Hiya, folks! We take it most of you are on summer vacation already? Well, good! Because in the interest of seeing more activity in the guild, we've decided to pack the summer full of contests!
Perhaps some of you just might be finishing up finals, so we'll start off with some light, simple things to do, with small prizes. As the summer goes on, the complexity of the type of contest will increase, but so will the size of the prize!
We understand some of you might be going on trips and all, but you still might want to participate. We'll show you the rundown of contests, so that you can make your preparations beforehand! They are as follows, grouped into what will be held during that month:
June
1 - Name the Guild Mule!
2 - Dress the Guild Mule!
3 - Screenshot Caption Contest
Deadline of submissions: 26th
Voting period: 27th-30th
July
4 - General Avatar Contest
5 - Avatar Cosplay Contest
6 - Avatar Cosplay Twist!
Deadline of submissions: 25th
Voting period: 26th - 31st
August
7 - Real Life Cosplay Crafters | Hunters
8 - Fanart: Open Category Crafters | Hunters
9 - Shortfics: Open Category Crafters | Hunters
10 - Videos: Open Category Crafters | Hunters
11 - Scavenger Hunt!
Deadline of submissions: 24th
Voting period: 25th - 31st
Scavenger Hunt runs from 25th - 31st
(Keep in mind that this is all subject to change as the mods discuss it among themselves.)
We would like to know when all your classes start again. Raine has informed us that summer officially ends September 21st, but also says classes usually start earlier than that. If you could all tell us, we could shift around some deadlines. 3nodding
UPDATE 6/30/2009: All right, in light of trying to gather more entries for the next set of contests, we've decided to make the July contests run for most of the month, with the last week being the voting period.
Also, for better organization and to give people some better leeway to prepare, the Real Life Cosplay Contest has been moved to August.
We understand this might make the August deadline look a little tighter, but we've also kept in mind that you could be submitting content you've made in the past. It doesn't matter how far back. ;D
We hope you have fun and enjoy participating! biggrin

ADDENDUM: Crafter and Hunter Divisions!
All right. So you've had a look over the contests we have in store. Some of you may be going, "But I don't have any talent in ! crying "
Well don't worry, we thought of you! biggrin The Real Life Cosplay, Fanart, Shortfics, and Videos will be divided into what we call the "Crafter" and "Hunter" Divisions! This is basically how it goes:
The Crafter Division of a contest is for those who do the work themselves. Those who have made their own costumes, drawn their own fanart, written their own stories, and made their own videos. Because you've put your hard work into it, the prizes of this division are big! Here's a review:
1st Place - 10000g
2nd Place - 8000g
3rd Place - 6000g
The Hunter Division of a contest is for those who will be tasked to scour the interwebz for examples respective to each category. As in, you didn't make it yourself, but you find it so damn cool that you just wanna show it to everyone else! However, as this isn't your own work, this division grants half the amount the Crafter Division would. Here's a review:
1st Place - 5000g
2nd Place - 4000g
3rd Place - 3000g
There is one condition to joining these divisions, however. If you join one, you cannot join the other. This is in the interest of giving a lot of different people a shot at winning a prize, all right? All right. Judging from the turnout of the June Contests, we've decided to let this rule slide. If you join one division, you may join the other if you wish.

This thread is now open to feedback and suggestions.
We'd like to know if you're all right with the setup. Do you like the categories? Are you all right with the deadlines? We don't want to see you pressured about them! We want you all to have fun. biggrin
Is there anything you want clarified, such as how a certain contest runs? Feel free to ask!
Depending on your votes in the poll, some contests might get watered down. For example, we suspect the Video contest might be a bit too complex for most, and we might end up holding only a Hunters' Division for it.
I'll also keep a tally here as to how many say they would be interested in what division---this'll also help us decide what part we could just nix altogether.

Crafters - 4
Hunters - 3

Crafters - 13
Hunters - 2

I would especially like to know if you're all right with the deadlines. They were mostly set by me, and I hardly have any idea how the academic calendar goes for you North American residents anymore. *is in another country* 
If you find these dates inconvenient, I'm always open to suggestions as to where to move them around. smile
Oh yeah, and I'd like to point out that these contests aren't open to just the guild---we're public, so they're open to guests as well! I highly encourage you members to invite any friends to participate, if they're fans of the games.

I'll probably do a bit of both maybe?
Mostly crafter.
Fan art and screen shots?
Fan art for sure, though!
I like these ideas : D

Oh, each month, you're free to join whatever contests you like. So that could count as a tally toward all of them. biggrin
