1. 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 Fan Art board is a great place to find it.
2. The artwork you submit must be exactly one of the following 3 sizes in pixels and in JPEG format; 400x300, 800x600, or 1024x768.
3. Art should include your username on the bottom left of all artwork in Verdana, font size 12.
4. You will have to include a separate 200x150px thumbnail in JPEG or PNG format (please include the whole image in your thumbnail) along with your art to be used in the voting. Please do not add a border to the thumbnail.
5. 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 one of the GT Managers (Mel, Chelle, or Kate). The moderators of every board are responsible to add the arts to the OP by the deadline. Any art that hasn't been added in by 24 hours after the deadline won't be included in the polls.
6. 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.
