All submissions: This page.

Congratulations!

Thank you to all that contributed!

Elftown is getting ready for this years Christmas. There are many competitions going on and among them we have decided to host a Front Page image competition too.

During the last two weeks of December and first of January the image seen on the Front Page when logging in will be changed to a more Christmas related image for each and every Elftowner to enjoy.

Since this is an official contest, images must be added here in order to participate in it.

Rules:
The images have to be made by Elftowners and posted here by the original author. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here without the artists permission.

Themes:
We are looking for images that portray the way you see Christmas in our friendly little town. Be imaginative! After all, nobody sees Christmas the same way. ^_^

Size:
Try to make the images as wide (800px) as the current page or scalable to that size and write where to put the login-form and generally what the FrontPage should look like. (Like: Put the login-form below the image)

How to add it here?:
Add the link to your image after the last one that has been already posted here. Don't forget to write the authors Elftown username after it too (Drawn by...).

In order to bee able to upload those images to Elftown ask any member of the council for priviledges to do so.

Closing date:
On December the 21st we will consider that there has been enough time given and will accept no more entries.

Note:
The Christmas FrontPage image will be picked out by the Elftown crew among all those presented and a surprise awaits for the winner.

3. [Sepharin]- Since there are way too many fine lines pertaining to copywrite rules, especially in this case, I have taken the liberty of removing this image from both this and the image contests. Let it henceforth be known that any art I do HAS BEEN DRAWN by another artist, and merely COLORED by me. I was under the impression that that was ok for this contest, but apparently I was wrong. So I just will remove them, accept my "absolution" and do as Anonymous has requested of me. Which, by the way, starts now, as the members I have reported of late were just out of boredom, and not pertaining to this incident.

4. [liiga] - This is the downscaled image.

2003-12-16 [liiga]: Don't say that now.

2003-12-16 [May-lea]: I do and there's no point denying it... ^_^.

2003-12-16 [Nita]: Well, we will never agree if you don't show us... ;)

2003-12-16 [Sheepy]: Oh, c'mon May-lea! Your image entry was adorable. Show, show! We need more options :)

2003-12-16 [May-lea]: It's not finished yet. I've got to put the buildings in, and the robin.

2003-12-16 [shudson]: bah, why do i bother entering these things when I know there are FAR better artists out there ;) beautiful image liiga!

2003-12-16 [liiga]: To have fun! :) And thanks.

2003-12-16 [spincrus]: I love that picture! The lights on the windows at the background, just amazing the feel that they give.

2003-12-16 [Bratt]: Im pretty sure the concept is going to be a little redundant. They asked for Elftown at Christmas. I'm sure a few ppl are going to draw a town at Christmas time. SO don't give up so easy. Besides you never know.

2003-12-16 [Khayman]: come on may-lea, i probably won't win either but mine's going up as soon as it's done anyways!

2003-12-17 [Sheepy]: Silly May-lea, there's nuffin wrong with your picture. The little bird is a nice touch :) And my Greek prof would be just thrilled to death that you made the acadamy so.. well, Greek.

2003-12-17 [May-lea]: ;) I didn't take the time to do a proper lighting... and proper shadows... I'm dead *off to sleep*

2003-12-17 [Bratt]: It looks wonderful May-lea. I'm glad you took time to post it! I love the footprints in the snow you added!!

2003-12-17 [Sepharin]: you know, now that i'm looking for the fuckers, there's no offenders to be found... *wails*

2003-12-17 [Sheepy]: That's the christmas spirit :P

2003-12-17 [Sepharin]: ah, shaddup... *grins*

2003-12-17 [May-lea]: Snow with lots of people without footprints = weird. It's mathematical ^_^

2003-12-17 [Calico Tiger]: Another pretty one! I definitely am not entering this one ;) Darn all you people that can draw trees! Btw, that border looks fantastic, May-lea!

2003-12-17 [May-lea]: Thanks ^_^ . But you should enter... You'd get your chances...

2003-12-17 [Calico Tiger]: Not with the 4 gorgeous images up here *laughs* You guys kick ass! Yes, I said ass :P *blows a raspberry to anyone who was shocked at that*

2003-12-17 [Sepharin]: -pokes the callie pewson-
