“Beauty is only skin deep ~”

This is a motto that many people live by. A statement that shows everyone that inside, anyone (or anything) can be beautiful in its own unique and special way. So why can’t that go for our own little OCs too? Well I think we need to show the world just how beautiful all our creations can be and that is why I have decided to hold the (possibly annual) Miss OC Pageant. Now, this is a bit off the path from traditional contests so those interested in taking part should most certainly read onward.

Anyone interested in prize donation or applying to be a judge should also keep on reading ~

The Miss OC (Original Character) Pageant is a contest made especially for female OCs to show just how lovely they can be. These can be anything from humans to creatures of unknown origins so long as they are your own character and follow the rules set below. This contest will be set up into a number of sections that will each test an artist’s skill to show and do their character as much justice as possible. For each section, a few will be eliminated until we are left with 2 runner-ups and our crowned Miss OC.
These parts are divided as followed.

~ --------------------------------- ~

Poise ~ Also referred to as a pageant’s “First Impression,” this part of the pageant will be used to get everyone started and show all the participating characters. For this round, none shall be eliminated, but it will count widely for an overall score if you hope to win a special mention.

Evening Gown ~ Basically what it says, this will be to judge creativity on the part of the artist and how they manage to incorporate a sense of style to their OC.

Talent ~ Also a basic, you will have to draw your OC doing something they’re good at. Be it singing, dancing, fall down stairs, everything is fair game.

Swimsuit ~ Drawing an OC in some form of swimwear is a big one. Be it cute or hot, use your imagination.

Questionnaire ~ This one is a bit more complicated than the others for it will need 2 things. A picture of your OC in their favorite place as well as the answers to a Questionnaire that shall be given to those who make it to this round.

~ ---------------------------------- ~

Now, the more fun part of this is, with the permission of all those participating, I may just put the events of this pageant into a little comic leading us up to the crowning of our lovely Miss OC.
Hosted by the lovely Pearl Fection, this entire contest will be made for the purpose of getting everyone’s Ocs out to the world!

Sounds fun, right?
Well, let’s go over the rules.

1. The OC must be original. Use of a character that is not yours will result in disqualification.

2. Your OC must also be female. It’s not called the MISS OC Pageant for nothing. Though…I suppose I may accept drag characters as well IF they are convincing.

3. All media’s of visual art are fair game so long as they follow the guidelines.

4. You may enter only two OCs in the pageant. It helps make things easier on me and helps keep everything fair ~

5. A number of contestants will be eliminated in each (aside from Poise) section. The number will depend on the turn out so TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

For this part, you only need to draw your OC in her pageant dress with a little information about them. Basically just where they come from, what they do, their interests, etc. Their dress can be in any style you like so use your imagination!
