This is a 'living' banner – as we get new submissions the banner should be updated within 5-20 minutes (of us confirming the add). After there are ~12 submission the banner will auto-update randomly every ~20 minutes – if you were added and no longer see your picture on the banner it may randomly get re-added in 20 minutes. It should always be visible in the last banner at http://www.gwlove.net.

Participants will also get the gold star flair afterwards (within a few days of the banner ending).

Submissions linked here may be displayed as the page background in the /r/gonewild chat (linked in the /r/gonewild sidebar).

By popular request, we have a summary album of participant pictures and names (and previous banners) at http://gwlove.net/ .

How to participate

• be a verified poster on r/gonewild (see below)

• take Holiday-themed gonewild pictures of yourself (yup, nudity required). Please include something physical that is related to the theme (candy canes, bows, rap yourself in stringed lights, etc – do not photoshop in something to make it match the theme.

• post it on r/gonewild with “banner” in the title AND add a link to it in the comments of this post

• one picture per poster. If you want a picture swapped out with a different one, that's cool, it will just take a little longer to do.

• Mods will queue it to be added to the banner (should go-live within 5-10 minutes of a mod commenting on it)
