Regular challenges

Usually have no rules, other than have fun!

Splash screen challenges

Here are some proposed rules:

• must be done in Synfig only, no external images

• must have "Synfig X.XX.XX Splash Screen" as the name
• must contain copyright and license info in the description
• must include full source code, preferably all in one .sif
• must be licensed under the GNU GPLv2 or later
  • Public Domain or CC0 is an acceptable alternative
• must not depend on specific fonts
• must be a still image since the code isn't yet ready for animations (ensure end time is set to 0s)
• must be willing and able to make changes requested by the community
• should probably include the Synfig logo, either by referencing logo.sif or recreating it in a different form
• should probably include the words "Synfig Studio"
• should probably include the version number
• should probably be smallish, 300x400 is a reasonable size
