Rules

• Each participating board will have a thread dedicated to the competition and it will be the place to discuss and post your arts. It's also a great place for suggestions. Each thread is linked here in this post.
  
  
• The art must be holiday themed and have the board name clear anywhere on the artwork. You are free to use any technique (brushes, textures etc...). For help and tutorials, the FanArt board is a great place to find it.
  
  
• The artwork you submit must be exactly 800 x 600 pixels and in JPEG format. No bigger and no smaller.
  
  
• Final submissions should be a separate post in the thread marked with the words "to submit it for the competition" in red. This way, I will know that it is the final version of the art you would like to submit. It will be linked on the beginning post of the thread, updated frequently. If you do not see your art on that post a few days after you post it, please PM me.
  
  
• Art should include your username on the bottom left of all artwork in Times New Roman, font size 12 (72 pixels per inch). Also be sure to include a separate 150x100 thumbnail in JPEG format along with your art to be used in the voting. Please do not add a border to the thumbnail.
  
  
• The deadline for art submission is December 16th, 2007 5pm EST. You must have your artwork posted by that time to be considered. No exceptions. Please make sure that your upload site is reliable.
  
  
• You may submit no more than 1 art per board. You may most certainly make more than one for each board and post it on the thread for people to see, however you may only submit one for the competition per board. There is no limit to how many boards you can submit an art for.
  
  
• There are a couples of special notes. With regards to the TV and Music board, you may only submit an art on a topic that does not include one in which there is a separate board for here on FF. The only exception is if that particular board is not participating in the contest. For example, you can not submit a Snow Patrol art for the Music board but you can submit a Ross/rachel (from Friends) to the couples board. With regards to the Couples board, you may not submit an art with a movie or tv couple that is from one of the shows participating in the competition unless it features a variety of couples from different boards.
  
  
• Please make sure to keep your artwork PG-13 while sticking to the Forum rules.

Voting
The voting will be as follows:

1. Favorite for each category: This will take place within a few days after the submission deadline in the form of polls, topped in each participating board. An example of a poll can be found here. If you want to vote for a particular board, please visit that board and vote.The last day to cast your vote will be December 23rd @ 5pm EST and the winner will be announced the next day.

2. Favorite Overall: This will be held on the fanart board starting Christmas (after the first round votes are counted) and will be open for voting until December 31st @ 5pm EST. Everyone is encouraged to vote.

Winner of the overall competition will be announced very soon after.

Questions
Please post your general competition questions on the board thread or the main competition thread on the Fanart board.

Thanks guys! My name is Jessie, if you have questions

And a little bit of holiday inspiration:
I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. - Bernard Manning

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space. - Dave Barry

I really hope you guys all have a blast making and seeing the arts and that you all have a fun, safe great holiday season
