This post is designed to help newbs to the competition get to know how things work. If you feel that you don't understand something completely or you think you can improve this post then send me a nice PM.
I have decided to basically explain the competition in a question/ answer sorta way.
What is the Fan Art Competition?
The Fan Art Competition is a monthly event where artists create some form of art based on a certain theme.
What is the theme?
The theme is decided by the winner of the previous months competition and must be video game related.
What if I don't know much about the theme?
Information resources are provided in the first post of the thread.
Who can submit art?
Anyone
What are my restrictions?
You are allowed to submit one entry, but other than that there are no restrictions. There are no size, quality, image size restrictions.
Who decides the winner?
OCR of course, the whole community votes on it.
How does voting work?
On the day after the deadline I will make a post that displays all of the art submitted. Then users will be allowed to see every entry and decide which three they like the best, in order. Afterwhich they will send me a PM with their vote and maybe a few comments about the contest. They must do so in the announced voting period. If not then they fail at voting.
When and how do we see the results?
After the voting period is over I will count the results and figure out which peice has the most points. When voting the voter sends in their top three favorite peices. The one they like the most is worth 3 points, the second 2 points and the third 1 point.
If I enter the contest can I vote?
Yes, and voting for yourself is allowed if you REALLY wanna.
Once the points have been counted I will send a happy PM to the winner that tells them that they one and explains how they are to choose the next months theme. *deep breath* Once I get a PM back I will post the results and artists choice for the next months theme.
Rules and Regulations!
1) Any art submitted must be based off of the months theme.
2) No P0rn.
3) Your entry must be created within the month. It cannot have been something you've created in the past or partially finished prior to the announcement of the theme.
4) All entries must be 100% your work. Simply altering something created by someone else may be cool, but is not allowed as an entry.
