~v*v~~v*v~

Obenkaben, ribonflaben.
This is my first Contest. I’m holding it as a spring/summer celebration type thing as well as for my fifteenth birthday. I am very excited and I hope it will be enjoyable for the contestants. So, let’s get started!

DUE DATE: All Entries are due on August 19th, 2005. Please note that the Deadline is rather flexible and can be altered if necessary.

I've decided to give an the Contest an extension. I'll be attending Upward Bound as well as another camp. So that'll give you all some more time to do your Entries and meke them look prettyful. Don't worry though, I'll still be here to comment, fav, and add all of the contestants entries to the Entries list at the bottom of this journal entry. Thank you for your attention!

MEDIUM: There aren’t any restrictions on the Medium you use for your entry. You may use pencil, pen, marker, pastel, your computer, crayon, etc.

JUDGING: To be fair, I will not be judging the Entries. Instead, 10 Judges will be selected. Five of them will be from deviantART while the others will be close friends/family/teachers from real life. Judges are not allowed to enter the contest.
~ The Entries will NOT be judged on the Contestant’s artistic advancements or skill. To make this contest fair, the entries will be judged on the EFFORT put into the piece as well as CREATIVITY

Judges 10 of 10 have been chosen
deviantART Judges: 4 of 5





Other Judges: 5 of 5

Please be sure to note or e-mail me when your Entry has complete!

OBJECTIVE/THEME

Category One:
To draw one of my characters doing something fun and spring-y or birthday-oriented. It can be anything you wish, except for porn, sexual behaviour, or anything of that sort. (see Rule 3)

Category Two:
Draw my persona, Ookami/Taiga to the Lyrics of "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. (That's the song I'm currently obsessed with lol) If you choose to enter in this Category, you must somehow incorperate the lyrics into the Entry.

RULES
1.) HAVE FUN!
2.) Contestants may have up to two Entries per category.
3.) There is to be no porn, sexual behavior, harassment, or any sexually themed entries, murder, suicide, drug use/abuse, homosexuality, etc., etc. However, I will accept some nudity (were/anthro ONLY) as long as it isn’t anything nasty as well as some blood/gore as long as it has to do with wolfish behavior. (Eating, hunting, etc.) But as I stated before, nothing too excessive.
