Discuss Elfwood News Entry: Elfwood Art Contest: Tricks

By :-) Monica1978 at Wed Sep 30 20:23:52 2009
Every year we see lots of Halloween-themed art submitted to Elfwood around the end of October and it seems a good idea to run a small art contest for Halloween. So this is the challenge: submit a picture that best captures either the day's traditional roots or the more modern interpretation of the holiday.

Competition requirements.

  • You have to be a publishing artist in Elfwood.
  • The artist and artwork has to comply with existing Elfwood rules and be published in the artist's gallery before the contest ends.
  • Only one (1) entry per participant.
  • The entry has to fall within the the contest theme, pictures not related to the announced theme will not be considered.
  • The submitted image should have been created recently - not over a year ago; images created specifically for the contest will be given particular consideration.


    • Other information.

  • Competition closes on 1 November 2009.
  • Work will be judged by a panel of Elfwood staff and prominent EW published members on the basis of originality as well as technical skill.
  • Feel free to use any visual medium.
  • Prizes will be awarded to the winner and a few other people. Aside from the top prize, the exact number and nature of prizes will remain undisclosed - possibly until the end of the contest (that's the tricky bit), roumor has it that more than the 3 top people will end up with a treat of some sort.

    Nice initiative. 2 I love it that there are more contests on elfwood again, it’s such a nice incentive to improve your work. I hope this time I’ll be able to join, cause university doesn’t give me too much spare time these days 16 Well, either way, thanks for organizing these things. 2

    Were the contests in the past, then? I didn’t know that. I agree, it’s a great idea. Gives us a little push to create new art.

    No inspiration so far for Halloween, but you never know.

    :-) Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "Yes, there have been contests in the past. You can thank Mithrandir for all the hard work of getting this started up again."

    :-) Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "It’s been published, so you can go ahead and enter the contest if you haven’t already."

    i wanna enter, i need to bug my dad for the scanner....after drawing a pic themed around halloween...

    btw, is it allowed to be fanart, or does that not count?
    17 Oct 2009:-) Grey Pilgrim
    Jayd, there is already another purely fan art contest on right now, so it’s best if we keep this one fan-art free. You have, however brought up an interesting point and we’ll try to make this clear in any future contest announcements. - Mith

    Um I have a problem-when I try to go to the forum page it says "general error"(I’ve tried many times and still doesn’t work) but I want to enter the contest with http://www.elfwood.com/~abbycatgirl/Samhain_or_Halloween_.353- - - 7837.html Help!!

    :-) Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "I don’t know what the problem was. I assume the server had been updating. In any case I’ve entered your picture in the contest."
