Christmas Contest 2011

Post by Dustydragon »

Hello Everyone!

We prepared another contest for you!
This is the Caring Christmas Musical Contest!

The contest ends December 26th, 2011 Midnight VA time (PDT), so make sure you post your entry before that!

This contest has two different projects that you may choose from.

Here are a few rules that you MUST follow when creating your entries, or you will be disqualified:
1) The entry must relate to Christmas and Pokemon/Virtuadopt in some way. If we can't see how it relates then you won't qualify.
2) Any art that you use has to be YOURS! This means your original art, though you may use VA art for this contest. Any art that is found to be copyrighted or not your own, will be disqualified and the user banned.
3) The Final Project photos you take MUST include your username and Virtuadopt somewhere in the photo. It CANNOT be digitally added afterwards!
4) If you have been banned from the forums at any point during the duration of the contest, you will not be allowed to enter.
5) You may only have ONE entry. Obviously you can do different things while planning your entry, but your final entry must be a single product. If it is an art project you can have multiple stages of development, as long as they all represent the same thing.

The following things aren't rules, but they are general tips for entry:
1) If you don't know something, ask us!
2) You have 3 weeks for the contest, so please use it. Rushed entries that look like there wasn't any time put in will not receive a good score.
3) Just a note while creating your project...Individual artworks will be judged higher than using something from VA.

Ok and now for the projects...

Project One - Caring
Design 2 Christmas Cards that you would send to 2 Virtuadopt users. Now whether or not the cards will be sent is between you and the user you made them for.
***Tell us who each of the cards are for and why you picked the design you did for them.***
You may have a different design for each person.
The size of the card does NOT matter, and it must be a folded card, not just a card front.

Project Two - musical MUST BE IN ENGLISH ;)
Write a Christmas song.
Now this can be a song that is already around like "Jingle Bells" BUT you must make all the words YOUR OWN and it must be about Christmas, Virtuadopt and Pokemon.
If you use a song that is already done but changing the words you MUST state what song it used to be.
It also doesn't have to be a Christmas song that you use, you can always turn a song like "Row, row, your boat" into a Christmas song about Virtuadopt Pokemon.

Please make sure all of your links work, and that all photos are uploaded somewhere that everyone can see.

Most of all - HAVE FUN!

>Entries go here<

3) The Final Project photos you take MUST include your name and Viruadopt somewhere in the photo.
Just to be absolutely sure, because in the last contest there was a misunderstanding...
Does the name have to be on every single photo I'll take or is it okay, if it's just on one photo?
Because in my opinion the name in the photo is kinda disturbing ^^'

Oh, and what a pity that it must be a folded card, otherwise I could finally use the photo print function of my new printer >D

Ok with the photos....it is the FINAL project I am more concerned about, tis why I put FINAL PROJECT....I find that the name with all the steps is redundant.

Dustydragon, and if we take several photos from the final project? I mean, if it is folded, then there are at least 2 sides that have to be showed; 3 if one also colors the back of the card. Does the name have to be there on every single photo? :)
(and I thought till now that the making-of-photos are just an addition from single users XD)

Anyway... I'm so looking forward to this <3 I would be happy about making a card for my dears (I think one already knows she'll get one >D) ... although the musical project is a challenge I would be glad to try out <3

Cyrrior, I also think we can only participate in one... (imagine joining both and being great at both so you get normal and shiny! That would be great! XDD)

Dustydragon, okay, but what if we take more than 1 photo of our final project (since we shall make 2 cards), maybe from different angles?
Haha, okay a-chan already asked that question :>

And is it also ok, if we mention 'virtuadopt' and our 'username' in the text of our card?
Like 'Dear User X, Merry Christmas! I hope you're doing fine and enjoy your holidays. See you on virtuadopt soon! Sincerely, AshtrayHeart'

GreenBerry, project can be in your native language, but please translate below ;)

AshtrayHeart, both final projects should have the name and virtuadopt, but yes it can be on the project but I would like to see the extra to ;)

But thanks for clearing that up :3
