Hello fellow artists and fans! I, the admin of INFJ Art want to thank you for you interest in making these forums a happy home for all of your art projects. But now is the time to make a stand and show us what you really can do! We want to give our members here a chance to show off your talents in what you love to do most....art! So let's have a contest! Of course there will be rules, guidelines, limitations and restrictions.
Contest Rules
1. Only 3 art pieces maybe entered at one time. (So choose your best three)
2. Artists participating MUST show proof that they did the artwork submitted. By doing that, you'll need to send the admin the file(s) used to verify authenticity of the artwork submitted.
3. All artists must sign their work.
4. Any artist type (Traditional, Digital, Illustrator, etc.) can submit their art to the contest. Poets and writers will have their own contests to participate in, so we haven't forgotten about you guys.
5. If you happen to be a little of both (digital artist and poet) then you can submit your art in the contest. You can showcase your poems, but will be judged based upon the visual background that you created not the words themselves. Again, that is what the Poetry and Writing contests will do.
6. If you plan on using photostocks, fonts from other websites, etc. from the internet, i. e Google, you must include in your PM to the admin, the site where you got it from via link or by screenshot, whichever is comfortable to you.
7. The number of contestants will be at a minimum of 10. Since you are submitting 3 works, the process of elimination will be easier on the judges and they can come to their decisions a lot quicker based on what was submitted.
8. The process of elimination will take about a week, but the contest will have tiers to be judged in. Those tiers are:
(a) Entry into the official contest
(b) Entry into the first contest round
(c) Entry into the semi-finals
(d) Entry into the finals
At the point of (a), as mentioned above, the judges will have picked 10 contestants to enter into the official contest, based on what was submitted to them. From there, the 10 chosen will still have their contest entry art further looked at and judged officially.
9. Art will be put into the following categories:
Digital (including Photography)
Traditional (including oil paintings, etc.)
Illustrations (including Oil Pastel and Graphite illustrations)
If you have any questions about the categories, please use the Contest Rules Q&A thread to post all of your questions.
10. Out of the three entries you submitted, their will only be ONE that will be picked to enter (b) of the contest. So if the judges didn't pick what you thought was cool, please don't be upset about it. If you have any concerns about the judges' decisions, contact the admin. DO NOT go and harass the judges about their decisions on what art of yours did not enter the final parts of the contest.
11. Artwork will be judged upon, Concept, Design, Creativity and Scene Quality. Scene quality applies to Photographers only. So try and do your best to come up with something extravagant! Also, any content submitted will have to be NEW and not seen by the forums. WIP projects are not allowed if they have been seen by the public -- on INFJ Art forums.
12. Contest prizes will include the following, but remember, each contest will be different, so that means different prizes.
3rd place: Will receive the title "Artisan of the Day". That means you get to experience more options on the forums, along with a chance to become a moderator of the INFJ Community Art part of the Forums. When that happens you will be PM'ed your duties by the admin of the site.
Runner up: Will get a chance to get their name on the news ticker, along with the title "Artist of the Month". Also, they will receive a gift card of $5 to Amazon.com for anything they wish to spend it on.
Grand Prize Winner/1st place: Will receive the title "Artist of the Year", will be featured on the news ticker as "Artist of the Year", will receive one of the three prizes (by winner's choice):
$20.00 Playstation Network Code Card
4GB Thumb Flash Drive
$10.00 Amazon Gift Card
Also, the contest winner will get to do a interview from one of our Staff members about themselves!
All prizes that need to be shipped physically, contest winners will have to provide a valid Address so their item can be sent to them. Prizes will change every contest. If you are a contest winner of first place and did not receive your prize of choice, contact the admin. All addresses given will be confidential and not released in anyway to the public. Prizes will be sent whenever the admin has a chance to. That process maybe a week or two after the contest ended. You will be notified by PM when your prize has been sent. For shipped items through the mail, you will receive a tracking number in which you can track your prize. Art contests will be held once a year (annually).
