Submission Guidelines
- You may enter as many times as you like.
- Art may be digital, traditional, or mixed media.
- Traditional art should be cleanly scanned or photographed, transparent backgrounds ARE NOT necessary.
- NO recoloured linearts (even if they belong to you!), no photo-manipulations, and no written art. Sorry! =C
- Each artwork must be an original, unique image created by you.
- Theft will NOT be tolerated and will result in the offender being reported and banned from the competition.

How to Win
- OVERALL Winners are chosen based on the quality of the image - detail, expression, composition, anatomy, dynamics of pose - AND how well the image captures the personality of Rain.
- There are many different sub-categories you could end up placing in, even if you don't win "Overall Best". Each one will have slightly different criteria for winning. These are all explained in the above post.
- If it happens that I feel a person should place in multiple categories, they place only in the highest category possible. Some secondary prizes can double up.

IN GENERAL:
- Colored art is worth more than greyscale.
- A fullbody image is worth more than a headshot.
- A fullbody image with a background is worth more than a fullbody without a background. (By background I mean a landscape - it may be quick or rough but as long as it is a background and not a simple gradient or color fill, it counts)
- Animations are AWESOME, and simply adding a blink, tail swish, or frosty breath will put bonus points on any entry. More complex animations, such as a full run-cycle, would be worth even more.

~*~

Rules
-No blackmail, whining, rude language, etc.
-I will keep ALL art submitted, and may upload the art to a host such as photobucket for safekeeping.
- By submitting art you are agreeing to let me use said art in character threads, galleries, and similar places. I will never claim the art as my own and you will be given credit.
-If you withdraw from the competition before it ends and have already received your "Entry Prizes", you must return the prizes. You cannot withdraw once the winners have been announced.
-Rules subject to change as circumstances present themselves.

If you have ANY questions, feel free to PM me or post them in the thread! =)
