Cutting right to the chase:
Well, this is an art contest. (obviously.) Sorry, but the title has nothing to do with the contest theme. xD Actually, the theme was suggested by our very own crew member, DayraSilvermist. I'll just list the basic info, because I'm not good at this. sweatdrop
-We have an entry fee of 300 Gold per entry, maybe I'll do a few deals or something.
-I like bumping, but sorry, no bump contest.
-The fee is funding for the prizes.
-We have 3 prizes, but they are NOT 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There will be no 'ranking'.
-Runner-ups will get something small too.
-Speaking of prizes, there's no consolation prize. You're in it to win it, not to lose and get something anyway. >.>
The dates that the contest are open is from May 20th to June 17th. I'll extend it if necessary.
Well anyway, I'll list rules and then we can get on with the actual art.
1. Keep below PG-13.
2. NO YAOI/ YURI.
3. No chibis, its just kinda lazy in my opinion. stare
4. You may have no more than two characters in a drawing, couples are okay.
5. If you're gonna do a drawing on paper, make sure it's not wrinkly and WHITE. (I've gotten an entry a long time ago on orange paper. WTF?!?!)
6. No tracing. Tracing is for losers.
Okay, well, the moment you've all been waiting for! (I hope)
The theme of this contest is called 'character cross-overs'. Before you get confused, I'll provide an example:
User Image
Thats Konata as Itachi, a simple example. All you basically have to do is draw one character in another character's clothes. Couples could be like switching the two character's clothes, like if Itachi was wearing Konata's school uniform. Cross-dressing is allowed... (xD) Plus, the two characters have to be from different animes. I'd prefer if you don't use video game characters unless there's a spin-off anime, like with Sakura Wars. When entering, don't quote the first page and state the character(s) you're using. And also, put your entry fee in a trade. That's it! Get drawing!

Well, here's how we'll do the prizes:
I will ASK the top 3 winners what they want. It must be under 200,000 or else I'll give you something really crappy. The two honorable mentions will recieve prizes under 50,000 and I will choose them. If you do not PM me within a week of announcements saying what you want, your prize will be given to an honorable mention or thrown away.

UPDATE: Since there's been problems with accounts, prizes might be a bit delayed in recieving.

UPDATE UPDATE: Winners now also have the option of '500 Gaia Cash and under' and honorable mentions have the option of '200 Gaia Cash or under'

I've been getting complaints that the deadline is too far away. This is because we need time to work up money for prizes, and to give everyone time for entries and such. Now, for some FAQ:
-Can we do it on notebook paper?
Yes, but ink it or make your penciling dark.
-Are we allowed to color it?
Only colored pencils. Again, darken your penciling or ink it.
-Where do I submit my entry?
There will be a separate forum for that.
-Who do I give my entry fee to?
Give it to me in a trade. Do NOT donate it to the guild, I can't buy things as prizes when that happens.
-Can I have multiple entries?
Yes. The entry fee will cost you every time, but every 2 entries one is free.

I'm definitely doing this biggrin

But does it have to be two characters from two different shows/games? Or can it be from the same one?

You don't have to do two, but if you do, then it MUST be from two different shows/games.
