The idea of this contest is very simple:
Draw on any available surface, as long as it isn't paper.
See the details of the [#THEME].

<img:stuff/2237_wiki_help_9y7vcgcflr5.jpg>

Rules:

1. NO STOLEN ART!
Images must be created by Elftowners and posted here by the original artist. Which means, no matter how much you might like a particular image on somebody's house, you are not allowed to add it here. This includes random images from the net too. MAKE YOUR OWN DARN IMAGES, DON'T STEAL THEM AND TRY TO CLAIM THEM AS YOUR OWN! That makes us angry, very angry indeed.

2. QUALITY ISSUES
Please put forth your best effort and the best quality, i.e.
- no bad pictures or scans of your doodles
- your doodles don't have to be newly made, old doodles will also be accepted
- doodles must show it took some effort to create. A doodle is still a drawing or sketch, so it requires more than a few lines randomly placed.

3. EACH MEMBER MAY SUBMIT TWO (2) ENTRIES.

4. ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO ELFTOWN!
To upload your image full-size you can use the feature 'Upload a folder of images' that is shown on your house.
This feature allows you to upload one, multiple images or zip-files in their original size to a wikipage.
<URL:upload_zip.html>
Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

5. SUBJECT MATTER AND MEDIUM
Since the winners will be featured on Mainstreet, entries that include graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only entries that fit the theme will be allowed.

All applicable mediums will be accepted.
No photography, photo-manipulations or animations.

6. PROOF
If the doodle is on a surface that looks like paper, you should also submit a proof photo showing what exactly it's drawn on.

THEME

The theme of this contest is:
'Doodle where you can'
Sure you've at least once realised you're out of paper when you really want to draw, or been so bored in class you started to doodle on the nearest available surface, be it your own hand, jeans, or even the school desk. That's what we want to see.

2708) What should be allowed as a "doodle"? (Administrator: [Hedda])

Number of voters: 115
* a) Only accidental things that you draw somewhere when you're out of paper.
Number of votes: 18 (16%)

* b) Anything drawn on a surface not very well suited for art.
Number of votes: 83 (72%)

* c) Anything drawn on a non-paper, non-canvas surface (which would include graffiti-painting, tattoos and wood-carvings).
Number of votes: 14 (12%)

Deadline:
The deadline of this competition is October 1, 2007.

We will be picking two (2) images as the winners.

Ten images will be picked out by the Council and the Assembly among all those presented and a Mainstreet poll will tell the winner.
Participants will receive an art donor badge, and winners will receive a coloured version of the same (or a green/coloured Masters of Building badge if they are committed art donors).

2007-08-16 [Linderel]: No joke there, just a serious brain glitch. <_< *shoots self*

2007-08-17 [Demon Epona]: A looooong time ago in 7th grade I doodled a dragon curling around my finger, but I don't have a very good photo of it. u.u;

2007-08-17 [windowframe]: Shame, I was quite taken with the idea of doodling on a pulpit. :P

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Well, who's stopping you? xD

2007-08-17 [windowframe]: God will smite me. ._.

2007-08-17 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: I like this idea! :D Who came up with it?

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: I'm quite sure it was [Hedda].

2007-08-17 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: Oh. The Tom of Elftown. haha

2007-08-17 [Linderel]: Yeah. I just took the initiative of making it into an actual contest, with help from [Sunrose]. :)

2007-08-17 [ally]: "The Tom of Elftown." That's a horrible thing to say. And I hate myself for knowing that -_-

2007-08-18 [LeafyGreenPuddle]: LOL... oh come now. Nothing is worth your hatred less than your own self. And myspace doesn't really deserve it either. Why bother? And are you sure you understand why you hate it?

I'm getting off topic. Sorry everyone... feel free to message me at my house.

2007-08-18 [Iske]: hey .. does a drawing on a snowy window of a car count as drawing, or is that too photo-ish

2007-08-18 [Sunrose]: Hmm I think [Hedda] should get his ass over here and decide over matters like this :p

2007-08-18 [Iske]: hahahaha, i know it is not really doodling , but i saw that frontwindow and i had to draw on it... I always contect doodling with hanging on the phone.. maybe i need to check my phone desk .. lol

2007-08-18 [Hedda]: As far as I can tell from the rules, it should be some accidental art made when you're out of paper. Going out to make art in the snow, in the sand or carve on trees just isn't doodling.

2007-08-18 [Sunrose]: Well true, but on the other hand it was also the intention to see art on different surfaces..or something..: [428123 (Unknown or private posting)]

2007-08-18 [Iske]: so maybe it can then , the carwindow drawing??? Wat moeilijk allemaal (how difficult lol)

2007-08-18 [Hedda]: I'll put up a poll to see what people want. I think we kind of are missing the point if we allow frescos or other art specially designed for that non-paper.

2007-08-18 [Iske]: that's a good idea

2007-08-18 [Iske]: but drawing with your finger on a snowy window is not a fresco maybe a frisco... bad joke i know

2007-08-18 [Hedda]: So drawing in the sand or in the snow, would be B in the poll.
