Star Wars Fanon:Image Contest

Welcome to the first annual Star Wars Fanon Image Contest! This community-wide event is to (hopefully) garner some more interest in SWFanon and bring out the artists. So, if you can draw, paint, model, sculpt, or Photoshop and wanna prove your mettle, feel free to enter your work. It doesn't need to be a whole new drawing just for the contest, if you wish to use an existing piece you've uploaded, by all means do so.

Artwork will be categorized and voted on by the community, with myself and Wylind officiating. Artwork will be judged on basis of composition, technique, detail, and style, rather than the subject matter. Art will be judged with other pieces in their own category, for example, traditional drawings will be judged with traditional drawings. When the voting period arrives, please take your votes seriously and consider what goes into the artwork before voting. This is not a popularity contest. Vote on the art, not the user or subject matter. Votes will be tallied at the end of the designated voting period. Categories and entries with tied votes will be judged by the masters of ceremonies to approach a final decision.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:45, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

LET THE NOMINATIONS BEGIN!

You are free to nominate your images starting Friday, November 12th through Friday, December 3rd. After which time, no more nominations will be accepted and voting will begin.

Categories
Now, the part you've been waiting for... The voting! Extraneous categories have been removed/merged. Please try to vote on the artwork itself, rather than the user and/or subject matter. You cannot vote for your own entry. That is cheap and kinda cheating. =P

Stuff
Alright, I just got the program I used to make my lightsaber hilt, so I am going to try and crank out a few more images, although they will only be for the digital sections. I am not sure if I will be able to get them in by tomorrow since I would just be getting my home internet back on Friday (deadline day), and I don't have school. The point being, don't depend on my entries to be in before the deadline, this was just to give a heads up about a possible last minute entry(ies).- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 23:46, December 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, take your time. I may not get around to actually starting the voting period until Friday night anyway.  Or, early Saturday morning, as the wiki's clock will say.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:37, December 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just go ahead with it. The Secondary place I go for internet (primary is my school) won't let me install the program to work on my files and so I won't be able to even work on them until tonight, and actually posting them will probably take until tomorrow. So when the time comes, just start up the voting.- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 20:54, December 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * The nominations shouldn't close until 12am Eastern Standard Time tonight, because the deadline says "through" December 3rd. That means until the last second of the day. /lawyering - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 22:06, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ummm... It's fift now and at least the sitenotice still says "accepting nominations". Shouldn't we start voting?--Dionne Jinn&mdash; Did you say something? 22:14, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Trak hasn't closed the nominations yet. She's the host so that's her task to do. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 22:34, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering.--Dionne Jinn&mdash; Did you say something? 22:38, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was out for the weekend. I'll close it now and get the voting started...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:49, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
