If you do not see a board here that you are thinking of making an art for, it does not mean you can't participate. As some boards have not signed up this year, to ensure that every type of art from every poster has a place in the competition, the following categories of art will be accepted in a thread on the Fan Art Board:

• Couples
• Movies
• Music
• Original Artwork - Drawings, photographs and anything that is your own material.
• Random - Any topic/subject that does not pertain to an of the participating boards and does not fall under Movies, TV or a Male/Female Celebrities. For example, christmas trees, santa clause etc...
• Sci-fi Fantasy

Arts for these categories can be submitted at this thread on the FanArt board. Please make sure that you specify which you are submitting it for.

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 above 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 one of the following 4 sizes in pixels and in JPEG format; 400x300, 800x600, 1024x768 or 1280x854.
  
• Final submissions should be a separate post in the thread marked with the words "to submit it for the competition" in red. This way, we 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.
  
• You will have to include a separate 200x150px thumbnail in JPEG format along with your art to be used in the voting. Please do not add a border to the thumbnail.
  
• Art should include your username on the bottom left of all artwork in Verdana, font size 12 (72 pixels per inch).
  
• The deadline for art submission is December 20th, 2009 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.
  
• Special notes:
  
  For TV, Male Celebrities, Female Celebrities and Music, you may only submit an art on a topic that does not include one in which there is a separate board participating. For example:
  
  - If you make a Kris Allen art you would submit it to the Kris Allen board and not the thread for Music on Fan Art because Kris Allen is participating in the competition.
  - If you make a Kelly Clarkson art, the proper place to submit it would be the Music thread on the Fan Art board because even though she has a board here at , it is not on the list of participating boards.
  
  With regards to Couples submissions, 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. For example:
  
  - If you make a Luke and Lorelai art, it must be submitted to the Gilmore Girls board because it is participating.
  - If you make a Rose and The Doctor art, it must be submitted to the Doctor Who board because it is participating.
  - If you make a Luke and Lorelai art that also includes Rose and The Doctor, you should submit that to the Couples board.
  - If you make a Jack and Rose Titanic art, that can be submitted in either the Movies or Couples categories on the Fan Art board.
  
  
• Please make sure to keep your artwork PG-13 and stick to the Forum rules.

The voting will be as follows:

1. Favorite for each participating board: This will take place within a few days after the submission deadline in the form of polls, topped in each participating board.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in posting the winners for each board. Christmas & Family have been more hectic than I had planned for this year, so I have devised a new timetable for the finishing section of the competition: New Timetable 1) Winners announced tomorrow. 2) Polls started tomorrow for final round - Best in Category. Polls will run from 29/12/09 - 02/01/10. 3) Winners announced soon after (when banners have been made by me or the Graphics Team). Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for the thread, Jen

[ale-la-pazza1]

I might try to participate this year

[dancingphalange]

Yay I can't wait to participate.

[indigo sunrise]

So so so excited!

[miss-rebel86]

Yay! I did some arts yet after last years holiday competition and will submit soon as I get the size and username font done... and collecting some new pics/materials for new arts I intend to make.

[bokayjunkie]

i was just wondering if there's a way for us to see last year's entry's or should i just look back through the pages?

[spadiceous]

I'm so excited! Can't wait to participate.

[miss-rebel86]

I have a question about the rest of the categories we can submit (Couples, Female Celebrities, Movies etc.). Does this mean that we can submit one art in every category (example: one with Jennifer Love Hewitt, one with Jack & Rose, one with Jessica Simpson ...)? We just have to specify which art is for which category... cuz, i.e. JLH can go in Female Celebrities or Movies, right?

[MrsEdwardCullen]

Figured I'd answer for you Miss-Rebel but it says this about your question

- If you make a Kris Allen art you would submit it to the Kris Allen board and not the thread for Music on Fan Art because Kris Allen is participating in the competition.
- If you make a Kelly Clarkson art, the proper place to submit it would be the Music thread on the Fan Art board because even though she has a board here at , it is not on the list of participating boards.


So if you make one for JLH it would go under female celebrities since her board is not participating...but if you do one of Rose and Jack it would go under Doctor Who since that thread is participating. Then Jessica Simpson would go under the category of music

I would imagine JHL would go under movies, if you were doing pictures of a specific movie she was in.


at least that's what I take from it hahaha.

[Tina]

bokayjunkie: Here is a video, that I think, Jessie did last year.



miss-rebel86: JLH would go into Female Celebs but if it's Ghost Whispers themed, it would go into TV, or if it's I Know What You Did Last Summer themed, it would go in Movies.

Thanks for helping out, Tasha.

[miss-rebel86]

Ok, think I got it now. Thanks! If I find some free time, I will try to do a video with last years entries and post it here.

[BrokenButterfly]

I have a quick question.

If I'd like to do an art based on an athlete, what category would that fall under? Random? Or would you stick it in male celebs?

Just curious.

[Tina]

That's a good question, Catherine. It would probably be stuck underneath Random since the athlete isn't a male celeb like, Johnny Depp. What do you think Rella and Jen?

[miss-rebel86]

Hope you guys don't mind, I made a video with some Fanforum Holiday Art Competition Entries 2008
My apologies for the ones I didn't put in, I had some problems opening the last years entries and I did a random check of the boards, so not all entries are here...
