Welcome to my Free Art Contest! 3nodding
Welcome to Sokatoa's Free Art Contest! As you have probably already gathered, this is a FREE art contest.
RULES
Rule 1: ALL entries must be 500 x 500 or less or they will NOT be accepted (if you need help resizing please see FAQ). Also, no offense to anyone, I do not consider avatar edits art and I will not accept them :3 (an avatar edit is when you copy and paste an avatar into a picture and send it through some filters or alter it in some way).
Rule 2: No dissing other peoples art. There are nicer ways to tell them it sucks, and giving them pointers to improve, its called positive criticism :3, or, in other words, Don’t Flame. (and obey Gaia TOS)
Rule 3: I reserve the right to close the polls at any point (though I would not do so for just any reason). For more information about this rule please pm me.
Rule 4: nothing over pg13, along with that, I also reserve the right to not accept your entry if I find it unsuitable for the contest (if you have any questions about this, post it or pm me)
Rule 5: Only one entry per contestant per contest. :3
Rule 6: No quoting the front page or stretching my thread in any way.
Rule 7: Dont ask for art, beg for things or advertise IN MY THREAD!
Rule 8: Weighting the scales in any way during the voting is strictly prohibited. That includes, but not limited to, pming/profile commenting people telling them to vote for you, threading, muling, and friending. Anyone in violation of this rule WILL be disqualified.
Rule 9: You may reserve a spot in the contest, if you have previously entered.
Rule 10: You cannot reserve a spot for three consecutive times. You may still enter, but reservations are prohibited for three times in a row. Also, you can only enter four times consecutively.

Other than that its anyway, any how, anything! Any style is acceptable, and the form is up to you. If you can stick to the rules, the sky is the limit.
How this contest works is I collect art from people through out the course of 14 days and hold a poll once every two weeks. Each poll will stay open roughly 24 hours or so, so everyone can get the chance to vote. 3nodding (please see post two for more details on this)
contest theme will always be posted in post two.
Now if this is your first time reading this I would like to point out that this is a Free Art Contest all art submitted into this contest will be considered Freebie art! But just because its free doesn’t mean there aren’t prizes. There are prizes!
1st gets – 5k
2nd – 3k
and 3rd – 2k
And win or lose, all the contestants will have their art displayed for all too see! So, no matter if you get 2nd or 10th, your artwork will still be posted, and you will still get credit for being here.
When the voting starts I will pm all the contestants and let them know ahead of time, so they can come and bump the thread to keep the votes coming in! ^^ And Please, Please, PLEASE Make sure you have a trading pass before entering. I can't save money very well, and its hard for me to keep more than 10k on me at a time. gonk
I would like to say that the voting day might change if circumstances arise (like if I cant get online, or if the max # of entries (10) come in before Friday). If the date changes I will pm all the contestants ahead of time so no one is left out. :3
All art will be held in post 4 until the voting day.
Don’t feel like entering? Well, if that is the case, you can still get your name posted for all to see in the Bumpers list! all you have to do is post 5 consecutive times (i.e. 5 post in the same day), or show up and talk enough that I recognize you. For any questions regarding the thread please see the FAQ below.
