I was just looking at all the other contests here, and they're all pre-set. As in, you have to draw what they ask.

I don't think that's good.

Because it doesn't allow people to be original. Or to draw what they want. It sets limits.

And I think that's what sets my contest apart. And makes it better.

Because I don't require you to draw certain stuff.

So I'd appreciate donations, contestants, or just bumping.



I really want to host an art contest with a prize and everything, but I need donations, because I'm not using my quest money. Donators will be listed and thanked and will also be on the board of judges if they want.

With that out of the way...

RULES:

1. No porn
2. Don't flame other peoples art. It takes courage to post your art online.
3. Only constructive criticism is allowed. That goes for me, the judges, the contestants, and anyone and everyone inbetween. You don't have to say you like it if you don't- just don't comment if you don't. It's that simple.
4. Try to make sure your images aren't huge. And I suggest (only suggest) that you put a signature of some form on it somewhere so people cannot steal it.
5. Use your own art. No plagearizing!

FAQ:

1: How do I know when it's my turn to compete?
A: I'll PM you and your competetor to let you both know when you're up.

2: How much is the prize worth?
A: I'm not sure yet. I'll probably shoot for 2k.

3: What if I want to be a judge, but also want to compete?
A: That's perfectly fine! You're more than allowed to do that. You just can't judge your own art.

4: Do I have to use tinypic.com?
A: No! You definitely do not have to use tinypic! That's just my way of supporting a site that I really really like. Use whatever works best for you! As long as the image shows and you send me a URL, it's all good.

Any more questions that I haven't answered? Ask them! I'll put them up here for other people, too. I didn't answer very many questions. But this is my first art contest (I've never even competed in one before) so it's probably going to have some glitches at first before I fix it up! Just bare with me and know that it will get better!

So, it would be more fun for people to join a place where they can come up with their own art for competition. Wouldn't it? Shouldn't it? ISN'T it? I mean, really! So I really don't understand why no-one is coming. It's not like I'm even charging people to join!

Yami_Kyuuketsuki
I know! You can come here for FREE and get do do your own art! >.< God, people these days do not know a good deal when they see one!

IFonlyTHEYcouldSEE
Really.

Free. Original. Fun.

And you get gold if you win and constructive criticism if you don't. Either way, you win. Gold for buying stuff, contructive criticism to help you improve. No flames. I'll report anyone that does. So you really have nothing to lose.

Everyone here can be a winner <3

And you can join as many times as you want.

anything below here is chatting, bumping, or comments on the art. As long as you follow the rules and don't say anything too profain, it's okay.

lo.

I guess people like the kind of contests where you're told what to draw.

Hm...maybe. ^-^
I think that's stupid, though. Because it stumps creativity!
