Artwork Contests Subforum Rules
Welcome to the Artwork Contest Subforum! In this section you are allowed to post artwork competitions, whether based on pixel art, writing or music. Everything addressing the ER Official Contests will be housed in this section too.
Creating a Contest
Create a set of rules that members will have to follow (it would also be a good idea to provide a link to the Forum Rules). Contest hosts are responsible for including specific guidelines regarding the contest. These include:
-What is the contest about?
-When and how long is the contest running for? (time frame, start and finish dates, etc).
-How do members enter? Is there a form?
--What are the rules and guidelines?
Include a list of entrants on the first post (update regularly).
-Judging; will there we members picked to be judges? How? How will the artwork be judged?
-Include information about prizes or incentives.
-Scoreboard.
Host one contest at a time.
Contests that do not follow the Contests rules will be deleted and the member will be warned. Excessive posting without following rules will result in you losing your ability to post in this section. You will be required to mention which moderator approved your contest.
Entering a Contest
Ensure that you are entering your own artwork. Any artwork proven to be stolen will be dealt with in relation to the General Artwork Guidelines. Ensure to follow the original poster’s rules and enter as they have mentioned.
Ending a Contest
Once the contest is finished and the thread is no longer needed to be open, send a moderator a private message, asking for your topic to be locked. The contest host is also required to post in their own thread, stating that their contest is finished.
Any contest rule questions should be asked here.
