Contest may be canceled or extended

Wed Oct 14, 2009, 1:27 PM
So we're almost towards the half point of my contest and I only have 4 entries which belong to two people. I'm a little disappointed to say the least :(
I thought I'd have a much larger outcome because last year was so much of a success.
I have come to a decision that if I can get at least 10 more entries from different contestants I will extend the deadline, but if I do not reach past the 10 mark, I will sadly have to cancel my contest :(
and here I had a ton of tangible goodies, not just features to be had by such lovely people...
I have decided to take out the no literature rule, and start accepting those entries-- hopefully it'll maybe entice more people, hehe

------------


In honor of my most favorite days of the year--halloween and dia de los muertos-- I have decided to throw another contest for this year! :party:
Since I did Day of the Dead last year-- this year will be all about :skull:Halloween:skull:.

I am not one for a lot of rules-- but since I am not the only one judging, there are some agreed rules.

:bulletpurple:Dates and deadlines!:bulletpurple:
This contest has begun on this day Sept. 30 and will end on Oct. 30
The winners will be announced on Oct. 31

:bulletpurple:The Judges:bulletpurple:

-- My beloved man (whom does not have a Dev account)

-- My lovely little brother (though he's got 4ft on me...)

-- And myself!

:bulletpurple:Theme:bulletpurple:

As said above, the theme for this contest is Halloween.

:bulletpurple:RULES:bulletpurple:

-- I am not accepting old deviations made before Sept 30. The exception to this rule is any Artisan Crafts, deviations placed under this category do not have to be new

-- I will NOT accept artisan craft deviations that have been submitted to my last years contest

--All deviations must have a Halloween theme, I am ok if you submit dia de los muertos themed deviations, but any images showing tasteless and senseless violence (such as someone slashing their wrists, or getting their brains splattered etc.) will be subject to rejection at my discretion. ZOMBIE themed deviations are the exception to that rule of over-the-top-gore

-- This year only TWO entries per deviant will be allowed.You may only win once with your deviations.

--:new: Literature is now accepted!:new:

-- All entries must be submitted to me by note

-- Under all deviations you must put in the description that you are entering that piece into my contest, otherwise it will not be entered until you do so.


:star::winner:PRIZES:winner::star:

since I do not have a sub, the prizes offered on my end are very limited, and it is because of this reason I will offer the info of what the contents of treat bags are. No images will be put up yet though so the pieces will remain a mystery... until I can't keep them secret anymore that is =P

I meant to say that it either has to be made for the contest, or during the time given for the contest lol.

Having trouble articulating what I mean lol
