-Format-
The format of your art is optional to what you want to do. You can do it in the format of a character sheet, just a simple drawing with your character posing, or actually draw out a scene and make it more than just a picture presenting your character, make it a piece of art, a scene from a story. Do what you feel most comfortable with, or try something you aren't used to, It's up to you!

Be Creative

-Submitting an Entry-
You must send your submission in a Note, which must look like this -

Subject : Contest

Entry : (link)
Medium : (Traditional Art or Digital Art/ Literature)

You must "note" me, no comments on my main page/journal entries/artwork linking me to your entry, be polite! This just keeps things organized for everyone.

Once you've sent me your entry, be it art or story, I will evaluate your entry to make sure it follows the rules I have listed. If so, then it will be officially accepted. If it does not comply with the rules, I will turn it down.

The Judges
,
*Third position is still open, note me if interested*

Once the contest has ended we will begin judging each entry on a number of things present in your entries.

:Art:
Originality : The overall originality of the Character and the Art she is present in.
Design : The overall design of the Character and the Art she is present in.
Creativity : How Creative the Character and the Art is.
Personality : The Personality of the Character.

:Writing:
Originality : The overall originality of the Character and the Story she is present in.
Form : The overall form of the way the Story is written and how the Character presents herself in it.
Creativity : How Creative the Character and the Story is.
Personality : The Personality of the Character.

Each category will be given a rating from 1-10, Judges will be fair, unbiased, and objective. Art will be judged separately from Writing, as Writing has it's own placement in the contest. Once all entries have been submitted and the contest over, I will inform the Judges on what needs to be done for Judging. Since there "might" be a large amount of entries we may have to do this in two "rounds".

Contestants and Entries will be posted in the Contest Journal Entry : [link]

Have Fun!
