For those just tuning in, I'm starting up an art contest. While I haven't posted pics of all the prizes, I did post some of them already. They'll be TWO WINNERS: the grand prize winner and runner-up Because some of my prizes were specifically gear toward one gender, here's what you may get, depending if you're boy or girl :

All righty, that's that. just note that these prizes may/may not change. I'll make sure to give you guys an update if that occurs. Also, jsut to clarify, there will only be TWO WINNERS. I know it may look like four, but I've no idea how far you guys live or the shipping costs. Considering the merch is pretty big (such as hat and bag), it's a lotta money, so please understand why I've only limited to two winners. I listed boy and girl prizes jsut in case there is the event that a FEMALE wins the grand prize while a MALE wins the runner-up slot. Also, buttons will be given at randomly because, unlike the keychains, my buttons have a limitied set of designs on them. basically, anything left over from San Japan will be up for grabs. I'll let the winners know which buttons are available and let them choose from there.

Okay, so for those learning of this contest and wanting to participate, here's some Q&A love. I've also included the contest deadline. So here goes:

Who can enter?
Anyone can enter.

What should draw/do?
The theme is basically about your love/intepretation of Seth, my OC. Just awhile ago I posted a journal dedicated to info on Seth. if you're stuck on ideas Click HERE to read up on some Seth facts to get you started. You can also check out the Seth Gallery Section too! However, this doesn't mean you have to reflect the artwork based on this info or the same clothes he wears in my work. it's jsut to get you started. The whole reason why I started this contest in the first place is because I'm more excited by how others interpet this character.


Moving on... whether it's girl-Seth or boy-Seth or perhaps both, you can protray Seth any way you want! Be creative! Be colorful! Be BOLD! O_O You can include your own beloved characters in the pic too, either hooking up with Seth or just having a fun time with Seth. XD The time and setting is also entirely up to you. So the atmosphere can be either sci-fish, steampunk, goth, chibi-cutsey, whatever. Seth is a pretty flamboyant chameleon so he/she can adapt to any environment.

And this doesn't have to be a Seth drawing! Anything, and I mean ANYTHING can be submitted. If you do photomanips, sculpture, stamp art, or some other art, then that can be submitted! So yeah, get cracking and go find photos in Istock or other sources of men/women/places/etc that reminds you of Seth. But remember, give proper credit to the person/place/thing if you're using any sources. Also, I'd rather you not just link me a pic of someone and say that reminds you of Seth. Do something creative with that pic!

How many entries can i submit?
I doubt anyone will draw more than one piece, lol, but if you do, there is no limit. Should those entries recieve the highest score by voters, then you'll get both prizes.

BTW, if you've done a Seth drawing before, whether as an art trade or gift, you're free to submit that work.

Any restrictions?
I personally don't care for the type of rating you plan on making it. However, just be mindful that it'll be the people voting via poll that determines who gets the prizes. These people may be under the age and won't be unable to to vote for your entry so please take that into account. In posting the entries, I'll be including a mature rated warning if the work has a sexual theme. And while I could care less if there's some boob action going on, DA will probably grind my ass if I don't give underaged folks a heads-up. So, in the end, you can do the piece in any rating you want. Just be mindful of the voters voting for it.

About the only rule there is is to include the 'I Love Seth', or some other colorful variation of that, as the title of your entry. That's about it.

When does this contest begin? When can I begin?
it starts now. And because i posted this journal pretty late in the game, it will end on the last day of SEPTEMBER. That oughta give you newbies or busy-bees time to submit your work.

When will this end?
Once the contest ends on the last day of September, the entire month of October will be used to give voters a chance to determine the two winners. I'll create a poll and include all the entries submitted. Then it's a matter of the how many votes you get. And yes, you can vote for yourself. Since Halloween is my awesome holiday of the year, the WINNER and RUNNER-UP will be announced on October 31st!

If you have any questions about Seth or this contest then post those questions here. i'm sure people will have the same questions. Lastly, I created a module in my page, entitled "Seth Contest". That's where all the submissions will be placed.
