The wiki administration is proud to announce...

...The First Annual SU Wiki Halloween Drawing Contest!

=What is Halloween?=

NOTE: Some people don't know what Halloween is, hence this question and answer. Halloween is many things, but most know it as activities that include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing and divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films.

=It's only September?=

No more questions. Don’t ever question this. But on a serious note, it's because we want to give artists a proper amount of time to create their pieces before Halloween actually occurs.

=What is the theme for the contest?=

The theme this year will just be the general theme of Halloween! We will introduce more specific themes in the next coming years if we choose to continue the idea.

=What can I draw?=

You can draw any canon character(s) you want! Just please make sure that the drawing is related to the Halloween theme; a character just cosplaying as another character is not acceptable unless there is some sort of indication that it’s for Halloween.

However, you may not do the following:
 * Use bases or PNGs -- your art must be by you and you alone.
 * Submit an image that violates our regulations (e.g. NSFW).

=Who will judge this contest?=

The administration, not including any members who wish to participate, will judge the contest.

=How will this be judged?=

We will primarily focus on a piece's creativity and composition.

=How many winners will there be?=

There will be one winner and two runner-ups.

=What do they win?=

The winner’s and runner-ups’ art will be displayed on the front page for a month; the winner’s art being more prominently displayed than the runner-ups’. In addition they will have special templates made for them that they can put on their profiles indicating their status as a winner/runner-up.

=How do I submit my entry?=

Please submit your entry on this blog post.

=When will submissions be accepted?=

Submissions will be accepted from now until October 15. We will announce the winners a few days after.

If you have any more questions, please leave a reply! Good luck to all!
