Hello, welcome to the first heat of the seventh Official Banner Competition, with your new host, me, Matt
Over the past few weeks you have all been submitting your banners for this competition, the theme of which is "Your Best Graphics". It is now time for you to start deciding which banner deserves to win the contest!
So how does it work? Well, the 85 banners submitted to the competition have been split in to eight groups (5 with 11 banners, 3 with 10). Over the next few weeks, you will get to choose your favourite banner from each group. The two banners that get the most votes in each group will then be put into one final heat, and the banner that gets the most votes in this final heat will be crowned winner of the banner competition
So, without further ado, lets have a look at the banners competing in Heat 1:
