Half-Life 2 spray tags are really easy to make. SourceBall is going to be really good. Combine these two simple concepts, and you'll see we really had no choice but to launch the SOURCEBALL TAG DESIGN COMPETITION. The best entries, as selected by our development team, will be included in the release version of the mod with the designer's name as the title. You have the chance to show your talent off to a few million players! Click "read more" below for the rules, or check out the new dedicated forum (where you can also see my own excellent home-made SourceBall tag).

We look forward to seeing your entries!

The rules:

• In order to be an eligable tag, it must be usable in standard HL2DM- that's the acid test, if it doesn't work in that don't submit it 'til it's fixed!
• 
  
• There are NO restrictions on type, size, or anything else. If it works in-game, and it's your own work, you can submit it.
• 
  
• YOU ARE LIMITED TO AN INFINTE NUMBER OF ENTRIES. If anyone posts more tags than that, they'll be disqualified, and probably set on fire. :)
• 
  
• Entries will only be accepted if you post a valid link to the image in the relevant place in the forum. If your link dies, your entry is gone! If you don't have anywhere to host the image, I recommend http://www.imageshack.us/ which I use myself- it's easy to use, reliable and quick to set up. Remember, you'll have to register on the forum to post!

• We're making SourceBall, we like SourceBall, this is the SourceBall tag competition. With that in mind, your entries will probably do better if they are in some way related to SourceBall!
• 
  
• Don't submit things which are going to get us sued, please. We don't like being sued, it's rubbish. Don't get us sued, even a little bit...
• 
  
• The deadline for entries is the first public release of the mod- that's when we'll be judging, and including, the winners. We may choose to extend the competition beyond that date if we're still getting a high volume of entries, but the ones included with that release are staying in the mod forever.

Good luck and happy designing, everyone!
