GFX Contests Discussion

GFX CONTESTS DISCUSSION

It's early in the Site, but I'm thinking about the future mainly, AND that future will include some GFX Events and Contests.


This will be the thread to discuss FUTURE ideas for contests, ALL about showing off your GFX skills, and trying to earn GFX Badges:



This is ALSO one of the Badges that you could very well win MULTIPLE of, depending on the regularity of GFX contest; such as: SIG Contests, Avatar Contests, Banner Contests, and Theme Contests.


The FIRST event, depending on who all is here, and who'd wanna get involved, might start as early as next week.
(If you want to do the event SOONER rather than LATER, then get the word out about the site!)


Feel free to discuss these ideas, and more on the GFX Contests.

I'm thinking of a Christmas GFX Contest. Who'd be interested??

And if you have an idea for the contest, post it here.

The only thing with me and GFX events are the facts that one I'm not very good at it and two it's really time consuming and I don't have much time as it is.

[FyreeTSG]

well, enter them if you want they're not mandatory--

and I don't need everyone to enter, but I'd like to have GFX Contest be a bit more "competitive" and fuller. I try to give a good amount of time between Contest Start--entry submissions--and Voting...

and I DO give people more time if they need it

I think we should have more Gfx contest in 2014. These contests should vary between fan-art and just plain random work. I think it would be cool to have a contest to just make a random Gfx and not a set subject. This was just an idea and I wont be upset if this idea doesent get used.

Well, the FIRST GFX Contest of 2014 will be next week---

Anyone want something SPECIFIC, like a theme or style? OR Should it be 100% random??

Why not have 2 a month?
1 for deciding each months site theme.
1 random.

This could help keep things a little more active here.

I'd love to have as many events as possible, but with past GFX Contests(as well as other events)seemingly taking forever to get people involved/participating/entering--I don't know if there'd be much reason to do 2 GFX contests a month...

Like most things here, to have any sort of successful events, we need more than a few people involved in each event. Ideally I'd like to have 4-5 people enter each Event/Contest, especially GFX Contests, so there's a wider pool to vote on, and it's not just a 1-on-1 contest(which bore/annoy me).

Bring us MORE members, particularly those who like making GFX, or like entering Contests in general, AND then I'll open things up more, and have a couple contests monthly...


THIS Months Contest will start on Sunday, and if people have ideas for that one(and if that happens to be a bit more successful, and people WANT to do more of them, I'll consider expanding next month)---where was I....Oh, if you want something specific/special for THIS MONTH'S Contest, post it here/PM me.

ANYONE up for another GFX contest??

[Shaddy]

So, just a little announcement:
I will be hosting future GFX contests!
The rules will remain the same, and the rewards as well. However, i may rethink the current badge in place.

This also means that i will no longer (after the current one i'm in) be entering my art in the contests.

However, if no one enters the contest at all, (in case of a banner contest) i will use my art.
Of course, if only one person enters that contest, and no one else until the deadline, they will automatically win.

So, i am looking forward to a great GFX contest season!
