2007/07/27 And the winner is...

After we launched the banner competition here on this site in January, we received many good and some less good suggestions. Everything from cool skambankt-boxers to nasty and unuseable data files. One banner stood out, with both nice design and user-friendliness. Additionally, we have seen that this banner works as a banner should work. This is what Linn set a high value on (respect!): The banner has two sides, an "Eliksir-side" and a "Skambankt-side". It is hand-painted, except for the two logos on the Skambankt side. (Painting didn't work) The banner can be machine-washed at 30°C. The poles can be taken out and replaced by some shorter ones that are not visible then, or can be completely removed. (Depending on what the festival allows) Everything has be done by myself, no joking or help. The banner's size is about 50x150cm, and it can be handled by two people without problems. Probably one person with longer arms than me. With this banner, Linn Pettersen won an exclusive private concert in our studio in Stavanger. We buy the flight and pick her and a friend up at the airport with our dear Sonja. Hotel is included. Congratulations!

This nice banner takes machine-washing at 30 degrees! Impressive. (Photo: Linn Pettersen)
