Contest held by ~optimisticxpessimist

What do we do?

Ok, so i know this contest looks complicated, but it's not lol.
You have several categories you can choose to enter, making sure you only submit one entry per category.
The categories are:

Anime - A love theme
Lyric Illustration - Something like [link]
Fakemon - A "balance" theme
Photography - A "from dawn to dusk" theme

Each category has it's own prizes. And there's a hell of a lot of them :U
Also, each category will be judged on different things.

Be sure to read >> [link] << to find out more!!

What are the guildlines?

-NO HENTAI, ECCHI, YAOI, OR YURI

-no literature in any category (sorry but that will slow down judging a lot lol)

-no stealing (obviously)

-must be COMPLETELY by you. this rules out coloring (wtf? why would anyone even think of that?), vectoring, collabs etc etc. if any part isn't by you, you're done and that entry is disqualified.

-must be made for this contest. anything submitted before the start date cant be entered. also include in the description that its for this contest

-no mature warnings can be necessary

-no hating on anyone else's entry. if anyone does this to you, please tell me so that i can disqualify them

-judges may enter, but may not judge their own entry. judging will be split so that this is avoided.

-each person may enter ONE ENTRY PER CATEGORY

OH AND NEW DEVIATIONS ONLY >:U

How do we submit our entry?

Just send ~optimisticxpessimist a note with the headline "Contest"
and don't forget to include your link to your entry in the note.
You can also ask any questions within that note if needed~ :3
