Freedom Contest

Hey guys

I N T R O D U C T I O N
~NeverStopNature and I have decided to start a contest Please, read the rules and tell your friends. Everyone can join, because any type of mediums are allowed <33 You can make the entry traditionaly or digitaly, photographs are allowed. A N Y T H I N G, just please no literature. How can we give points for the coloring in literature?
Also, this is our first contest ... I don't know about ~NeverStopNature but I'm so excited

T H E M E
First thing's first - theme. Well, the theme in this contest is freedom. Now, before you say it's a hard theme, let me explain. Freedom can mean almost anything. You can draw a character that is enjoying life - it's connected to the theme, even though it's nothing special. See what I mean? You can also make a person that isn't free, or two opposites, one free and one that is a prisoner or something. You may make anything; original characters, animals, objects, fan art; Anything. Be creative!

M E D I A
As I said before, any type of medium but literature is allowed. Drawing, painting, photographs ...
Just make sure it has something to do with the theme – Freedom.

R U L E S
Theme. Your entry must have something to do with the theme of the contest – freedom.
Description. Write why you did what you did in the artist's comments – write a short description. Also add, that this is an entry for my contest.
Mature content, Yaoi & Yuri. IT IS ALLOWED. Just not 18+, because some of us wont be able to see the entry and I don't want to get killed
Coloring. The peace should be colored – if you want you don't have to, but coloring brings you extra points.
Background. If you make one you get extra points, but it's not a must. It can be a simple one This counts for everybody, if you photograph the background is automaticly there.
Entries. The maximum number of entries is 5. The entries have to be new: they have to be posted after the 5th September

ALSO – The entry must be done by you. No stealing.

The judges:

We need judges. Just note: If you judge then you can't enter the contest. If you want to be a judge please let us know
Maximum number of judges: 7 [including ~NeverStopNature and me, so five of you can volunteer]
max 4 more judges.

What do we judge? + bonus points

What we judge
Everything but the background will be judged from 0-10.

Theme – Your deviation must have something to do with the theme.
Creativity – How creative you were, what was your idea and such
Outside quality of the peace – This is based on how well you actually drew/photographed/painted … the picture
Colors – How well you colored the peace. If there's no coloring you don't get points. Note: If there are two peaces – one colored traditionally and one digitally none of theese have an advantage. So don't count on this: I color digitally – I win. It's the same for photographers - if the photo's colors fit, you get points.
Background – you get a point if you make a background. So it can be a simple one or a complicated one. This will be judged from 0-2. If the background is complicated and well done, you get 2 points. If it's just a normal background you get one point. If there's no background you get 0 points.
Collabs are allowed. If the collab wins, both that participate are winners.
+ Bonus points: You get bonus points if you advertise the contest!! So advertise in your journal/shoutbox/signature, anywhere, and then send one of us the proof – the link where you advertised our contest. You get bonus points

If you get a friend to join you get another bonus point. If that friend joins, he/she has to write in her/his artist's comments that you invited her/him.
