If you guys got any suggestion on which theme or subject you guy would want to have the contest on let me know : ) ! thank you all ! cant wait to get it started. The contest will last for 2 month and judging will last 1 month so 3 month in total . everyone can submit up to 2 entries :) Once I get the contest set up I'll be sure to post about it ! for the prize I'll be saving up 4k for the winners. 1st prize: 2000$ 2ed prize:1000$ 3ed prize: 500$ and 5 honable mentions for 100$ each or would you guys prefer 2*1st prize: 1000$ 2*2ed prize:500$ 3ed prize: 500$ and 5 honable mentions for 100$ each

Wait. What are you supposed to do? It seems there's a line missing. Is this a painting contest?

Whooo congratulations! the second option seems nicer; since its more spread out but yeah up to you!

congratz!!!! this is a great idea, can't wait! 2nd way seems unique and would make judging a bit easier, maybe both?? rotate between them . That or choose the method depending on the contest (ex if its drawing a face, 1 winner for female and male face?? bad example but you get the gist )

Awesome! You'll have to think of some more goals to add for yourself! did you ever imagine you would get this far??? For the contest I would highly recommend skill categories, beginning, intermediate, and advance. Than you can give the $1000 prizes to advance, $500 to intermediate, and $100 to beginners. I don't know how you were planning to set this up but I personally don't like contests based on how good the artwork is no matter how old or what level of experience an artist has. Everyone deserves a chance! I think it's a great opportunity for those just beginning to have something they can try to do, I really hope you would consider this factor when creating your contest. Once again, congrads :)

Don't hate me, but I suggest My Little Pony theme! It is popular among fans and ccompassionate people. It's where the eyes are at~

I do like that idea a lot because I am a beginner...But someone experienced could join beginner just to increase their chances.

wooow congratz <3

I think that the second idea works better, you have one set of prizes for the advanced artists and another for the noobs. I'm pretty sure the 90% of the people here are beginners so there will be more people in that category, so I hope that the more advanced artist will be fair and stay in their category since they will have less people to compete against. :)

Look forward to when the dates and theme of the contest are announced.

Congratulations Sakimichan! I personally think splitting the prizes up is a better idea so more people can enjoy them and feel like winners.

Congratulations! :) I think splitting it up would be the best for everyone. But I dunno if I'll attend cause I just started drawing and I'm still learning

I'd vote for the second option with the split prizes. Less money but more artists will get the chance to be recognized.

Fantastic. I can't wait to enter. Themes will be fun, and we have time to come up with ideas, etc. maybe pick by series, or by genre. I'm open for whatever.

John Slaughter

I think more winners would be more appreciated, and easier to judge. There will likely be times when you have more than one really good image and your second suggestion lets you choose both in that situation.

Baikal

It is a contest of drawing? Or maybe writing and other creations would be ok to participate?

Anadia

So excited for this! I think the first one sounds better. I have a question though... will you do more than one contest or will this be a one time thing?

ChrissaBug

Yay! So excited. Either way looks good to me. :)

You're awesome for setting up a contest :) Keep it up Sakimi! <3

Theme: Exotic? You can end with so many different entries with that, sadly as a writer and not artist I'll only be appreciating this time :)

Anadia

PS.I would love a fantasy theme or something of the sort :)

Anonymous

Alice in Wonderland themed....Actually it would be awesome to see your take on Alice!

Anonymous

waaaaa can I join?? owo

Anadia

Ooh! Or what about a gender bend theme? That could be interesting :D

I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I definitely prefer the first payout scheme. Probably just my competitive nature... As for breaking up the prizes by skill level, that idea seems too hard to implement to actually work. Who would decide my skill level? Me? What if I think I'm advanced, but I actually have no chance, but might have fared well in the beginner level? Am I just screwed? And if someone were talented enough to get the 1st place prize, but unconfident and entered the beginner level, would an inferior piece win first instead? If the judges are deciding, how do they make the distinction between a poor "advanced" piece and a good "intermediate" piece? Does someone lose to an inferior piece because the judges thought they belonged in different skill brackets? Personally, it seems the point of an art contest is to have a competition. If everyone has equal chance of winning regardless of skill, why even bother submitting any art? It would just be a raffle at that point. If the judges just decided which pieces they liked the most, of that they thought demonstrated the most skill, that would be about as fair as anything. As far as themes go, I'd say keep it pretty broad. While doing art relating to a specific universe (be it Marvel, Disney, Alice in Wonderland or whatever else) might be fun, I think sticking to a genre instead might be better. Personally, I'd love to see some of the original characters the community can create (but I wouldn't want to force anyone to HAVE to draw an OC, either...).

Oh! I hope to have the time for these contests :D I definitly want to participate!

sakimichan

it's mostly a 2D contest : ), but I'm open to crafts as well such as statues.

sakimichan

yes it's mostly a 2D contest, but I will probably create a category for other medias such as sculptures/crafts etc :)
