OK, so you have an idea for a challenge and you're ready to get stuck in but you don't know what to do about the challenge banner.  Well, have no fear, we're here to help you with that.  If you need a hand just drop us a note here with as many details as you have and someone will jump in to make you a banner to match your theme.

I've personally done many of these myself and will gladly pitch in when and where I can but it doesn't have to be just me.  There's a lot of talent in our membership and if you fancy lending your artistic skills to help a brotha' out you're more than welcome to throw your hat in the ring when someone comes looking for a hand. 

Please remember no one is under any obligation to use the banners that come out of any collaboration - I know I missed the mark with several attempts last year - sometimes the muse talks to you and sometimes not.  No biggie.  Try again or find someone else to help out.  Maybe another member sees your vision better.  It's supposed to be fun.

The end goal is to have a snazzy banner that expresses the theme of your challenge and will look good posted on blogs and websites to link back to your challenge.  If you have a blog please do use the banners as you see fit - that's what they're there for.

Being graphically impaired any help with Listomania and the Unloved would be much appreciated.

Since I can't upload images and have poor graphic design skills, can someone create a banner for the New Books of 2015 Challenge? Just changing the 4 to a 5 in the old banner will be just fine, if no one is feeling especially creative. Thanks!

I would like some proper banners for my Omnibusters and Definitive 1950s challenges, if anyone wants to have a try. It might not be worth spending much time on the Omnibus one if it's only me doing it.

So I had an idea for the Unloved Reading Challenge and I think it worked out pretty good.  What do you think?

Here's one for Listomania.  When I made lists, which I was always doing back in high school, I always ended up doodling on them so that was my inspiration.  Hope you like it.

I've set up a short new challenge, but I need help with making a banner for it.  The challenge (2015 Trick or Treat) is to read just one horror book for Halloween, so there should be plenty of good possibilities for a striking banner.

I've just foolishly created another new challenge, TIE-IN Fighter, for media tie-in fiction, and would very much like it not to have a generic banner. Thanks.

Hey Doc, I did see this post but I've not had much time or creative drive lately to work anything out.  I'll see what I can do this week.  I have a few ideas kicking around that I want to try...

The Women of Genre Fiction Reading Challenge has been renewed for 2016!  Glad to see we are still getting interest in this one after 4 years.

For the others, if the original challenge host does not take up the gauntlet in the next couple weeks anyone who wants can pick them up.  Give 'em a little time to get around to it and perhaps contact them to see if they're still doing them.

If anyone cares to try a banner for the new "Author! Author!" challenge, go for it. My talents don't lie in that direction... Maybe something like the "SF/F/H" Authors banner that's currently one of the alternating pictures on the homepage? The idea of the challenge is to read multiple books by the same author.

Hi, if someone wants to make a banner for the new Today's Random Reads challenge it would be great.

I haven't a clue how, and I'm not very picky.

I was thinking a pair of dice, but I'm open to just about anything.......Thanks to anyone that helps.

Slot machine good idea too.

Instead of showing a win line of all cherries, bars, or whatever. Maybe a win line of the letters R N G? (Random Number Generator)

Or T R R? (Today's Random Reads)

Took a little longer than I thought but here ya go.  I searched for real religious symbols and augmented them with some crop circle patterns and other symbols to suggest alien religions etc.  I snuck in an atheist symbol while I was at it.  The background is the Eye of God Nebula which I thought was a bit of fun for those who might recognize it

It's that time of year again!

I recreated my two challenges for 2017. Dave, can you update my banners to 2017 when you have the chance? They're for the 2017 LGBTQ Spec Fic and the 2017 I Just Have to Read More of That Author challenges. I already created the challenges and they're set to start in January, so they don't appear on the website yet, but they should be in the database.

Thanks!

And Happy New Year!

Steve

All these banners are updated or just repeated if they did not have the year on them.  Let me know if you need any more.  I think we're off to a great start already with almost all of the old challenges back for another go round and some interesting new ones to boot.  Schweet!  Be sure to spread the word on your social media!

I wasn't sure whether there was a demand for one, but since there is, here you go: 

2017 Speculative Fiction Published This Year

I'm not really up to graphics at the moment, but I'll see if I can manage to figure out something for a banner within a few days (unless Admin is feeling particularly inspired and creative and wants to do it).

Lol sounds good! Graphics certainly not needed right away. Thanks for adding. It helps me think about what's new out and about. The challenge has changed the way I search for books.

Hi Link,

I merged your thread with this one.  To add your banner go to your reading challenge page and click the "Edit This Challenge" link.  On the edit page you can add a link to your logo by pasting it into the "Custom Logo Link" field.  This presupposes you have a place on the web to store your graphic.  If you do not you can email your image to me (info at worldswithoutend dot com) and I will add it to your record.

If you don't want to make your own banner then drop some ideas here in this thread and I, or someone else, can make one for you. Let me know if you have further questions.

Here's one for the Unfinished Business 2017 Reading Challenge.  Probably an obvious choice with the puzzle theme but I think it works pretty well just the same.

I really liked the Unfinished Business banner! Also like the challenge idea; I've already got this year's reading list planned but next year . . . And the Triple Fun banner is AMAZING. I hope you repeat these next year because I think I'll combine that one next year with the Grand Mistresses challenge.

I've got the basics updated for the 2018 version of the RYO so it doesn't look too bad at the moment.  I'll be jumping in later tonight to update all the banners that need a new date so stand by for those updates.  If anyone needs a new banner just let me know and I'll help you out.

Happy New Year!  Read on!

Hi Dave

Don't know why but I am struggling to add an image for my Book vs Movie challenge. No matter what I do I just get a broken link.

I have uploaded the image to book covers, and hope you will be able to add it to the challenge for me.

Looks like Apocalypse 2019 with your nice movie-inspired banner went away in the reload, as well as the ability to sign up to The Weirdness because the screen is too long. Possible to fix? Thank you!

With all the trouble we're having with our host service there is nothing I can do at the moment. Whatever I try to fix now will be blown away if the site goes down again which seems very likely. When things stabilize a bit I'll see what I can do to correct the RYO. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Cap! I was updating and remembered you had put together an excellent banner for the Apocalypse 2019 challenge I put out there. However, I think it all got wiped out in the March-April stability issues. Can that challenge be recreated now? Should I create it or is it one you can roll over? Appreciate your help, thanks!

Hey Fin,

I tried to roll it over from the last one but it just won't work for me. It appears I'm missing some table connection that won't get created unless it goes through the signup form.

You'll have to start it up from scratch but you can back date it to your original start date if you want. I still have the banner so when you set it up I'll add back the banner image.

I have put in the Halloween Mini Challenge again for this year. Can you put in a banner for it? The one you made for the last one was great if you want to use it again.

Thanks!

If you want to get a head start on challenge banners, I have submitted challenges for next year (only a few days away!). You can use the same banners as last time for three of them. One will need a new one.

Thanks!

Dave,

Could you please make a banner for my new challenge ROTFL! (Read funny books).  Let your imagination go wild on this, but please don't use a year (so the banner can be easily reused).

Thanks!

Happy New Year everyone! Let's all hope for a better year this year.

I have updated the RYO pages with the new 2020 logo etc. If you see anything missing or broken please let me know. I'll be updating those missing banners as soon as tomorrow but it may take a few days to get to them all. Cheers!

Can you make a banner for the Native American Speculative Fiction Challenge?
In case you have forgotten, you made a pretty cool banner for the Killer Bs challenge a few years ago. You can use that one again if you want to.
Thanks!

And, Thanks for getting the Sequel and Space Opera banners up!

Hi Dave

I've resurrected the Spec Fic by People of Colour challenge because I missed it. I've updated the same banner that was used for the old challenge, but still can't figure out a way to add it to the challenge. So I've taken the route of one of the other ubers, and uploaded the banner to book covers on Media Fire. Hope you don't mind and that is okay.
Thanks

If you click on the picture of the old challenge and open it in a new tab you can copy the URL that shows in the search bar and paste it into the relevant field in the new challenge set up.

It would be nice to have an rollover feature in the challenge set up though.

Just created a new challenge to read books by SWFA Grand Masters, using the award list on the site. Could you please create a banner for this? I'd be happy with the one used for the award, but a newly created one would be great too. I look to make this an annual challenge as well.

Thanks for that tip. It wouldn't have worked in this instance because I had to edited the '2015' out of it, but it's still good to know for the future.

Just a reminder on the Grand Master challenge banner, when you get a moment. Also, someone created a ROTFL challenge that looks rather naked without a banner.

Also, could you resurrect either the Horror Tour from 2018 or The Weirdness from 2019? I don't see any horror challenges but I didn't want to create a new one from scratch, better to use one that people might be familiar with.

Thank you!

Charles normally sets up the Weirdness challenge. That one is his baby. But he normally arrives a little later in January to set his challenges up. Give it a couple of weeks.

We haven't always had a Horror challenge, so you could try contacting the person who created the last one, and if they don't want to do it again, set it up yourself.

Hey Dave, I tried everything I could to add a banner I made to the Urban Fantasy Challenge, but everything I tried just ended up with a broken link. Therefore, I have uploaded it to the book covers and hope you don't mind adding it to the Challenge for me.

Tried again, but still get broken links, even with the picture at the right size. However, I realised if I posted the picture in the forum for the reading challenge, I could copy it from there and it works.

I've tried my hand at a banner for the "Fity-Two in 2021" challenge. I tried to use the url below, but that doesn't seem to work? So, if it's an acceptable design, could you upload this one? Thanks!

I had the same problem with non-working links. I found if I created a forum for the challenge, then uploaded the banner to the forum post, I could then copy the banner url to the challenge and it worked.

Thanks for that. I couldn't see it until the Challenge started on October 1st. Is there a way to see and edit challenges that you make before they start? I have always had to wait until the start date to be able to edit or see them.

Easing into and out of RYO challenges is something that we desperately need to work on.

Hey Dave,

I'm beginning the rush of updating banners for 2022. I've created the 2022 I Just Have To Read More... and 2022 LGBTQ+ Challenges. So when you have a chance, can you update the banners from this year and attach them to the new challenges?

Thanks so much and Happy Holidays!

Hi Dave!

I've created the 2023 LGBTQ and "I Just HAVE to Read More of that Author" challenges. Can you update and apply the banners for them?

Also I created a new challenge called Elizabeth III. It's kind of like the Killer B's challenge, but features the three prominent Elizabeths in genre fiction: Moon, Bear, and Hand. If you have any ideas for a banner for this, maybe featuring their photos, or pics of their last names, like a moon, a bear, and a hand, that would be awesome.

Thanks for your help and happy holidays!

The WABC Machine

Sub-Genre Challenge (which I used in lieu of Time Travel last year)

I assume they just haven't gotten around to starting them for 2023. I'd be glad to post those if they don't.

Hi Finminer

I don't roll over every one of my challenges every year. Normally I try to do something different every year (although I haven't come up with anything yet!). Feel free to post the Sub-Genre (or Time Travel) if you would like. Sub-Genre will probably have more takers as it has more scope.

Can you put the flaming jack-o'-lantern banner on this year's Halloween Challenge (hope I didn't put it in twice) and add one for the other challenge I put it for September? I think this one was done before, so there might be a banner already made. I don't remember what it looked like. Or you can make a new one if you like.

Thanks!

Hi, I just initiated the David Drake Memorial Military SF Challenge. I re-read the second sentence wording and it's not clear enough can you correct it to read:

"Try to read at least one third from WWE's Baen Reader's List of Recommendations and/or from David Drake himself."

I'll leave it to you to find a kick ass image for the banner.

Thanks so much.

Great idea for a reading challenge!

I'm working on the banner now. You might want to add something about Drake's status in the MilSF world to flesh out the memorial part of the challenge description.

Thanks. You are right, I think it needs a bit more.

------

David Drake was an icon in the Military Science Fiction world. He wrote some of the most influential fiction in the genre. His work was honest, gritty, and it touched the lives of many readers and writers.

If you have never read any of his books, make it up to yourself and join this challenge.

I don't know what your policy is for adding outside links. Is it ok to add this to my David Drake challenge?

Outside links are perfectly fine. That's a good one!

Hi! My challenge is called Triple N. Readers are challenged to read all 6 of this year s Nebula Nominated Novels prior to the award ceremony in June. A custom banner would be magnificent if anyone has a chance to help me out. Cheers!
