I've been wanting to start my own Avatar contest for a long time. I love making avatars, and I love the creativity of others' avatars. But I couldn't just make any contest! I needed something fun and unique. So finally this idea came to me. A scavanger hunt for avatars!
Not your typical avatar contest, this contest includes searching out and nominating other people. You get points for being nominated by someone else, and you gets points for completing 'tasks'. I will hopefully be getting in one 'cycle' a month that contestants may go out and hunt for avatars to match the day and week tasks.
As of right now I'm basing this on a point system, where you may redeem points for art. When I have the ability to give out prizes there will be surprises awarded for special tasks, or secret tasks that aren't necessarily listed. (like say you submit someones avatar that meets something that particularly pleases me)
Current Cycle Dates :10-9-16 until a day or two after the Halloween event ends.
At the end of each cycle I will pick the winners for each task and award points. Than from those winners I will pick one overall winner from the sections to receive 25 gold or 10 points. And from there, one BIG OVERALL WINNER for that cycle to receive 100 gold or 25 points
Announcements
11-8-16: New rule added! new way to earn points!
9-11-16: Updated the point costs for art!
6-7-16: New Rule being added about do NOT ping people list.
5-17-16 : Bringing the thread back to life
11-6-14: Thread going through some renovations.
7-1-13: First tasks are up, this avatar contest is now underway!
6-23-13 : Thread was created, and first cycle dates were released
Special Tasks
Special tasks will rake in an automatic free art for those involved if 5 avatars can be found.

How do we submit our own Avatars?
For this contest, you may dress up in the hopes of getting nominated, but you can not actually submit your own avatar. It is in the hopes of getting out there and searching for things like a real scavenger hunt would be.
Quote:
Is there a wrong interpretation of a task?
No. I love creativity, and interpretation breeds creativity. If you happen to interpret the task the same way I saw it as I made it you do get bonus points however.
Quote:
Can multiple tasks be turned in at once.
Absolutely!
Quote:
Do I have to save the noms somewhere or can I just use the link to their current avi?
I would prefer that the avatars were saved somewhere. That way, if someone was to change there avatar, there would be no confusion as to what you submitted.
