Christmas FrontPage Competition

2003-12-13 [spincrus]: you'll have to design the rest of the page, but I'd say leave the image here, it's lovely :) actually I guess you can enter it into both competitions. any rules against that?

2003-12-13 [Resiska]: Can you enter more than one?

2003-12-13 [Calico Tiger]: No, it's not against the rules to enter more than one competition. Yes, you may enter more than one (image and competition)

2003-12-13 [Resiska]: oki doki

2003-12-14 [Adnama]: I really don't want to design the rest of the page :x... I just wanted to provide a picture which is what I thought was needed in the first place. :o..If I MUST design the whole page if i win then just take my picture down. I don't mean to sound mean, ungrateful, or anything, I just don't know anything about webpage making. :x

2003-12-14 [Nita]: Oh come on, I think it would look just fine with the current layout :)

2003-12-14 [Calico Tiger]: I agree ^_^

2003-12-14 [Calico Tiger]: OOooo very pretty ^_^

2003-12-14 [liiga]: Mhm. *stares at the little stars in the sky*

2003-12-15 [Adnama]: Do I just have to design the look of the page or do I actually have to do html and stuff myself? I can design it but I don't know any html or the first thing about webpage making. :x

2003-12-15 [Nita]: No, you don't have to do that... Just draw everything that has to be drawn, and choose some nice colours :)

2003-12-15 [Venala]: http://www.theholidayzone.com/christmas/ctree.html                 I was under the impression you needed permission before posting or using someone elses art. Am I wrong?

2003-12-15 [Nita]: *sigh* Well, you're right... :/

2003-12-15 [Adnama]: Okie then! I'll make something for it. :3

2003-12-15 [shudson]: [Sepharin]'s image is also entered in the picture competition.  from the site: "You may use this material freely in your home or classroom; however, no portion of the material on this site is to be re-posted, reproduced, or sold without prior permission."

2003-12-15 [Anonymous]: [Sepharin] will read the Uploading Art Rules . The drawing must be redone if it is to be displayed anywhere in Elftown, since part of it is copyrighted by a third party. If not modified it wont be allowed in the contest. Also she (please) will find 5 rulebreakers and report them to the Guards using the Note to Guards function.

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: i ish cunfuzzled... O.o... i was under the impresson that the original artist was ok with the use of her work... i colored it myself in photoshop, from just the line art, and [TheRogue] can attest to that fact as he actually sat with me on the phone to instruct me on how to do a part of the glitter effect...

2003-12-15 [Bratt]: I just want to add and point out tho that copyright laws are very tedious and sometimes hard to understand. Thats why I always do my own stuff from scratch so I dont have to worry about infringing anyone else rights. If you like I would be happy to draw you something to color and enter??

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: you know... at one time i might have said yes... but i dont think its worth the effort just to be shot down because people dont want joint entries... but thank you...

2003-12-15 [liiga]: There's a difference between a joint entry and not giving credit where it's due. A large difference. ;)

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: i would never not give credit where credit is due... if someone actually came to me and said they wanted to see the big picture, then i would have told them. besides... these rules of copyright are just too wierd for me... im never going to be a lawer >< hell... i cant even spell the WORD lawer...
