December Art & Photo Contest!

Lumi · 2014-12-05T20:53:34Z

http://i.imgur.com/nUsj97o.png Welcome to the December A&P Contest thread! This is the chance for you, quiet stalker of the Art & Photo forum, to shine brighter than Christmas lights on the Trump Tower. This year, we give you your December contest in two categories: Art...and Photography. Easy enough to guess, right? How To Enter How this will work is that you may submit three entries into each category. In both Art & Photography, we will divide into Beauty, Originality, and Holiday Spirit . You will have until December 25th to submit your entries. Up until that deadline, you may swap out your choice of entries, but as soon as the deadline strikes: 25 December at 12 midnight GMT, you may no longer edit your submissions. Submission Submit your entries into this thread. Try to keep them to one post so they're easier to keep track of. You have until 25 December at 12 midnight, GMT to submit and edit your pieces. After that mark, you may no longer edit. Judging Your entries will be judged on Beauty, Originality, and Holiday Spirit. The one that excels in each category alone will be an honorable mention. The submission with the highest total score, however, will be our winner. That goes for Art and Photography. This year, our judges are @Lumi, @Holofernes, @Omniclysm, and @AriaAdams. Awards All entries will receive a participation badge per category they submit to. Winners will receive a special commemorative badge. While your participation badges are: http://i.imgur.com/d2xRyhN.png http://i.imgur.com/VtgYJt9.png you can expect the victors' badges to have more gold embroidery or something more victor...ish.

1. Yes, as long as the photos belong to you, you can submit one from whatever time you wish.

2. It just means three for Art and three for Photography. I phrased it really poorly. xD

Submit three entries into each category as in Art and Photography? Or...?

Same

Self quoting is the key to sounding wise and all knowing.

Lumi explained in his last post c:

Altogether you can submit up to six entries - up to three that falls under Art and up to three that falls under Photography.
Each of those entries (whether it be only one or six of them) shall be judged on three criteria - Beauty, Originality and Holiday Spirit.

If your entry happens to excel in, say, Originality, but isn't so high on the lists for the other two, or some similar combination, you may get a honorable mention for that. Other than that, there is one final winner.

I think that sums it up

A pinged reminder that the deadline is fast-approaching! Have your submissions in before midnight on December 25th (meaning you can still submit on the 25th, but once it is the 26th in GMT, submissions are closed).

I didn't feel like categorizing my own work, so I hope we didn't have to. >.>

Ok, let's see if I can get this to work without turning on my laptop... (and I'm not sure I like how this camera works just yet, either). And added one more from tonight ^^

@unkown391625: It has to be original work, so, unfortunately, no.
