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.
