We need a new banner up on top of the site, so I thought it'd be cool if we give you guys a chance to contribute something to the site, and in the process, have a chance at winning some merch!

First, the necessities:
  • The banner must be 1000px wide X 100px high
  • Don't include the GDA logo, instead leave a space on the left side of your design where the logo fits
  • Remember that the tabs for "Band", "Site", "Merch", etc. sit on top of the banner along the bottom.
  • The left and right edges should fade to black, it just looks better.
  • Not a necessity, but it'd be cool if your banner was made of live photos from Green Day concerts

    Send your image to contests@greendayauthority.com by Friday September 16th (11:59pm EST), and we'll pick our favorite 5 submissions. Four runner-ups will have their choice of getting our new rage/love wristbands or some guitar picks, and first place will get some wristbands (or guitar picks) plus their choice of $25 worth of merch from the official Green Day store.

    Let's see what you guys got. Help make GDA all purty like.
