So, it probably isn't hard to tell that PMV is in its infant stages right now as a forum. I understand you may have been somewhat disappointed by the lack of proper visuals making the forum look....well, good....once you first joined. But we're about to fix that!
I'd like to announce the first ever PokéMusicVerse contest! And perhaps ironically, this contest has NOTHING to do with music.
It's my belief, as I'm sure a lot of you share, that the best results for a product come from the concept of (in this case, friendly!) competition. That's why I'd like to start a contest for all you visual artists out there, to see who can make a great banner and background!
About the contest(s)....
- There are in fact TWO contests. One for a banner, and one for a background.
- Artists will submit UP TO TWO entries to me via Private Message: one for a banner OR one for a background, or both. (It'd be better to do both!)
- Once all the participants have submitted their entries, we will hold a consensus poll for members to vote to determine winner for both contests.
- Keep in mind that the forum mascot is Chatot! That being said, please include Chatot somewhere in the banner! (Background doesn't matter as much in that respect.) See below for more details.
- The dimensions of the banner must be 1214x100.
- The background should be large enough to cover an entire desktop monitor screen.
- Artists wishing to enter the contest should send a PRIVATE MESSAGE TO ME, stating they wish to enter.
- I would ask that artists please refrain from using anything but their own created artwork, and official art for Chatot, like this. You don't have to use this picture specifically, as long as it's official art by Game Freak, Nintendo, etc.
- You can either enter both contests, or enter one and not the other. So you can make both a banner and a background to be entered, or make one or the other. (There is no need to specify which contest you will be entering when you Private Message me to enter.)
- The deadline to enter is Saturday, January 31. But you can start on the artwork as soon as you'd like...you don't have to wait until the 30th to start!
- The deadline for ALL ENTRIES is Saturday, February 14. Entries submitted after 11:59 PM (EST) on this date, sadly, will not be entered in the contest.
And that's about all I can think of for now. If I remember anything that I may have forgotten I'll update this post.
As a bit of a "guideline," so to speak, Hydra was gracious enough to make this LOVELY rough draft logo for our social media accounts:
....Just to give you guys an idea. You don't have to strictly abide by this type of style at all. The more creative you can be, the better!
And that's about it! Hopefully we can get enough participants for this to be a really fun contest!
