In honor of Worthless’ new modship: ABC #17!
For anyone who wasn’t here last time (or 2 years ago, when we did this regularly) or has simply forgotten, an ABC is an Avatar Battle Challenge. You submit an avatar (up 2 avatars --1 still, 1 animated) that fits within the chosen theme. All the avatars are unveiled simultaneously on game day, and judges vote on which ones they think are best. Prizes are had by winners, fun is had by all. See the rules below for more details.
Anyone who wants to compete just has to PM an avatar to me by Friday Night, 04/10/2009. The voting will begin on the following morning. That gives you about a week and a half to come up with an entry. Once I’ve collected all the avatars, I’ll post them, and the judges will choose their 3 favorites each, and rank them 1, 2, 3. Scores will be tallied, and the winners will receive prizes.

RULES
1: It must be a new avatar. Do not PM me an avatar that people have already seen, or you will be disqualified. This means that you are not allowed to show the avatar around before the battle starts in a week. They should all be unveiled simultaneously at the start of the comp. (Because there was a problem with kensavenge at one time, I guess I have to clarify? Only submit your own work. That means an avatar that YOU MADE!
2: No artists are allowed to reveal to anyone which avatar is theirs. Any artists caught leaking such information will be disqualified. Of course, some styles are recognizable, so some judge recognition is inevitable. You may bounce ideas off of someone, but please do not make the avatar public until I unveil them.
3: No one is allowed to wear an avatar that has been submitted in the competition until AFTER the voting is completed.
4: One avatar per category per artist, please. This means you can each enter one still avatar, and one animated avatar.
5: The avatar must be within premium-size requirements. That means the maximum size is 160 x 100 and under 50 kb. Feel free to make anything smaller than the max if you like.
6: No pornography or innapropriate material. You guys know this…(Swearing is A-Ok!)
7: You can submit as many times as you like. That means if you submit an avatar on Saturday, and then change your mind and decide to submit a different one on Monday, go right ahead. You can make revisions, changes, or just enter a completely different avatar. I’ll use whatever one you send me last. Just make sure you have your final submission in to me before the deadline.
