In the Cards :: Design Your Own Greeting Card Contest!

In the Cards


Don't you just love getting cards in the mail?
It makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that
your friends love you enough to send your very own holiday card.

And isn't it just so much better when the cards are hand made?

Today I'm asking you to design your very own greeting card for the winter season!

Rules

Every contest must have rules, so please be sure to read through these carefully. :yes:

General Rules
  • Please follow Menewsha's Rules and ToS
  • Please treat everyone fairly. Bashing, insulting, criticizing, flaming, and whining will not be tolerated. I expect you to be cheery & bright!
  • Not everyone will win. By entering this contest, you agree not to cry or complain when the results are posted.
  • Have fun! This is meant to be enjoyable, not work.


Contest Rules
  • This contest ends when the event ends, on January 1st. Entries will be accepted until the event forum closes.
  • Plagiarism and art theft are punishable offenses. If you are caught stealing someone else's work (including the designs of a marketed greeting card company), you will be banned from this contest and will receive an infraction.
  • You cannot win more than one prize, but you may enter more than one card as long as they are in separate categories.
  • Cards may be CG, drawn on a tablet, or made with real life materials. No matter how you choose to create your card, it can be entered into this contest!
  • Cards must have both an outside design and an inside greeting. If you wish for the inside of your card to be left blank, then you must say so. Incomplete cards will be less likely to win.

Categories

NPC
Cards in this category must include one of Menewsha's NPC characters. You may put the NPC's picture directly on the card, design it as if the NPC were sending out the card, etc. All entires simply must revolve around an NPC.

Winter Themed/Seasonal
Cards in this category must focus upon the winter season. This is the Festival of Winter Nights, after all. So show me your snow scenes and evergreen trees, show me your sleigh bells and holly! Cards in this category do not have to depict outdoor scenes, but they must be related to the winter season in some way.

Unconventional
Do you wish your friends "Season's Greetings" by handing them a pineapple? Do you prefer orangutans over reindeer? Then this is the category for you! Share all of your unconventional traditions and greetings here. Please note that cards in this category should not be random mish-mashes of anything you feel like drawing. They must still be greeting cards that convey your best wishes for the holiday season.



Prizes:


Top Three in each category
5,000g / 2,500g / 1,000g

Funniest
2,500g

Most Heart-Warming
2,500g

Best Artwork
2,500g

Best Written Greeting
2,500g

This looks super fun!! I`m definitely going to have a submission in! :yes:

sjacklene 12-25-2009 02:16 AM

I am so entering in this. It sounds so fun!

Is there a minimum or a maximum on the size of the cards? I don't think I saw one and I thought I would make sure

Knerd 12-25-2009 04:44 AM

Nope, just make it a reasonable size. :yes:

oHsoDemandinG 12-25-2009 08:12 AM

Hey Knerd you said we can use an already made picture of the NPC right? What about the signature things from the past valentine's and Christmas events?

Ravinessa24 12-25-2009 09:34 AM

I would like to try this as well, I shall start working on a card right now. ^-^

All of the art that you submit needs to be your own. If you use art that was made by Omi for past events, for example, then you are plagiarizing. :yes:

oHsoDemandinG 12-25-2009 05:16 PM

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Knerd 12-25-2009 06:00 PM

No problem!

I want to see entries start pouring in today! Otherwise Kaesthrine won't have much competition. :lol:

4nj3L 12-25-2009 06:11 PM


>_< I so want to enter!!! I hope I have enough time to make a card.

Knerd 12-25-2009 06:22 PM

There's plenty of time before the event ends, so I really hope to see your entry! :yes:
