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.

2003-12-15 [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...

2003-12-15 [May-lea]: Look, the actual frontpage picture has been made by two people

2003-12-15 [Cristina]: *hugs Aethe* look, guards don't do these type of things to bug. It's just that we must be fair towards all of the other Elftowners who have had their images taken down in simmilar situations. However it's very understandable to feel pissed since you coloured it yourself. Look, we won't shoot down any joint entries, just writte both of your Elftown names saying who drew it and who coloured. Colour the artworks you want to as long as the artist is an Elftowner and agrees to let you coulour them. We created this contest for you all to have a good time, please don't let a little missundertanding of the rules interfere with your enjoyment of this contest. Ok? :-)

2003-12-15 [Calico Tiger]: The actual frontpage image was done by two consenting people. The problem is, you need permission from the other artist to use their art ^_^ And in this case, with the current front page image, it was a joint effort

2003-12-15 [Bratt]: Shes gonna color the sugar plum fairy that I drew a while back and sorta gave up on. So she gets to enter and put something of her own in contest. I don't feel lazy and frustrated with another unfinished picture in my stack, and were all happy smappy tra la la la!!

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: -noddles disponedtly- i'll try...

2003-12-15 [Cristina]: Ok, case closed then... let's move on to something with more positive vibes please... :-P

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: actually... i think i'll just go back to hating the holiday season alltogether... i spent last year all alone not more than 3 months after my father passed... the solitude suits me bett than anything i have ever known, and this is just what i get for trying to break tradition...

2003-12-15 [Bratt]: hey Mr Grumpy GIlls.....know what ya gotta do when life gets you down? Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming swimming. la la la

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: well, i'll color and enter, but i think i'll stay secluded after that, with the exception of aim...

2003-12-15 [liiga]: The problem of staying secluded for too long is when you get bored and finally want to get out of it, you discover that there aren't many folks left to get out to.

2003-12-15 [Sepharin]: meh.... if y'all want to get a hold of me while im working, my AIM name is LadyAethelwin... i can direct connect or whatever to send files...

2003-12-15 [Bratt]: Don't worry I'm gonna keep bugging her and writing her. SHe cant stay hidden to long. If she does we can throw toilet paper all over her page!! *snickers*

2003-12-16 [Sheepy]: *ogle* that tree is perfect, liiga!

2003-12-16 [Thorgin]: Oh that is a great picture Liiga!

2003-12-16 [liiga]: :) Thanks!

2003-12-16 [May-lea]: *sigh* I knew I shouldn't even have bothered to start doing an entry... Funny enough there's a lots of similarities between yours and mine...

2003-12-16 [liiga]: Really? I'm curious!

2003-12-16 [May-lea]: the tree, the night, the mountains, father christmas, the town among others.

2003-12-16 [May-lea]: Although obviously yours is far better

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