As we all know, it's Joanna's birthday in a couple of weeks, so Phil and I came up with the idea of a contest in celebration of her birthday!

Like the previous time, the maximum height is 250 pixels, and the max. length is 500. It has to contain the name of the forum (‘absolutely Joanna Lumley’ or Joanna Lumley forum’) and preferably a nice birthday wish.

The voting starts about a week before the first of May, so that’s on the 24st of April – please send in your entries before that time!

Please do not post your banner(s) on the forum, but send it/them to the forum's address: staff.absolutelyjoannalumley@hotmail.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false.

Good luck everyone!

Alright darlings, time to get creative again! Make it a good one for Jo's birthday

She'll turn 63 (can you believe it?!) , so please make it clear that it's in celebration of her birthday...

So sweeties, let's get creative!

Argh, I've got exams! I'll try my best but I don't know how inspired it'll be.

Aaaaaaaa I can take part as well maybe... not sure. Only that I'm not sure if I have time to vote as I'm planning to take a holiday trip right at 24th of April...

I'm too bad at creating this sort of stuff but as a good forum citizen, I'll vote

I've created a couple of entries. No telling if I'll be able to manage a third. I'll give it some more time...

Great I think you're the only one so far. I'm gonna start making some today I think.

I made some .... sending them in a jiffy.

All the entries (as soon as you've finished making them of course) are welcome! You can send them to the stafs e-mail address, as posted above!

Done it ... hope you guys are going to like them.

How many do we have already (all in all)?

Well I've made 2 so far.
And I've just seen yours and they're beautiful. Only 1 tiny problem, they're supposed to be birthday themed...

Oh, they had to be themed as well? Darn.
I had just looked at the 1st contest and they didn't seem themed.

Okay, delete them then.
I might do some birthday themed but I'll have to come up with something good first.

I'm affraid they have to, yes... The first contest was about TNA, so it was only Avenger-related pictures, and now we decided to do something birthday-ish...

But don't worry - you've got enough time to make another one!

I sent my entries in a few days ago, but I didn't get a confirmation e-mail, so I'm just wondering--did they get through? Or should I send them again?

Oh sorry darling - we never send confirmation e-mails: we usually tell on the forum, but I'm affraid neither me nor Phil has checked the mail address yet...

I'm checking as we speak - thanks for the entries, very nice.

Ghah! The last day to send banners is today, right?
I will send the ones I finished right away ... darn, I'm glad I checked the post on time. I was _so_ sure that I'd have until Monday. *lol*

Whew! Sometimes e-mail doesn't always get there, and I was worried the deadline was going to elapse without them getting through! Thanks for checking.

Haha, don't worry darling - we've received your banners. (yours too by the way Cira, very lovely!)

Is the voting set to start soon?

Oh yeah, nearly forgot. I'll set that up tonight. Unfortunately not many people send in stuff, so it's just you, me and Cira I'm afraid

Oh, well. At least someone entered other than me.

I'm sorry sweeties, I've been so terribly busy last week that I didn't have time to create anything at all for this competition... But I must say I really like the entries, so well done!
