Design a New Twitter Page for Doc Sadler and Win Basketball Tickets

Are you good at Photoshop?

Like designing web pages?

Have an interest in Nebraska athletics?

Well, here’s a chance to put your touch on what Husker fans see when it comes to Nebraska basketball.

In his first Twitter contest of the year, Coach Doc Sadler is announcing a challenge to Husker fans -- design the best page for his Twitter account and not only will your design be used for his page background, but you’ll win two tickets to a Big 12 home game.

Here’s how it will work: The five pictures linked below are available for you to use as part of the background. Use at least two of them in your design, or use all of them. Your choice, but just remember to make it something every Husker will love to see when they follow Doc’s tweets.

Once you have a page designed, email a .jpg file to us at NUhoopsblog@hotmail.com with your name, address and phone number. All entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 14. If you want to follow him, check out twitter.com/Coach_Sadler. You can also follow Nebraska basketball tweets at twitter.com/NUhoopsblog or follow our blog here.

On Oct. 15, Doc will pick the top five designs. Starting on Oct. 16 ? the first official day of practice ? at 6 p.m., the fifth-place design will be used as the background for his account. Each month after that on the 16th, the next highest-place design will be shown for a month, with the overall winner being displayed on his page from Feb. 16 through the end of the postseason.

Make sure to include your name on the page so everyone can know who did the cool design. Some other things to remember:

1)      Other photos can be copied and used from the archives on Huskers.com (check them out here), but please do not infringe on other copyrighted photos from outside sources. Any photos in the archives are free game to copy and use as part of this design. Generic or stock photos from free or purchase websites used as part of the design are also acceptable (ie, logo-free basketballs, nets, jerseys, etc.).

2)      Be creative but try to represent this year’s team, the program overall, the university and the state with your design.

3)      The file size should be less than 800k so that it’s acceptable to Twitters’ regulations.

4)      Any designs that contain images or logos of non-Nebraska approved corporate sponsors cannot be accepted, but may be returned for adjustment.
