Easter Contest 2017

Post by mauwie »

This contest has ended, see results here!
Hello! Welcome to VirtuAdopt’s twenty-seventeen Easter Basket Decorating Contest!!

Adoptable

As the title suggests, this contest is grounded around decorating an Easter Basket. You may create your own Easter Basket or use an existing one and decorate to your aesthetic. An Easter Basket is used to hold decorative grass, chocolate, candy, toys and eggs. A completely decorated basket looks like this! You may decorate your own basket however you desire, as long as it relates to Pokémon in some way.

Contest Deadline:
May 2nd, 2017
One month from today


Rules:

• You must have your Username and the word VirtuAdopt written on a legible name tag in your entry
• You may not digitally add your (name tag) Username or VirtuAdopt to your entry
• Your entry should relate to Pokémon in some way
• You must decorate an easter basket in order to qualify
• You may edit your entry before the contest deadline
• You may not edit your entry after the contest deadline has past
• You do not have to fill your Easter Basket with items if you do not wish to do so
• You may use images of already existing official VirtuAdopt and Game Freak (official Pokémon) artwork
• You may not use other artwork unless it is your own
• No entries will be accepted after May 2nd, 2017, midnight EST


I will be looking for uniqueness, overall presentation, individual creativity and how aesthetically pleasing your basket is. You may draw, model, sculpt, weave, create, or even use fabrics to decorate your Pokémon Easter Basket. Whatever medium you desire!

---------------------------------------

So we can use whatever medium we want to decorate the basket, but does the basket have to be a wooden basket like in the sample, or can we also use a flower pot as a makeshift basket? (Or will this also be a minus so that we can't qualify for the top category anymore?)

AshtrayHeart, it doesn't have to be a wooden basket. As long as your entry has 'basket-like' qualities to it, this is fine. So basically anything that resembles a basket, has a base that can hold items--like the fake grass, eggs and candy--will work for this contest. I suppose a flowerpot could work as a makeshift basket, of course points will not be docked for this!

49ER, ahhh! well, I think these promos will still remain quite rare despite the contest. I can't imagine the amount of easter psyduck/torchic will reach above 60 (of course this depends on how many people enter).

So just to confirm, you do have to make a physical basket and take a picture. Or are drawn designs of baskets acceptable?

Pokemon Knight, you can just post the final pics ;p but i don't mind seeing work in progress shots either!
(in no way will not having WIP shots affect your final score)

No. It has to be an actual physical basket. You can draw pictures and apply them to your basket, but you have to use a real one.

Pokemon Knight, it doesn't have to be an easter basket, per se. You can use any kind of basket or anything that resembles a basket or a makeshift basket (like ashtrayheart suggested a flower pot). Basically anything that can hold fake coloured grass, candy, toys. Something that has the same qualities a basket has.

if you find something that you want to use and are unsure if it qualifies, feel free to ask!

I have a question too. Will some details not attached to the basket count too? Or only if they are attached.

xNozomix, you will be judged on your basket. So your entry will be judged on what you attach to your basket, not the items sitting around the basket.

I have a question, are we allowed to use game sprites of characters, icons, items, etc?
I'm not sure whether it falls under the Game Freak (official Pokémon) artwork since you need to rip them from games.
