Day 101

WHAT THE EVERLOVING ******** THERE IS NO DAY 101


________________________________________________________________

Rules
(are subject to change with out warning if we notice something needs to be more clearly defined)

1. In order to be eligible for the prize at the end, the participant must submit a drawing every day for a consecutive 100 days in a row, using the themes given. Participants will have the choice of 1 out of 5 6!!! different themes per day to choose from.

2. If none of the themes inspire you, you could draw requested avi art for our art collectors instead, to replace that day's themes. You may do this as many times as you'd like, but you're encouraged to try the themes if you can. :3

3. Daily themes will be changing everyday at midnight (12am) Eastern Time Zone. So be sure you post your creation before the time swap, as failure to do so will eliminate your chances of being in the art raffle at the end of the event. Early entries are also not accepted. Basically, you must post your entry between 12am and 12am of the correct day.

4. If you miss a day, turn in a drawing late, etc, you are welcome to still participate for fun, even though you are not eligible for the 5mil at the end. You may receive up to 1mil instead.

5. No MULES please.

6. We must be able to properly associate one of the day's themes with the art piece (unless it's a request). Feel free to be inspired by the themes, rather than interpreting them literally. If the theme is not obvious in your piece, please explain the connection to the theme when you post the picture. Examples of how to interpret themes: "bumble bee" can be a bee, the car or even the transformer. "India" can be Indian landscape or architecture, people, culture, fashion, etc. Our goal is to encourage creativity rather than stifle it... but we have to be able to follow your logic. smile You'll get a private warning if we feel you're consistently straying too far from the themes.

7. Media can be anything you'd like, including non-visual media like poetry, prose, or music. If you produce a long written work, please excerpt a short snippet that makes the theme obvious. If you have any question about producing a non-visual entry, just ask the other mods.

8. For people who don't post daily but would like to occasionally post large quantities of pictures, please post all images in chronological order. We prefer if they are also already formatted in url code. (URL code is the little button at the top of the text box when posting that says URL, just beside Quote and Code, on the same level as Bold text, Italicize text and underline text, click this and post the link of your image in the first text box, and then the number of the theme in the second text box fallowed by a " , " to help separate them.)

__________________________________________________

and if you have any questions feel free to ask myself, Shestval, Little China Doll or Drakokatze : ) We don't bite, really! This is meant to be fun.

FAQ

Q: is it ok to submit in more than one medium?
A: YES!!! this is a time to try new things explore and go out of your comfort zone to. So have fun with it : )

Q: I don't see my entry updated to the front page!!
A: Please make sure that a mod (Kai_Chi, Shestval, Drakokatze, DoLL) has posted "Updated" after your entry post. If there is one and you still don't see it in the front page, post again stating your concern along with the page number in where your post is located and we'll fix that right up! : )

Q: What the hell is up with these themes??? They're terrible!
A: All the mods (but especially Shestval) have put a lot of time into the daily themes! We hard try to have themes that appeal to everyone. Here is the thought process behind the themes:

• Theme 1 is usually an art-related challenge
  
• Theme 2 is usually abstract
  
• Theme 3 is always an animal
  
• Theme 4 is always a place
  
• Theme 5 is a catch-all category
  
• Theme 6 is wacky! Shestval's goofy little brother came up with these themes.

Every now and then, you may have to google a theme. This is expected, so don't get hung up on it!

Q: Are there any special rewards for certain days?
A: Yes! If you do an "Extra challenge" theme, you get a freebie chit that allows you to miss one day's art or erase a late drawing. When you get a chit, the mod will put a mark by your name and later delete the mark when you use it.

Q: What is the prize at the end?
A: If you are in the active artist list, you will be granted 5mil for finishing all 100 days consecutively! If you are in the participating for fun, then you may receive up to 1mil... but if we noticed really quick drawings that shows no effort behind it, we reserve the right to decline the prize to the individual.
