Odd Little Contest

I kind of like this new journal system... And I kind of hate it too. But I'm not sure how to turn it off. Or alter it in any way. So just bare with me, I guess. I can't alter the alignment. And I'm not sure if I can put in scroll boxes anymore... This is really odd.

Anyway, I mostly started up this journal entry so as to alert you all that I am starting a contest.

The contest deals with this picture.

For a limited amount of time, I'm giving you all the chance to download the picture without the watermark. The point of the contest is to color it. However you'd like. With whatever background you'd like. Just know it's a picture of an older Ash and Misty. So I guess color them within reason. No giving Misty green hair.

Unless it's like really awesome green hair.

Anyway, just color it however you'd like. You have until the 1st of April to finish. However I will be willing to give people more time if they need it.

The judging will not be done by me this time. Instead, you all get a chance to vote on which piece you like best, via polls. I'll even allow you to vote for your own piece if you want to. Voting will be anonymous of course. It would be nice for everyone to be honest and vote for others. But there isn't any polling police that will come after you if you do decide to vote for yourself.

I'll talk about voting more when it comes time to for it.

The winners will win . Depending on how many people enter, there may be more than just a first place prize. I haven't decided how much points. The winner will win at least as much as 30 if not more.

And I'm willing to give the main winner a month's paid subscription. Cause that's all I can afford.

Anyway, to enter either note me a link to your piece. Or comment on my wall or journal with a link to your piece. I look forward to all of you submissions! And also if you plan to join, comment on this journal so that I know people are interested and/or working on a submission.

ATTENTION DUELISTS- I mean... TRADITIONAL MEDIUM ARTISTS!!! It's been brought to my attention that the transparency of the picture may cause you problems when you try to print the lineart out. In that case, please just let me know via note that you need a copy of the picture with a plain white background. I will happily post something up temporarily in scraps for traditional artists to use.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
