~~ CONTEST DETAILS ~~
When is the contest and what is it about about?:
Starting this week, we'll be taking suggestions for themes to put on our chalkboard wall in the office! Each Friday, we'll pick a new design suggested by a member of the Gaia community and try our best to recreate your vision on our wall! Just think of it - Gaia artists and staff will bring your vision to life with chalk! At least we'll try our best to capture your idea and, well, chalkify it!
That sounds great! What are the prizes???:
It IS great - great fun! And speaking of great, if your idea is selected, you'll win a cool 100,000 gold and have your idea drawn on our wall. Perhaps we can even draw your username on the board!
~~ CONTEST RULES & GUIDELINES ~~
I really want to enter - HOW DO I ENTER?!?!:
Great question! Entering this contest is really simple - you simply post your theme suggestion in this thread. Suggestions should be posted in the following format for ease of review:
a) Username
b) Theme Idea
c) Brief description of your vision
Here is what a sample entry should look like:
Quote:
a) siskataya
b) Robots in Space
c) I'd love to see a mural of robots flying around space in crazy spaceships. There should be planets and stars all around them, and they should be fending off attacks from flying space rhinos and chickens. There should also be random pandas - everyone loves pandas!
How many times can I post theme suggestions each week?:
Enter as many times as you like!
I am not from the USA - can I still enter the contests?:
Sure you can, as long as your country allows you to enter contests like this! Everyone is welcome to suggest a theme.
How will the winners be chosen?:
Winners will be chosen at random - we'll just pick a suggestion that we feel is great! This can be because we think it is funny, touching, inspiring, etc. As long as the idea is a great one, it's game!
How will the winners be notified?:
If you are a winner, I (siskataya) will send you a private message on Gaia letting you know you won that week's contest! These will probably be sent out on Monday
biggrin
What if two entries are the same - how will you decide who wins?:
While we suspect this won't happen given the level of theme detail we requested, if two entries are so similar that they are conceivably the "same" and this theme is a winning theme, we will pick the first one posted in the thread. Better get your good ideas in quick!
biggrin
Are any suggestions off-limits?:
Yes - no inappropriate suggestions! All themes suggested must be appropriate for the Gaia community. No suggesting things that are violations of our Terms of Service. Making such a suggestion will net you a warning for trolling or other action against your account.
Will this contest ever end?:
We aren't anticipating it will end, but you never know - down the line it is possible it could come to a close. Consider this a friendly heads-up just in case! XD
