What an amazing idea! I don't think I will be clever enough to put one out myself but it will be really interesting to see what people does with this!

[owlflight]

So good luck to the entrants!

[FoObY]

Wow! This is an amazing idea! I absolutely love reading infographics. This is right up my alley so I might give this a shot.

[ownsarai]

This contest is a very awesome idea! I love it. I won't be participating, but I am very anxious to see the entries.

[Heavenly]

I won't participate, because I don't have a single ideas of I would do, but I'm looking forward to see others' entries ^^

[Delicious n Bold]

If only I was artistically inclined and had time...

[nmskalmn]

Well, this is a first. There were no qualifying entries submitted to this contest.

Should we extend the deadline or just cancel it?

[AyuGAME]

i want to try...but it's quiet hard...i don't know...my brain is just stuck...hahaha
no entries so far?
maybe extend the deadline for a little bit?

[Pinguu]

Maybe there aren't so many people skillful with infographics and the contest should be broaden to any kind of pictorial work (drawing, photoshop, infographic, etc)
At least I'd have spent time for something... <(_ _)>

[jurichi]

extend the deadline, please... I've just found out about the context and I would love to give it a try

[JaysenRyan]

Cancel it. It was an interesting idea, but why waste time trying to make a contest work when we can start a new one.

[JaysenRyan]

How about my Bookmark Contest Idea? Everyone seemed to like that

same here v_v

[ownsarai]

I don't even know where to begin on making an infographic. I'd say if people still want to try it out then extend the deadline, but if not, then maybe just change it. The bookmark idea is great actually. I would love to enter into that contest.
