[b]Site Contest Rules:[/b] These rules stand for [u]all[/u] current running contests, but please make sure to scroll down to each category and check out their own specific rules! If you still have questions, please feel free to ask theme here. - Contest begins on [b]October 5th at 12:00 PM CHT[/b] and ends on [b]October 19th at 12:00 PM CHT[/b]. This is the same time period for users to browse and cheer entries. We will announce the winners the same day, on [b]October 19th[/b]. (This means you should not post your entries until the contest begins on the 5th!) - Include an excerpt or tagline that is about 100 [u]characters[/u] long. This will be your leading quote shown in the Spotlight feature! - Entries must be posted within the appropriate category. Entries posted in the general Site Contest Forum may be disqualified. - Entry must be your own, not taken or copied from another person. - Please only post one entry per category at most. - Entry must be in English. Typos and mistakes won’t disqualify you, just please don’t submit an entry in another language. - “Joke” entries are not allowed. Please feel free to use humor, so long as it’s not mockery (like an "I hate the Mods!" shirt) or laziness (like a scribble of no shape in particular, or a blank black box). - Entry must be "complete" when posted, meaning that you should not add to your entry after posting it initially. Minor edits, such as a typo or a small color correction are fine, but adding to the entry may disqualify your entry. You can feel free to submit an incomplete "piece" of an overall story, comic, etc. as that is not against the rules. - No “bump” posts (made solely to push your topic to the top of the page) or “quest” posts (made solely to fulfill an Hourly Quest) are allowed. - Please only Cheer [u]once per person[/u], not account. We may disqualify entries that use secondary accounts to Cheer themselves. - Entries will be judged by number of Cheers from users. In the event of a tie, moderators will Cheer for the tied entries. - Any failure to comply with these contest rules may result in disqualification. Failure to comply with the standard site rules will result in the appropriate warning, Forum muting, account lock, or ban. - Winners will receive the exclusive [b][i]In the Spotlight[/i][/b] Achievement and may be included on our Spotlight feature for the logged out Homepage! Winners will also receive the [b][item]Spotlight T-Shirt[/item][/b] and [b][item]Spotlight Showcase[/item][/b], the latter of which can be given to your Kith over and over again for additional ability points! Finally, the Avatar Contest winner will receive [b]100 Gems[/b] while the Kith Design Contest winner will receive a [item]Custom Kith Stage Submission[/item] for their winning design! [center][b]Avatar Contest:[/b][/center] This month's theme is [u]dreams and nightmares[/u]. It's almost time for Halloween, so get out your costumes! Though I suppose we all wear costumes, if you think about it as a persona, a face we present to the world outside ourselves - beneath the surface, what dreams live there? What nightmares lurk in the waking world that you would rather escape from into the depths of a dream? - Include a screenshot of your Avatar in your entry [u]as well[/u] as a screen shot of your dressing room. You may place the dressing room screenshot in a spoiler tag if you wish. You are not required to wear your entry for the full duration of the contest. - For this month's contest, you [u]may[/u] use the "All Site Items" toggle in the Dressing Room to wear unowned items. There is no slot limit. [center][b]Kith Design Contest:[/b][/center] This month's theme is [u]dreams and nightmares[/u]. It's almost time for Halloween, so get out your costumes!
