Hello there! Welcome to my tektek competition!

I would like to start out by saying that this is a competition for people create simple to semi cluttered avis... Avatars that have piles and piles of items will not do well. I'm not saying that people who specialize in extreme clutter can't join, I'm just saying that they will probably not do well in the competition (I will make sure to let you know if I think you won't do well in the competition when you send in you examples).

Also, I am hoping to get people who enjoy tekteking and are not just here for the prize. With that said, I am poor so the prize will be 300k + avi art (By me). The winner of each round will also get 10k. I am also thinkin about letting the judges submit their own entry for each round and letting the contestants vote for the winner, then I would give judges 5-10k for winning the round as well.

I hope to have lots of fun with this competition and look forward to seeing all your awesome creations!!

Task: Duel Avis
Dream Free: No (unless it is to make it layer like it does on gaia itself)
Price Limit: none
Due Date: at midnight (according to this Clock [Pacific Time Zone])

You will have a week each round to get your tektek PMed to me. I will post the theme of the week in this post.

How the judging works: The judges will rank the tekteks, 1 being the best and 13 being the worst. Then I will add the scores together and whoever has the biggest amount is eliminated (the biggest cumulative score). So if you got placed at number 10, 11, 9 by three judges, that totals 30. (based off Sakuralinh's 'Fashion Runway')

We will have a bonus round going while we wait for all the positions to be filled. It will continue for a couple of days after all the positions are filled. If you win this, or any round, you will receive 10k gold.

Silver Nox I like good color coordination, decent layering and really don't like random items thrown in because they match or multiple forms of the same item. I must also admit that I am not fond of the items that change the avis legs (mostly the ones that make the legs tiny) unless used really well.

Sir_Catherine I like color and item balance, avatars not overwhelmed by their items, and items that create a theme together rather than appearing to be chosen at random.
I don't like clutter, overly dark black & red themes or buck teeth.

iiSugar Sweet I Like Balance around the avi, Creativity, overall "flow'" and most certainly, Matching! I believe that an avi looks best when it has one item as its main eyecatcher, and the rest of the outfit 'revolves around it' to create a harmonious array of perfection(= I very much dislike when things are thrown on for no reason or when things do not follow the theme. Basically, any random clash is not very good. Or, any avi that looks like there was no effort put in.

If you have hit a creative block and need help with your avatar or if you just find it fun to hold contests, get a hold of me and you can run a mini contest. Yes, you will have to provide the prize XD

Cabbage Coitus Contest:
Judges may take part in my contest.
I would like the contest to end on my birthday which is the 18th of January.
I will give away 10k.
I would like the avatar to be kickass with the limit being 750k. I love Sour Tsundere, Princess of Swords, Queen Anne's Lace, Donna del Carnival and I like Piani-Ture, Queen of Death and Doki Doki Deito.
