum team look forward to your entries. Best of luck to everyone!
Deadline for the contest is the 27th of March, results posted around the 5th of April.

i found it really funny making it, hope u all like it :)
