bonzai!

Well, unfortunately (but not unlikely) no entries this time around. As much fun as it's been running the competition for ~2 years now, I'm looking to get out of the business. If any one is still interested in there being a FAC and would like to take on the duties of running it, please let me know (I'll pass along the password to the photobucket album I've been using). Thanks!

sighhhhhhh well now that we are here, I'm sure the influx of participants and entries will be overwhelming. That said, I currently have no submissions whatsoever right now, and it is Sunday! That day I said was the last day to submit entries! Bated breath, etc etc So, if you are planning on submitting, please let me know. If enough people convince me they can submit something if the deadline is extended, it will most likely be extended.

bumping the threaaaad 1 week left!

New thread is up!

FAC 48 Theme: Survival Horror Welcome to the July 2011 edition of the Fan Art Competition (FAC)! As last month's winner of the competition, DJ Mighty gets to choose the theme!

So unfortunately, we had no entries this month. I'm going to think of a theme for April and get the new thread up, and hopefully we'll get a bit more participation this time around. thanks brandon strader for the link to this ridiculously large and appropriate image

soooooo, I'm going to extend the deadline until next week Sunday. I didn't receive any entries, but maybe given another week we could stir up a few. If not, I guess I'll be making up a theme for April's competition. The new deadline to submit entries is now SUNDAY APRIL 3RD. Anyone who sends me an April Fool's entry that is a link to Rick Astley will receive a permanent ban from the competition. AM I KIDDING???
