Year-Long Tektek Avatar Contest

Welcome to the Year-Long Tektek Avatar Contest. As we all know what is a tektek avatar, it's where we use the Tektek's Dream Avatar to create the avatar with the items we can't afford. So what's the different between this contest and the previous Avatar contests the guild host? Well, this contest is a non-holiday event and it's a year-long (hence the name). This contest has only one theme, but it will be different every month. Curious what the theme is? Well, let's start. 3nodding

Theme

As stated in the introduction, this contest has only one theme, but different as each month passes. So what sort of theme fit in that description? Well, that's very simple. The theme for this contest is Monthly Collectibles. With each month passes, we get new MC items. And since we have tons of Monthly Collectibles, I will be listing down the MC, based by the month they appeared.



How to Enter
Interest to participate, but don't know how? No need to worry. It's very simple and easy. All you have to do is create an avatar from Tektek's Dream Avatar with the current theme items and once done, PM me your entry under the title "Year-Long Tektek Avatar Contest." Participation will be opened in the beginning of the month and ends at the 20th day. Once participation is over, voting poll will be opened and will end at the end of the month. Due to the voting setting in Gaia, only ten contestants are allowed to participate. So it's a first comes, first serves.

What's this? No entry fee? You got that right. There is no entry fee for this contest. So no need to build up your gold just to enter.

Prizes will be given to the best entry who has the most votes. First prize is 20k, second is 10k, third is 5k, and those who enter receive 500 gold.


Rules

Now what kind of contest this be without rules? Here are some of the rules you need to follow when participating:

No Cash Shop items - As much as everyone wants to make an excellent avatar, we can't have Cash Shop items (ie: RIG, CI, EI, REI, etc) in this contest. The theme is Monthly Collectibles and we don't want it to be overshadowed by other CS items.
Gold Shop and Event items are allowed - Gold Shop and event items are allowed to be used since those don't overshadow the theme of the contest. In addition, we don't want our entry to be naked. >>
You can use the same item twice - The maximum number to use the same item (item that has multiple poses) is two. Can't be more than three. Only two. I'm aware that the later MC has complete set of the outfit and it seems too easy and unfair if you use all the complete set to enter.
Using Dream Free is allowed - If there's a layer you want to fix on your entry, you can use the Dream Free to fix it.
Must send me the link of your entry - This is very important as I like to see if you're following the rules or not. When you finish your entry, you need to send me the link so I can see the list of items you use. That way, I can be sure that you didn't use CS items as well as using the MC items.



Now that we're done with the theme, entry, and rules, here is the list of the current theme:

None. It's done.

Questions and Answers

Have a question you need to ask? Well, look no further. Here is a list of questions where they're answered. If you don't see the question you're looking for, feel free to post or PM me about it.



What is Tektek?
Tektek is a fanmade website that provide the resource for GaiaOnline. It lists down the items appearing in Gaia as well as providing us with profile theme, post formatting setting, and avatar simulator.

What are Monthly Collectibles?
Monthly Collectibles, also known as Thank You items or Donation items, are items created as Thank You gifts to those who donate their money to support Gaia. The items are created differently as each month passes.

How do I enter?
Simple. Just create your entry from Tektek's Dream Avatar and submit it to me under the title "Year-Long Tektek Avatar Contest."

Do I have to use ALL the items listed?
No. You can use some of the items from the list and enter. You don't need to use all the items unless you want to. However, if you are planning to use the same item, the maximum is 2.

Why is the maximum to use the same item 2? I want to use all the poses from the same item.
... You've kinda just answered your own question. Some MC items have a complete set that makes it too easy to finish and it's unfair to those who enter. Not to mention, it's also lazy when using a complete set. We want to see how creative you can be to create.

Why can't I use the Cash Shop items? I want to make my entry awesome.
As stated before, the theme of the contest is Monthly Collectibles. Therefore, we want to focus on the theme. Using Cash Shop items, no matter how much they will help to make your avatar awesome and win a chance, will overshadow the theme of the contest.

Aren't Monthly Collectibles CS items too? You're kinda contradicting your own rules...
While it is true that Monthly Collectibles are Cash Shop items, they were originally made as Thank You/Donation items before the Cash Shop made its debut.

In addition, shut up. The theme is Monthly Collectibles. Not to mention, it's my contest, so I get to decide what's going on. :/

There's an item I want to use. It's not a CS item, but it's not a gold shop and event item too. Can I use it?
If you're referring to free grant items (items that obtain through links, quests, watching videos, and voting), then yes, you can use it.

Are you entering the contest?
As much as I want to use my creativity to see how well I can do, sadly I'm not. This is because A) I'm hosting the contest and B) it will be unfair to those who enter if I see all their entries and try to change my entry to make it more better (which I don't do that.)

Can we use hairs/wigs that are equipped to Sainte Ciel: Agape scissor pose?
Although the Sainte Ciel Agape is a Cash Shop item, you can use the hairs or wigs that have the SC:A scissor pose as long as the hairs/wigs are Gold Shop/Monthly Collectibles/Event items/Freebies. This is because the SC:A scissor pose gives the focus toward the hairstyles than the item itself (aka: Sainte Ciel) as well as giving the hairs/wigs shorter version or "hidden version" of the hairstyles.

I may give this a go. Any MC that's been released so far, right? Or is it just the MC's from January?

MC from January except for this year January (since it's barely came out today). The MCs will go according to the month since this is a year long contest.
