Portfolio Contest

Brought to you by your local [Linderel].


Everyone knows about those arts courses where, at the end, you will have to submit all the work you've done during the course in a portfolio, right? Well, this concept is quite similar to that.

Each week, I will post a theme which you will then have to portray. There will be ten given themes. Aside from those, your portfolio page should have two more pieces, the subject of which will be up to you. Please note that the last given theme always consists of five options - whether you choose to portray only one or several or even all of them in your piece is up to you.
Optionally, you may also make a portfolio folder in real life and submit a picture of it (or make an image of what it would look like on the computer, either works) for extra credit. I want you to give this contest your utmost effort - after all, the portfolio may prove itself useful later.

The contest is split in three categories, each of which will have five entrants minimum. You may sign up for all, if you so wish, but I'd recommend choosing only one to focus on - that way we have room for more variety as well. The themes will mostly be the same for all categories.

Art Portfolio is for drawings in traditional and digital mediums, all the way from oil paint to Paint Shop Pro.

Photo Portfolio is for photography, whether taken with a traditional film camera or the newest digital one.
NOTE: No heavy photomanipulations allowed. You may do the following: tweak levels and/or brightness and contrast; add a border; convert to greyscale or sepia tones. I want to see what you can do with your camera.

Writing Portfolio is for poetry, drabbles and short stories. There are no firm word limits in either direction, but don't write a novel. Avoid fan fiction if possible.


I will give out a final deadline after all the assignments have been posted. Contestants have until that date to finish up. Portfolios that have at least a half of the assignments carried out will be included in the judging, but full ones are naturally preferred.


RULES:
1. All work, naturally, MUST be yours and yours alone. Collaborations are allowed only with another participant of this contest. If you use stock (allowed for graphics) or reference, credit accordingly - with links, if possible.
2. Read the themes! Each week, there will be a new subject matter which you will have to portray as you see fit.
3. No graphic scenes of either sex or violence. Please rate your work using the scale from G to R. For reference: http://www.mpaa.org/FlmRat_Ratings.asp
4. Upload all images and graphics to Elftown.


JUDGING & PRIZES:
I will judge the contest myself with at least two other people. Everything counts: the quality of your entries, originality of thought, even the way you display them on the wiki. There will be one winner for each category, all to receive a badge - and praise. In addition they may request a piece of jewellery.
There is a participant badge.
I will also choose a personal favourite from each category. Here, all started portfolios count.


Have fun!

2006-10-17 [Cia_mar]: interesting... i will see if i have time for this

2006-10-17 [Linderel]: People can start signing up now if they want to. ^_^

2006-10-17 [Viking]: OK...I'll attempt to participate.

2006-10-17 [Linderel]: Yay! :D

2006-10-17 [shotokan_gal]: Ooh tempting... if I can manage it with my old film camera ><

2006-10-17 [windowframe]: O_o *haunts* Awesome... *considers*

2006-10-18 [BinaryPhoenix]: I'll also consider it...

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: as well as an image of what the portfolio itself would look like in real life

Call me stupid if you must (>_> <_<) but I don't quite get this part :P Seeing as my photo's will be digital, does that mean I have to print them out? o.O;

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: I mean a sort of a folder. :) I guess I should have been more clear on that. At least on the arts courses I was on in senior secondary, we had to make a folder where we would stick all of our work, and that folder would count as one piece as well. :)

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: Oh, so a wiki then ^^ W00tage :D

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Well, I'll be making participant wikis for all of you when we start and then they're all yours. But I mean that you would also need to have an image of what the folder would look like. :P Everyone doesn't necessarily need to make one in real life and take a picture or scan it if they don't want to, they can make it on the computer as well, but anyway. :P
Or is that too hard? :S

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: Oh, no, that's fine, sorry, it just took me a while to figure out what you meant xD
That's absolutely fine :3

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Yay. ^_^

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: I'm not very artistic, but I'll make my portfolio and take a picture <3 Gives me something to do xD

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: I can't wait to get enough people to actually start. xP

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: How many people are you looking for? XP

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: I was wishing to get all the slots full, but I don't know if that's ever going to happen... ._. So I'd be happy with at least five in both categories. :P

2006-10-18 [Kelaria]: Ooohhhh :D this looks like fun ^_^

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: I'm sure it will!
Advertise on MC if you have to :P
I'm putting them in my house now xD

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Okies. :) I hope it won't take forever to get the slots full, though. :P

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: If it takes forever, just don't wait xD

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Yah. That works. :P *thinks about lessening the slots to ten for each category* Fourteen more entrants would be easier to get than twenty-four. xD

2006-10-18 [sequeena_rae]: This is true xD

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Hum. That is what I shall do.

2006-10-18 [Teufelsweib]: I would like to join this, but is it possible to step out sometime when I can't make it with school? (not that I think that will happen though... ;P)

2006-10-18 [Linderel]: Step out, meaning...? :o

2006-10-18 [Skydancer]: My folios are all commercial books, I buy them rather in bulk since I have to keep sending out so many of the silly things.

2006-10-18 [Azuri]: Sounds like a fun contest cant wait to see what comes of it.

2006-10-19 [Angelic nightmares]: I signed up, cause I saw the link in Squees diary, and thought it'd be interestin.

2006-10-19 [Azuri]: Heh same here.

2006-10-19 [Angelic nightmares]: Squee is good at requirting people

2006-10-19 [Azuri]: Mesh, very good indeed

2006-10-19 [Linderel]: Yay! \o/

2006-10-19 [dayah]: I had to do one of these when I was apply to the art institute in houston...they wanted pictures of people in motion, or action..that and a still life picture. scenery, and...hmmm...can't remeber what the other was....sigh...just wished I had to money so I could have gone

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: Can I ask a question? I risk to sound stupid - again, but in the end you would want to have 10 photographs of the given themes and 2 pictures of a choosen theme and the look of a portfolio, right? For the portfolio I have a question ... do you just want the look of one or us to design one?

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: I am sorry you weren't able to go [dayah] ...

2006-10-19 [dayah]: its okay.....got accepted, just couldn't get all the money to go...sigh.

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: It is always the problem isn't it? I could possibly go to a school for photography but I already know that I won't have the money for it. Luckily I could get it as an apprenticeship over here - wich I am working on right now *^.^*

What are you doing instead by the way?

2006-10-19 [dayah]: Staying home taking care of my baby....I really missed out on the dorm life, or even living on my own before I got married...I kind of regret it now

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: Oh yes I can imagine ... but you are happy anyway, aren't you?

2006-10-19 [dayah]: sometimes...sometimes not...just depends on the day.

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: *hugs*

2006-10-19 [sequeena_rae]: 00:49:57 Angelic Nightmares: I signed up, cause I saw the link in Squees diary, and thought it'd be interestin.

00:58:53 Azuri: Heh same here.

01:02:33 Angelic Nightmares: Squee is good at requirting people

01:15:40 Azuri: Mesh, very good indeed

2006-10-19 [Angelic nightmares]: Will forver be, the Squees faithful/loyal stalker/slave ^_^

2006-10-19 [sequeena_rae]: xD You're making me blush :P

2006-10-19 [Angelic nightmares]: -offers chocholate-

2006-10-19 [Viking]: Be careful. Give one of 'em chocolate, and they start coming from everywhere looking for chocolate...

2006-10-19 [sequeena_rae]: *hides chocolate* ¬_¬

2006-10-19 [~Lady Morgana~]: Oh [Viking], you are so right with that! :O
