2) HERE’S HOW TO ENTER: Fans of Flight of the Conchords are invited to design an original tour poster (“Poster”) for the band.

Uploaded Posters must comply with the file format specifications and submission instructions indicated on the Contest Site. Sponsor grants you permission to use the Flight of the Conchords artwork, photographs and title treatment made available on the Contest Site, solely for the purpose of incorporating such materials in your Poster. Entries must be received by 11:59AM ET on 2/20/09. The Contest Site database clock is the official timekeeper for the Contest. Entrant (sometimes referred to herein as “you”) must agree to these Official Rules; noncompliance with these Official Rules (as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion) will result in disqualification. By submitting a Poster, you acknowledge that you have read and accept these Official Rules. Additionally, you agree that you have all rights, approvals and/or consents necessary to submit the Poster on the terms provided in these Official Rules and your Poster does not violate the rights of any other person or entity or any law.

IMPORTANT: Poster must not contain images or likenesses (in whole or in part) of any people who have not been featured in the Flight of the Conchords series, as determined by Sponsor. Poster must not infringe on the copyrights or trademarks of another party/entity (e.g., must not include licensed or unlicensed third-party lyrics, graphics, logos, apparel, images, etc.) as determined by Sponsor. If a Poster contains such material, Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to either disqualify the Poster or to blur or otherwise modify the disqualifying material and accept the submission and/or to contact the entrant and provide the opportunity for him/her to resubmit Poster without the disqualifying material, time permitting. Any Poster, which in the sole opinion of Sponsor, is deemed unsuitable for public presentation (e.g., contains personal information, defamation, nudity, gratuitous violence, inappropriate language, etc.) or is inconsistent with the theme or image of the Contest will result in disqualification. All entries must be in English. You may enter more than once; however, each entry must be accompanied by a unique Poster. Limit one prize per person. Decisions of Sponsor and its designated judges are final and binding in all respects.

3) JUDGING: Sponsor will judge all entries to determine 10 Finalist winners (subject to verification of eligibility) based on originality and creativity (50%) and relevance to Contest theme (50%). The 10 Finalists will then be judged by Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement to determine 1 Grand Prize winner. In the event a tie needs to be broken, tied entries will be rejudged in accordance with the above criteria. Sponsor reserves the right to select fewer than 10 Finalist entries, in its sole discretion, if Sponsor does not receive a sufficient number of eligible and qualified entries. Potential winners will be contacted via email to request additional information required for prize fulfillment. Responses to any requests made to potential winners must be received by Sponsor within 5 days; failure to comply within this time period may result in disqualification and an alternate may be selected. Sponsor assumes no responsibility for undeliverable emails resulting from any form of active or passive email filtering by a user’s internet service provider and/or email client or for insufficient space in user’s email account to receive email. Return of any email as undeliverable will result in disqualification and an alternate may be selected.

4) TERMS OF SUBMISSION: By submitting a Poster, entrant represents, warrants and agrees that entrant is the sole creator of the Poster.

Upon Sponsor’s request, entrant must sign waiver forms authorizing the release of personal and background information and, if entrant fails or refuses to sign and return such forms, he/she will be disqualified and an alternate potential winner may be selected.

If the poster requires a 300 dpi/CMYK design why are all the downloadable design elements 72 dpi and RGB? It's easy enough to convert from RGB to CMYK, but what about the resolution problem?
