Monthly Contests

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 27, 2009, 8:10 AM
Welcome!


#Space-Club is a growing community that is willing to help artists and give feedback so the quality of pieces can be improved, but we do so in a way that any medium is accepted and anyone is accepted.

Anyone interested in space art is welcome to join the #Space-Club. Once you join, you can submit art to our gallery, share your artwork in our chat, and participate in contests and collaborations. Joining, Submitting, and Applying


Current Theme: Wormholes


Submissions due by: Friday, December 3rd, Midnight EST
Theme: Wormholes
Guidelines:
Create a new piece that includes your perception of a wormhole/wormholes. Be creative! Please make sure you follow all the rules in this journal.

How to Submit:
We have created a new folder in our gallery called Wormhole Contest. When your entry is ready, head over to the Wormhole Contest Folder, and click the [+ Submit to This Folder] button, located in the top right. You may only upload ONE entry.


How Often Will Contests Be Held?


Contests will be held every month.



How Are Themes Picked?


We gathered member's opinions on how to pick themes, and here's how it works. #Space-Club will hold a poll with 10 options, and you guys vote for the one you like the most. Feel free to send in suggestions for a theme, and we will make sure to include it in the poll. The next theme poll we hold, we will drop the winning theme and the theme(s) with no votes or the least amount of votes, so we will cycle out the ones we've used and the ones that people don't appear to have much interest in.



How Will Contests Be Judged?


We are going to do this old school #Apophysis style. For those unfamiliar with what this means... keep reading. We will post a weekly news journal with thumbs of all the entries on the day the contest ends. Each thumb will be labeled with a number, the title, and deviant. To vote, members should simply leave a comment with the number of your favorite submission. The submission with the most votes is the winner. We will also post the runner ups and any ties.


How Long Will Judging/Voting Be?


One month. This gives plenty of time for everyone to vote, and is further explained below.


Can the Admins Submit?


Yes. Because the voting is done by the members, and all the admins here would enjoy being able to take part in the fun, we have decided that it is fair for the staff to submit pieces to the contests as well.


Can A Member Who Submitted Vote For Themselves?


No. This is the most simple answer, it would be an unfair and biased vote. Submitters *CAN* vote, just not for their own entry.


Can the Admins Vote?


Yes. An admin's single vote means as much a member's single vote.


How Do We Know Who Wins?


The winner of the contest will be posted the day the next contest begins. This is sort of hard to explain, but we'd like for it to be a nice continuous cycle. When *Contest A* ends, there will immediately be another *Contest B* beginning. When *Contest B* ends, the winners of *Contest A* will be posted, voting for *Contest B* will start, and a new *Contest C* will begin.


Are there any Specifics that Members Should Know?


The only real specifics are that the submission must follow the theme. They can be any dimensions, with no limitations. Just make sure it's still space art, and have fun!


Does the Winner Get Any Prize?


If by prize you mean subscription or print or something physical, unfortunately, the answer is we do not have the funds to do that. The winner will be our featured deviation (we have tried a couple ways to handle the featured deviation, but this should take care of it completely) - and will be featured in our journal for two weeks.


Anything Else?


If you have any unanswered questions, feel free to send a note or leave a comment and we'll get back to you as best as we can. If you think we missed an important FAQ, make sure to let us know!



We look forward to seeing submissions! Let the fun begin!

The deadline was actually earlier this month, but we're still accepting submissions to it due to lack of participation... :( Looking forward to seeing your entry!

Yeah, maybe the theme is a bit out of standard space arts. Anyway, I think I can submit my work in a few days.

"a theme around the idea of Parallel Universe"
Sorry I don't understand this, I really want to participate :)
Reply
:iconspace-club:
Alternative Worlds, Realities or Dimensions. Parallel Universes really only have theories about what they could be, so it is a very general and open idea. It could be a planet that is exactly the same as ours, it could be a planet that is similar to ours, but not exactly the same. It could incorporate blackholes... These are just a few ideas/examples. Hope this helps! :)

it's me again :D
"Create a new piece", so my work must be submitted to dA 10th - 24th April? Older pieces are illegal :D?
Reply
:iconspace-club:
At the moment, that is correct. We could run a poll some time to see if people would prefer letting older pieces be submitted to contests though...
