On previous occasions TRF has held contests for various online awards and honors, but today begins a new era in contest-dome. A greedy capitalistic era in which the winner gets to bask in the glory of actual tactile prizes! Yes, folks, TRF's latest contest will in fact be giving out a small grouping of prizes to be mailed to you by yours truly. Several small, but lovely, Star Wars memorabilia items are on their way to my house as we speak, just so I can mail them back out again in September.
Now that I've established that fact, on to the rules!
This contest will be graphical in nature. Since this was my idea and I'm also happy to provide the prizes, the staff has no problem with me pandering for the ultimate in character sigs. That's right, making a new sig for Damalis is what's required to win this contest. Not such a bad deal considering what you'll have to look at while making the graphic.
Anyway, the rules are as follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. No stealing of other people's work. If you are busted, the staff will treat you poorly for it. Anyone providing proof that any one is stealing someone else's work for their submission will be glorified.
2. You do NOT have to be the person who made the sig. Yes, you read that right. If you are able to convince a friend who, while not being a TRF member, is a graphic wizard to make a submission for you, go right ahead. But you MUST give them credit for the work, as well as be willing to share the prizes with them. If they wish to give away their claim to any prizes, you can just have them post here to claim their work but give up their prize rights. ((Notice the distinction between 1 and 2. Admitting to using someone's work is allowed, as long as they provide a post saying you have permission. Stealing is a no no.))
3. You may make more than one submission. If you just like making sigs and want your work seen, you can post more than one. Hell, you can make as many as you like and give other's permission to submit them, as long as both parties agree to share the prizes if they so wish.
4. Watch the size. If your unsure about what dimensions to make it, ask Kas. (( I'd write it out now, but I don't know it :b he can also just post it here.))
5. No nudity. As much as some of you adore the bounciness of Damalis, she does not run around naked. Now, if you choose to use a picture that depicts nudity in the original, just be sure to cover the naughty bits in the final result.
6. The following things MUST be in the sig somewhere:
* either "TRF" or "The Rebel Faction"
* the name, or login, of the creator
The following things are optional:
* either the name" Damalis", or "Damalis Skywalker"
* the word "Smeep" is acceptable
* a quote is all right, but please at least try to run them past me first
* the url for the board
7. I am particular about WHO is used to portray Damalis. For this contest, limit your search to a model named Kirsty Hume. Typing in her name in ANY search engine will get you tons of results, but if your lazy, message or email me and I'll link you to one privately. Kas would probably prefer I NOT link it on the board.... :)
8. If possibly, host the picture yourself, in order to not take unnecessary space from the board. Then link to, or post, the graphic here.
9. The contest begins today, August 6th, and ends September 6th. This gives you an entire month to work on, or beg someone else to work on, your submission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
That seems like a lot of rules, but really it's not. If there's any questions, just ask. For the person who wins, I will be the only person handling your address information. The judges for this contest is the staff, unless one of them wishes to join in, then they can step down from their judge chair. ((Ahnk? Wasn't sure if you wanted to join in or not...)) This all said, keep in mind Damalis is a sweet girl, slightly dingy, loving and one of the good guys. And she has really long hair :b So, try not to set your heart on using the pictures of the model with short hair...
Any questions?
