So far, no one has actually been holding the logo..... are avatars acceptable for a winning entry?
Not everyone likes to display themselves to the public

No, I agree - I wouldn't either really, but no point entering at all if avatars are not acceptable according to the competition details. That's why clarification would be good.
no valid entries so far guys!! :)
Spoke to Rawz an A4 piece of paper with ARIA written on (go to town make it look good) is acceptable for those of you that have no printers!
All my options seems a little ott.
Don't want to get into trouble lol.

This comp should totally run over a weekend!
Ahh man, if I had until 8pm rather than 5 then I had an idea:
I was gonna get a picture of the string orchestra rehearsal I've got tonight at RNCM from the conductor's point of view, but have him conducting from the AriaPC image rather than a score D:
Now I'm sunk... unless I can make time to go out and busk with it ;)

The Aria PC Man :D - notice the tiny holes so I could see where I was going ;)
http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2002/ariacomp.jpg
As this is designed to get Aria's name out there, I thought about the best place to achieve that in my area, and settled on our Tescos! Tiverton has a population of around 39,000 and the VAST majority of the residents shop there. I asked the front desk how many people they estimated they get through their doors in a day but they couldn't tell me, other than "it's a hell of a lot!"
So yeah, sorry I couldn't go anywhere cool, but it's the best I could do in little old Devon! :)

It was very windy, I lost some skin to a vicious rock, I banged up my dodgy knee, and I got ear ache from the cold :-1
but it was all worth it to see the splendid landscape :) and spread the word of Aria :+1
I met some awesome rock climbers who were so impressed by the Aria logo, they took it right to the very top of Haytor so that it could be held aloft in all it's glory :weeee
http://i.imgur.com/7OHJM.jpg
This logo has special properties - it can be held up by the wind alone!

Haytor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haytor) is a big chunk of granite, popular with tourists. This is almost educational...

Lol over 60% of these don't even comply with the rules :lol:,
I want you to print off our Aria Logo (below) and take a picture of yourself holding the logo in the best outdoor place possible.
Print off bit means shopped photos aren't allowed, I like Broadsword's one myself and andyinscotland's :).
