*time for some propaganda....*
Hello EVERYBODY :D
As you may know, THE UNDERAPPRECIATED GROUP
*link fixed... thanks Anjhurin *___* (otherwise known as the "Most Coordinated Legion of the W.A.R) have been
holding fortnightly competitions and we have had more than 6 rounds so far, meaning a non stop challenge for 12 weeks,
or three months :)
If you know me, just by looking at my avatar you know that I am a nut :D
Misa and The UnderAppreciated Group cordially invite registered UA members and others to participate in:
*****************************************************************
THE ROTTEN EGG CHALLENGE
*****************************************************************
---------------
Overview
---------------
* A 3 round competition
* Put YOUR reputation on the line :o
* ANYONE can win :D
* You make new friends
* You receive really weird and tough kinda themes/ stimuli ;)
* You have fun- it's not all about winning and losing... well sorta :P
* You can BET
* You can BRIBE
* You can TEASE
* There are prizes
* ANYONE is eligible to join as long as they have a good and stable internet connection, and also have some intermediate
Photoshop or Illustrator skills. We want to see some high quality work, so do try your best despite the ugly name of the
competition ;)
----------------
What you will need to produce
----------------
You'll be specifically given a theme or a stimulus (sensual: visual, aural or textual) to use as a basis. You'll be given the dimensions and two weeks to complete your tasks.
It may not necessarily be a wallpaper- it can be anything from posters, comic strips, collages, digital prints- anything :) This is a digital media contest :)
----------------
Judges
----------------
ALL JUDGING APPLICATIONS CLOSED.
----------------
Prizes
----------------
* Secret Prize Pool: We currently require all participants to PM me a prize contributing to the secret prize pool. It can be as generous or as miserly as you want- for example, a zip of Whitney Houston mp3s, or even just a photo of you. You do not send these in to me. Rather this is just a random prize pool the overall winner will select from- just for fun.
* Scans: Almighty DREAM offered his large personal stash of scans winners can select from. Do check out his gallery for a taste tester... it'll make you drool XD
* Titles: Yes. There are titles for winners. Check the Official Site for more information.
* Advertising1: When you LOSE you must advertise the entry you lost to in your
signature and write "I AM A ROTTEN EGG" beside it. Yes, in your signature. You are not permitted to advertise
your own losing entry :P
If you WIN, you simply write "I AM A KICKASS EGG" and advertise all you want of your own entry.
For clarifications, check the official site.
This is a prerequisite- if you do not agree to this, you cannot participate.
* Advertising2: Winning entries will be advertised on the UA group page. The
first entry will be there for a month, the second entry for 3 weeks and the third entry for 2 weeks. The same will apply
to my userpage and my signature.
If you belong to a group, your entry may also be advertised on the group page as long as your admins allow and organise
that :)
----------------
Betting
----------------
This is no ordinary competition so we let you bet :)
In the third round, there will be a few knocked out participants who will be called back.
In order to qualify to be called back, you should bet frequently on the official betting thread (not this one).
The betting is clarified in detail on the official site, so please read through that.
----------------
What it takes to win
----------------
I've always believed that competitions were meant to be fun and happy :)
But to win this competition, you have to be the following:
* Attentive to detail. Not only visual, also textual, aural etc.
* Good perception of the themes. "Feeling" is the key
* Being able to use the correct tactics: be it bribing, cheating, taunting, blackmailing or taking performance enhancing
drugs :)
----------------
Wishlist and what to write on this thread if interested
----------------
* Read the Official site- make sure to read EVERYTHING and agree to pretty much everything it says.
* PM me if you wish to be one of the two judges
* Write on this thread or PM me if you are interested in participating or have any questions.
* Write on this thread any clarifications you want made
* Write down any suggestions or reactions
