Greetings Everypony! Some of you may know me, others don't. I am Eight Star, general unicorn artist, fanfic moderator, linguist, and hardly interesting. What I've brought you here for is a competition. One that will test your artistic prowess... be it by image, sound, or literature. The Goal: To create a piece of art which most closely resembles the subject matter. Each month I will give an ambiguous subject, and you ponies will try to come up with something that resembles the subject. The simplest thing would be a drawing, digital or traditional, that is uploaded and then PM'd to me. However, I encourage musicians and writers to, if they feel so inspired, feel free to try their hoof at it. The Prize: One of many items. The main prize I had intended was that the winner got to plot out your own fan fiction and I would write it, while the runner ups would get spots in the fiction. Other than that, the winner can choose to, instead, receive a Steam Game valued up to $30, or they could order a pony-related commission that I would pay for, (up to $30,) or we could discuss any number of items. How Submissions Are Judged: Me and a team of two un-biased experts, (because they don't know you ponies,) will grade works on skill, calculated effort, and how well the submission matches the subject. Skill will account for up to 6 points, effort will account for up to 4 points, and submission creatively matching the subject will account for up to 10 points. So, ponies of any skill level are encouraged to enter, as long as you can get creative with the topic. While one pony may submit more than one item in a month, only the last item submitted will be judged for your placing. Submission Times & Methods: You have the option of sending your submission through PM, or if you're confident with everypony seeing it before the deadline, you may post it here. Submissions must have been started and finished during the month that the subject is in play. Submissions do not have to be specifically for this contest to be posted as long as they follow the time constraints. The deadline for each month is precisely the time that, in EST, the calendar month changes. Given the month-long deadline, leeway will only be given under very rare circumstances. February's Subject: The subject for the mushy month of February is: Love-Struck Extra points awarded if the submission is made on Hearts 'n' Hooves Day. Questions?
Yes... ALL MY LOVE, this will be very fun indeed! Can't start yet though, have to wait until thursday :I
Remember though, entries are accepted through to the end of the month, so no points results will be shown until then.
Cooool just found this site i like looking at other things Bronys/pegisisters (whatever you wanna call yourselfs) make storys, pics, vids, songs etc. etc. i feel like im getting off topic... anyway good luck guys and gals looking forward to seeing what you can do XD
Well, here's a late response. I had some trouble getting the info from my one judge, so I'm using somepony else for March. Anyway... This months judges are: Judge 1: The Nice Guy Judge 2: The Happy Mare Judge 3: The Critical Girl (Our Acting Simon Cowel) First to the table, we have Lollipop's Picture! Spoiler: Judge 1 No Comments Creativity: 8/10 Skill: 5/6 Effort: 4/4 Total: 17 Spoiler: Judge 2 No Comments Creativity: 10/10 Skill: 5/6 Effort: 4/4 Total: 19 Spoiler: Judge 3 This score is mostly for the turtle. Creativity: 3/10 Skill: 4/6 Effort: 2/4 Total: 9 Lollipop has been awarded a total of 45 points! Which is the same score she had last month. Weird! Second to the table we have Tech Tea's Artwork! Spoiler: Judge 1 Creativity: 7/10 Skill: 4/6 Effort: 3/4 Total: 14 Spoiler: Judge 2 No Comments Creativity: 6/10 Skill: 4/6 Effort: 3/4 Total: 13 Spoiler: Judge 3 Since I can't award negative points to Creativity... Creativity: 0/10 Skill: 3/6 Effort: 3/4 Total: 6 Tech Tea has received a total of 33 points! Last to the table is PennehTheCat's Artwork! Spoiler: Judge 1 Creativity: 5/10 Skill: 4/6 Effort: 2/4 Total: 11 Spoiler: Judge 2 No Comment Creativity: 4/10 Skill: 3/6 Effort: 2/4 Total: 9 Spoiler: Judge 3 Creativity: 1/10 Skill: 2/6 Effort: 1/4 Total: 4 PennehTheCat has achieved 24 points! Ahem... the views of the judges are not the views of me, Eight Star, and while Lolli actually achieved the same score she did last month, (which perplexes me completely,) I promise that it was not rigged as such. CONGRATULATIONS SICK LOLLIPOP Your victory was won, this time by quite a grand margin. We didn't have the diverse group we did in January, and we could really use more contestants before I get tired of giving Lollipop stuff. :derpe: However, she's been rather busy lately, so chances are, she won't be in the coming competition.
