We have made a number of changes to this Artwork and Creations forum.

We have closed irrelevant contests such as The Cartoon Contest, The Animal Contest, The Lyric Contest, The T-Shirt Contest, Icon Inspirations and Avatar Challenges.

The most popular contests have been archived into their own threads, so they are now easier to find:

Avatar Contest Archive

LIMS Archive

One on One Archive

When the next round is finished, it will be moved to one of the above Archives.

Now, this is how the contests will run from now on:

A suggestion was made by Jess(sevenpuddings) which was very favourably received by the members, so we have decided to go ahead with that.

We need a single post with suggestions for all Avatar Competitions, and when someone has used a suggested theme, it will get crossed off the list, until all have been used up. This way all the different themes which people want can have an equal shot, and there will be a mixture of things. Once the listed themes have all been used we can either resume with the same themes, or new ones can be added. This can be found HERE

Voting schedule for Avatar Contest:

Monday: Contest goes up

Thursday/Friday: Entries must be in

Voting: Saturday through to Sunday

Avatar Contest Rules/Guidelines

- All avatars entered into the contest must be 120 x 120 pixels in size.

- Only one entry is permitted for every member to each new contest.

- The winner of the previous contest gets to host the next contest, including choosing the theme/topic for the next one as well as selecting a closing date for the entries to be received by. Once they select a closing date & time the host must stick to it. They must only post the new contest up for voting after this point in time, once the deadline has been reached.

- All avatars submitted as entries in the Avatar Contest should remain anonymous until voting for the contest has ended. Entrants must not use or publish their avatar contest entry anywhere else prior to the results being announced. This includes their own artwork thread, the random artwork thread, in any other thread on BttB, as well as on other sites/forums on the Internet. Any icons/avatars that are found used or posted somewhere else prior to the results of the contest being announced will be disqualified.

- After receiving all entries, hosts must re-upload all the icons/avatars to your own image hosting site (Photobucket, Imageshack etc), before posting the contest up for voting. Copying the links people send to you still counts as hotlinking. Therefore don’t do it. It also leads to loss of the anonymity of the entries as a lot of members that enter will have uploaded their entries to their own Photobucket account where they also post all their other artwork.

- Members that have entered the contest are still able to vote for other entries, but obviously they cannot vote for their own entry. If an entrant does so then the host must discount that vote.

- Only votes that have been clearly stated, with reasoning, in the individual thread opened for each new contest will be counted. Members must vote for the entry they think is best artistically/creatively and not for the character(s) that feature on the icon/avatar. Votes via PM’s, emails, MSN etc. are not permitted. This ensures that no doubt can be cast on the fairness of the voting within each contest.

Lately there has been some confusion over the duties involved when hosting the Avatar Contest, as well as entrants in to the contest not being aware of the rules. Therefore we have decided to post a set of clearly defined rules/guidelines to be followed for all Avatar Contest. Therefore could everyone please read them carefully and use them as a guideline when hosting/entering. Should everyone follow them correctly then we will not encounter any problems with the Avatar Contest in the future.

Your co-operation on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

On behalf of the BttB staff,

Anaya (Librarian)

Please note that there is an addition to the Avatar Contest Rules/Guidelines below:

- No posts of any kind that may identify the creators of avatars should be posted in the Avatar Discussion thread before the judging.

Would the host of each new Avatar Contest please make sure that they include this rule when posting the next contest, thanks.
