To edit the image, first you need to save it onto your hard drive. The procedure to do so may vary from browser to browser but is usually accomplished by right-clicking onto the image, selecting "Save Image As..." and selecting the destination. You can then open the image with any image editing program such as Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter, Corel PaintShop Pro, Corel Photo-Paint, GIMP, Macromedia Fireworks, to list a few.

There are usually basic and easy to use ways of adding text to an image. Be sure to use a font and a font size that is easily readable. Turning off the anti-aliasing-effect (smoothing) often enhances readability with very small text.

You may use the version with speech bubbles if you don't feel comfortable with creating them yourself. Should you wish to vary the size, amount, and order of the speech bubbles, you can download the version without the bubbles and create them yourself with an image editing program.

Image editing programs usually give you an easy way to save the picture as a JPEG, which is necessary for submission, since no other format is accepted. You can chose different quality settings, which will result in more or less space the image will take up. There should be no problem in choosing a high quality, since the image will not take up more than the maximum of 2 MB even in the highest quality.

Yes.. :\

Any reason why? Any legal thing that prevent us from participating that I'm not aware of? If so I'll accept it as our flaw and see what I can do to change it here, but if not why should we be left out?

Or does the european map you use only shows Spain in the Peninsula and it's just a geography oversight?

Anyway, good luck to those that CAN participate..

/bitter

Merry Christmas.

Those European countries left out are in most (or all) cases victim for contest laws that does not approve the rules of Blizzards contests... I'm not able to write this in some fancy lawyer language (which in this case would actually be easier to understand) but if someone can, and understand, please translate this so everyone has a chance of understanding it... I'm just not an expert on expressing myself in the english language as it's not my mother tongue and I'm just not a top student :)

But I can tell you that it's mostly your countries fault and not Blizzards... Of course they could change some things, but that might ruin the idea of the contest... I don't know much about it, just guessing and trying to help :)

If you use a lawyer language, it would probably be worst ! :-P

Anyway, I can't imagine any problem with contest in here... We have lots of stupid contests...

Maybe it have something to do with international contests, maybe thats lacking of legislation in here.

But this "discrimination" affect us in many ways, we cant test beta realms either.

Thats the part which gives most countries some problems as their law may not regognise contests which aren't ruled by their laws as a legal contest.
ie. if blizzzard would put them selves to a whims of what ever legal systems happen to be in those countries we wouldn't be having this discussion but as blizzard has HQs in franze they decided to stay by the french laws and make contests only in countries that allow contests which aren't governed by laws of a country in question.

His post comes to this, the countries which are left out of the contest have some sort of policy when it comes to contests, the blizzard contest has not been approved by those countries and are therefor left out of the competition unfortunatly.

so this is something blizzard can't do a *#!# about. The problem lays with the laws of ure country.

that's about it :P

Dear Blizzard,
I have some serious problems with sending my entry, I am experiencing the following problems:
-1) When I don't send .jpg like .JPG or .jpeg it says "file not valid"
-2) When I send .jpg I get:
a) a white page
b) server not responding
c) more unpleased suprises
d) Please remember that, when submitting a file below, the file must be a JPEG and be less than 2 MB in size. (Does that mean it's send?)

I was hoping that you could contact me by email or something to solve this
(lowette_thijs@hotmail.com)

Greets,
Nopai.

Aye,

Have posted a couple of times, no error messages, sometimes it goes to a "Page not found" page after an age of uploading to the server, but once it came back just with blank fields and no response message. Just hoping really that at least one of the attempts got through.

Been trying to upload my suggestions for several days now, but I can't even get the submission page to show correctly. What seems to be the problem? I understand if the page is crowded certain parts of the day, but I've been trying for three days throughout the day now.

I still haven't received any email as confirmation when I entered the contest. Maybe I entered the wrong email.. Maybe I can make another application with the same comic strip?
