Create Chimes a Stock Pack!



<img://elftown.eu/img/drawing/80746_1099410932.jpg>


-What's this?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I thought of this little contest while trying to think of ways to boost activity and submissions over at Reference Pictures, the aim is to create a stock pack for me to make a manipulation from (if you need a couple of samples of my work visit: CCASP: Samples). The stock packs will be put into the Reference Pictures archives enabling you to become one of the Reference Photographers - that's if you don't mind having them in there. Please note that this is not an official contest.

-What is a Stock Pack?
A Stock Pack is a set or series of images used to create a photomanipulation. It can include (but is not limited to): Landscapes, interiors, model stocks, animal stocks, object stocks and textures.

-What will I get if I participate?
A little unofficial badge, made by myself. If you choose to allow your pack to be submitted to Reference Pictures then you will also receive the badge of the Reference Photographers. You also get the warm feeling of taking part.

-What will I get if I win?
If you win I will be making a manipulation out of your stock, which will be dedicated to you and it will be for you. If you have a DeviantART account, I will feature you in my journal over there. I am also trying to think of some other little goodies for you.
Plus all of the prizes for participation.

-How will it be judged?
I haven't quite decided yet but the options are: public vote, a panel of judges or my personal choice.

Rules



1. Images MUST be yours and must adhere to the uploading art rules.
If they are not yours you will be disqualified from this contest and reported to the guards. Collaborative efforts are allowed, but please limit your teams to three at most.

2. There must be at least three images in your stock pack and entries must be placed on separate (exported) wikis.
One of the three images must be some sort of background, the other two can be to enhance said background. For example: your images could be as follows, a field, stormy sky and a horse. Feel free to put as many images in as you like, I will try to incorperate all of them, if you win.

3. You must make a note of whether you are willing to have your packs submitted to Reference Pictures or not.
This is not necessary but it would be nice if you would allow it, remember that if you agree your images will be free for anyone on Elftown to use. If you are using recognisable human models that are not yourself I will need written permission from them to use the images. This is the same with Reference Photos, you may choose to do this using the Elftown Media Release Form.

4. Good quality photos, please.
Grainy or pixelated images are somewhat hard to work with, so good quality images are necessary.

5. Stick to the theme.
There will not always be a theme, see below for details If this goes well I will be doing several rounds of this contest.

6. Have fun!
That one is simple. :P

2008-12-21 [Chimes]: Oooo! Yay! <3

Tynuka, you don't need experience, not really. I've seen your submissions for Reference Pictures and I like what I see. :]

2008-12-21 [Yuriona]: Alrighty then. I'm in the process of uploading a bunch of stock photos so hopefully I'll have a stock pack ready for ya soon! ^__^

2008-12-21 [Chimes]: Oooo! Yay! That makes me excited!

2008-12-21 [Tynuka-Rhytishy]: Lol, thank you.

2008-12-21 [Khronos Atmosphaera]: *watches* I believe I'm gunna do this. I've been wanting to make stock photos for a long while, I've just not had a reason to get off my butt and do it.

2008-12-21 [Chimes]: Excellent. :D Glad that I can make a sufficient form of motivation. :]

2008-12-22 [Captain Rachel Black]: *haunts* :D

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Hooray! Another haunter! :D Welcome!

Wow, Yuri! You're fast!

2008-12-22 [Yuriona]: Fast? It took me a while to set up my stock pages! :O I had 5 years worth of stock photos to sort through.

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Yeah but normally contests (non-official ones, anyway) don't tend to see entries until their third day, at least. Maybe. XD So, by those standards, you are fast. :]

2008-12-22 [Flisky]: Have to go throw my stock photos. But in the meantime...

*stalks*

2008-12-22 [Venus 53]: hmm I may have to have a look through my photos and see what (if anything) decent I can come up with.. =)

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Excellent! :D

2008-12-22 [Rook.]: you may use ANY of my photos, Chi... I dont really have time to make a seperate wiki pages...so go through my pics, I'll have them on my page in a moment....

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Well, this is a contest, so the aim is for you to submit, not for me to choose images. It would be unfair on anyone else who enters.

2008-12-22 [Rook.]: oooh... I didn't see the contest part..sorries... ^^ I think I shall have to bow out of this one...

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Alright. :] Maybe, we shall see you in the next round? (There will hopefully be one.)

2008-12-22 [Rook.]: *nods* most likely

2008-12-22 [Chimes]: Yippee!

2008-12-22 [Rook.]: ^^

2008-12-22 [Duke Devlin]: *Entering* :D Eventually.. When I have time to photograph thingers. :D :)
