Create a BINGO Card

General rules for creating cards are simple. The prompts must be suitable for an all-ages audience (i.e., avoid the use of profane language, graphic sexual references, and references to graphic violence). The cards cannot use copyrighted material in a way that violates fair use without permission of the original rights holder. (For example, if you use image-based prompts, the images must be in the public domain, or you must have permission of the artist to use their work.)

Once you submit a BINGO card to the challenge, you will not be able to edit your card and you will not be able to withdraw your card from the challenge! We may make minor edits and changes, such as correcting spelling mistakes.

You may create as many cards as you would like. The more cards we have, the more fun the event will be! Even if there is already a card for a particular theme, you may create a different card for the same theme. (For example, there is a Sons of Fëanor card; you may create additional Sons of Fëanor cards with different prompts.)

Questions? Contact us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org and we'll be happy to help!

Have fun and be creative!

Download a Card Template

Please make sure your read the following guidelines carefully before creating your card. The template is in PSD format.

• Do not add BINGO numbers to the cards. We will add the numbers when you return the card to us.
• Please keep the dimensions of the card roughly the same as the template.
• Feel free to change colors, fonts, add images, et cetera--get creative!
• Remember that, for any images you use, you must either have permission from the copyright holder, or the image must be in the public domain.
• Save your card in PSD format and return it to us by emailing us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org. We prefer the card to remain in PSD format, but JPG, PNG, and GIF formats are also acceptable.

Download a PSD file of the card template.

Create a Card from Scratch

If you want to create a card from scratch, you may do so, but please read the guidelines below carefully to ensure that we can use your card. Cards that do not meet the guidelines will not be used. Check out existing cards to get an idea of how to set up your card.

• Total dimensions for the card should not exceed 600 px in width and 700 px in height.
• Create a space at the top of your card for the title of your card.
• Below the title, add 25 boxes for prompts, with five boxes per row (for a total of five rows).
• Designate the center space as a FREE SPACE. Do not include a prompt in this space!
• Leave 30 px of space at the top of each box. Do not put anything in this space. We will add BINGO numbers in this space once you send the cards to us.
• Include a prompt in each box, except for the free space, for a total of 24 prompts.
• Remember that, for any images you use, you must either have permission from the copyright holder, or the image must be in the public domain.
