Magic Art Contest for Newbies

Deadline: July 31st 2008

Rules:

1. Only people who have Not Won an official Elftown Photography Competition before can enter. If you already have won a competition, then you can enter at Magic Photography Contest for Veterans

2. NO STEALING PHOTOS! 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. Please put forth your best effort and the best quality, i.e. no fuzzy or blurry photographs where we can't actually see what's happening. Any such entry will be removed. Also, scan your images if at all possible. Your work should also be new for this contest, and shouldn't have been submitted to any contests previously.
Last but not least, it can happen an photograph has the same title as another one; this is not against the rules as long as the artists' names are clear.

3. EACH MEMBER MAY SUBMIT ONE ENTRY.

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.

Once you click this link you can follow the instructions. See also uploading images.

5. SUBJECT MATTER: Images that depict graphic violence, pornography or other disturbing actions will not be accepted. Only images that fit the theme will be allowed.

6. MEDIUMS: The mediums allowed are photography, and photo manipulation. But please make sure that all material used for the manipulation is your own. Otherwise it will be removed for copyright infringement.

7.PROOFPHOTO:
To enter this contest you have to submit a new photo combined with a proofphoto with a teddybear/plushie taken during the same photoshoot.
This has two reasons:
- The proofphoto shows that the picture is yours.
- Both pictures have to be new, because we want you to make your entries especially for this theme. The picture should clearly show that you thought about the theme and how you want to reflect this.
You can't have done this before the contest, because you didn't know of it then.

What will we be expecting? Creativity!

Theme:

Magic. It's a very broad theme, so you've got lots of artistic license. Your picture can be of someone casting a spell, or of a clearly magical object or creature. That means, some kind of spell or magical effect should be obvious in the image. Do not simply enter magical creatures standing there. We want action! If you're not sure about your idea, ask in the comments, and one of the crew will give you an answer.
Images not following the theme will be removed.
