INTRODUCING THE WEEKLY ANTHRO CHALLENGE
Each week the anthro community is invited to participate in a weekly challenge designed to allow anthro artists to exercise their imaginations based on a weekly theme. Please visit th IamAnthro Chat-Room, it is the anthro gallery's official chat-room and also the hub for this event.

This week's theme is MUSIC, chosen by =Syberwolf.
_{"Music: an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color."}

CHALLENGE RULES
Please keep all entries PG-13, this means no adult content whatsoever.
Each entry must follow the weekly theme posted.
All entries must feature anthro characters.
Please make sure each submission is entered on time!
_{Rules will also stay posted at this location as well. Special thanks to :doberfree:, who will be overseeing the bulk of this contest.}

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY

2.) Thereafter, please send a note labeled "Contest Submission" to ~DoberFree.
_{~DoberFree will be offering her account as the headquarters for the Anthro Weekly Challenge, in addition to the IamAnthro Chat-room where contestants can discuss their entries. (Our judges will also frequent the chat room so you can get to know them.)}

THIS WEEK'S JUDGES
=ShadowToxin, ~DoberFree, and myself (^cooley)

HOW JUDGING WORKS
Judging is based on individual creativity, not necessarily who can draw the best. There will be a rotating panel of judges for each week, with four teams of judges every month. Their schedule is as follows:
1st Week of the Month: =ShadowToxin & ~DoberFree
2nd Week of the Month: ^PurpelBlur & =Syberwolf
3rd Week of the Month: *Thumper-X & ~t-e-s
4th Week of the Month: *Foxfeather248 & ~nashoba-hostina
Either ^skifi or I will assist in judging every week depending on our schedules.

GET IN ON THE ACTION
This is a challenge built for the community, by the community. Visitors of the IamAnthro Chat-Room (the official chat-room of the anthro gallery), came up with the idea and it is in this room where you'll be able to find all the information and make suggestions for this event, as well as future events for the anthro community. Your Anthro Gallery Directors, ^skifi and I are here to oversee the project but it's you all who are in charge!

HOW TO VOLUNTEER
If you are interested in volunteering as a judge, advertiser, or sponsor for the Weekly Anthro Event, please swing by the IamAnthro Chat-Room to speak with our current volunteers, ^skifi or I.
