since we have no entries uploaded, i am extending the deadline to November 1st!




Hello guys, DAN here! I got a message a while back about an idea for a contest, and i think it's got amazing potential. I think it's about time this group had a contest again. XD

*note: i know the poll said the majority wanted a lineart contest... but this idea stood out so much... i'll set up a lineart contest after this one's over. kay?


The Contest:

It's an AU (Alternate Universe) contest. to quote the person who suggested it: ~Oreramar
"Draw Cloud (and friends/enemies, if you like) in a wildly AU or Crossover world - for instance, as more culturally Japanese, or Nordic, or even Aztec if you really want to get weird with it."

There you have it.

Another example would be an AU in the world of FFVII itself, like an alternate timeline. I have one of those, and it's growing wildly popular. (no you can't use it) but here is the page for my AU: [link] ; the Headcannon (aka storyline explanation) is here: [link].


Criteria:

We will accept only original pieces for this. This includes Literature, Cosplay, HANDMADE figurines (aka no altered ones), HANDMADE plushies, and works of art.
NO PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES FROM THE MOVIE OR GAMES. PERIOD.


The Prizes:

1st Prize: A Feature on the group's page for a 3 months and 200 points; complex level tribal by *Elfarine

Winners HAVE to note her personally in order to obtain their prize. aka, "No note, no prize" policy.



Submission:

You should be able to find the folder that says "AU contest."  if you cannot submit to it, note me, =DarkAlchemistNinja and i'll take care of it.
Anything not submitted to the correct folder by the deadline will be disqualified.

Judging:

Judging criteria will fall around themes of creativity, integration of themes/character personalities in the image, and if it's simply an altered timeline, the plausibility and the details of the timeline.

Judging will be done by Poll; popular vote, if we get more than 10 entries, i may end up changing that, so anyone commenting that they wish to help judge will be noted and informed.

Deadline:

10-1-12 (October 1st)
