By now many of you will have noticed changes made to Superhero of the Month, some major, and some minor. The biggest is the color scheme on the site switching to predominantly white and the new banner.

I know we'd been changing the banner every month, and while that was a fun way to highlight the winner of the previous month's contest, it was a process that, while not difficult, could be somewhat time consuming.
Since we typically go from announcing the most recent contest winner to posting art for the next contest within a matter of days, I wanted to compensate for that to give contest winners some due respect. Now, the Recent Winner page features the winner of the previous month's contest, along with the judge comments and a link to the full post.
The final "big change" is the inclusion of the Interact page. This page links to all of our social media pages, including Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt and, most recently, Tumblr. Tumblr will be great because, in addition to the art you see on Superhero of the Month being featured there, we also plan on reblogging your art and other redesigns that don't fit standard SHotM criteria.
Of course, all of these are auxiliaries to help spread the word about your artwork, and they work best when you interact with them. Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and Tumblr to help make this happen.
One medium change is that the Features page has been merged with the About page. They just seemed like something that could be condensed together.
Minor changes have been made to the Submission Guidelines. Nothing rule-wise has changed; changes were mostly to clarify.
Additionally, the Past Events page had some format modification done to it, but nothing changed in terms of content.
We hope you'll find the new site design beneficial and easier to use. Let us know what you think in the comments below, and if you have any suggestions on improvements, let us know there or via email.
Thanks for sticking trough the changes. Stay tuned for new redesigns, this month featuring Gorilla Grodd!![]()
