I think, first, I'm going to see how much time these contest require. If they're low maintenance, I might be wrangled into organizing some art contests, too. ;)

You know, I'm not really sure. I think I found it simply by searching "Full Moon Wo Sagashite" and "avatar."

All entries should be PMed to me! I'm considering experimenting with having the contest judged by a poll, and I don't want the outcome of the contest being tainted by user popularity. For that reason, I request all entries be PMed to me, and I'll post them in the wallpaper contest forum.
The deadline is still midnight on February 14th. I can't want to see what you guys will turn in! Do your best, and have fun!

What size do you want us to send? (I'm assuming 1024x768 - I think that's the size we used in the past contests)

Ok .. two questions:

[1] Does the wallpaper have to feature original artwork (i.e. no cut and paste / edit of existing images of anime/manga/game stuff?)?

[2] What about American style comics related stuff? No? :)

That would be correct. ^___^

I'm not sure I completely understand the question, but I'll try my best to answer it First, I require that all walls submitted feature art work from games/anime/or manga. No original characters, please. :P If, when you say cut and paste, you're referring to cutting and pasting from other walls or something to that effect-- yes, don't steal work from someone else. But use images from preexisting series, please.

[2] What about American style comics related stuff? No? :)


Um, I'm going to say "no" on this one for now. If we have a great out cry for this kind of art to be accepted, I'll reconsider, but, for this contest atleast, I'm going to decline OEL material.

Are people who submit allowed to vote? Are you saying the voting starts at midnight on the 14th? If so, when will it end? It is ok that I cut/copy/pasted from normal images (not wallpapers) right?

Just wondering, Is there a reason that the thread for entry #5 is locked?

Lol, probably not, I'll go check it.

EDIT: OK, it should be fixed now.

Wow. I have NO idea how that happened. Sorry about that!

No problem, I am really glad to see this thing up and running again. Small glitchs just happen sometimes.

We'll be running on the honor system here. I want to request that those who entered, should they choose to vote, not vote for themselves. That's the big requirement. :P

Are you saying the voting starts at midnight on the 14th?

Oh, I hope I'll be that good. Unfortunately, chances are that it will be the fifteenth before I get the poll up. :P

If so, when will it end?

I haven't really decided yet. A few days would be my guess. I'm still sort of working this thing out.

Yeah, that's not a problem.

I'm not sure, Osaka is out running some errands at the moment, but I'm going to FORCE her to set it up the moment she gets home. ;)

When she does, I'm sure she'll let everyone know where it is.

She says she's still letting people check out the entries. I asked her last night and she said she'd probably get it up today. Not sure though.
