Welcome to the very first spirit animal contest!
I hope everyone has fun with it.
(中文翻译.)
I'd love to get to know the Steemit community a little bit better, and what better way to show off your personality and creativity than with a spirit animal showdown.
This contest will last a total of four weeks, so that people can have plenty of time to find out about the contest, come up with something great, and participate in the community aspect of the competition.
With that said, voting will begin during week 3, so be on the lookout!
The contest will end on Tuesday, September 5th, 3PM GMT.
The prizes
Grand prize: 20 SBD
1st place: My pick, 15 SBD
2nd place: Popular vote, 15 SBD
Art Honorary Mention: 10 SBD
Writing Honorary Mention: 10 SBD
Participation Award: Randomly generated, 5 SBD
How to qualify
- Upvote and resteem this post.
- Submit an original piece of art depicting your spirit animal with an explanation of why that animal represents you in the same post.
- Use the #spiritanimalcontest tag.
- Everyone has a chance to win with the generator!
Rules
- You may use any medium to depict your spirit animal, however the final image must be static (no gifs or videos please) and able to display in Steemit (please don't send me to any third-party sites). If you choose to use photography, please only use your own photos or provide a link to where you got the picture off of public domain.
- You must show at least five process photos to prove that the artwork is original.
- The written section is up to the author's discretion; numbered lists, prose, a cut-and-dry explanation, and narrative are all 100% fair game. That said, the written explanation must contain at least 200 words.
- Up to three entries per account will be allowed.
- Voting will be curated in the comments section of a post during week three. Only one vote per user.
Selection criteria
First place will be based on my judgement of your concept, design, execution, prose, and overall effort.
Second place will be based on the popular vote (total NUMBER of votes, not vote payout). Bot votes will be not be counted. Please note that if you enter during weeks three and four, you will be at a disadvantage.
The Art Honorary Mention will be selected based on best design.
The Writing Honorary Mention will be selected based on best written explanation.
The Grand Prize will be a best-of voting process. I will take the top-ten winners and their runner-ups, pull them into one post, and have the community reward points to each contestant, voting style. The writing and the art will be judged separately at this stage, and the winner will claim the 20 SBD prize!
