This is the start of something great. We are going to start with a trial of a Redemption art contest this month.
RULES
only 1 entry per person in a category
Art needs to be a minimum size of 600 x 600 at 300 dpi.
Do not submit any art that isn't yours under your own name. that is plagiarism, and you will no longer be allowed to submit to any future art contest if that is found to be true.
any found art needs to be public domain.
all art should be emailed to redemptionartcontest@gmail.com (include your forum name)
you have 30 days from the original post to add artwork. After that none will be accepted.
please remember, keep graphic content to a minimum. The art may be used one day for redemption cards, so if it wouldn't go on a card, don't submit it.
Art will be posted in another thread later to be voted on.
when art is posted later, please do not downvote other peoples art. up vote any that you like, but do not downvote.
THIS MONTHS THEME
This month, there will be two categories.
Living things (Angels, demons, people, animals, etc.)
Non living things (Weapons, cities, places, etc.)
PRIZES
A generous person has been kind enough to help with prizes. If there are 5 or more people in a category, the winner will receive a COW pack!
any questions, please ask below.

Couple things.

1) 600x600px is too small for print quality artwork.
2) 30 days is a pretty small timeframe for a quality art piece.
3) a $5 pack of cards is a pretty insignificant prize for all the work that goes into art creation.

the packs were donated anonymously. for the first few, at the very least, there wasn't going to be a prize until, at the very least, it had complete support. this is just a trial run. and the size I got directly from Gabe when I asked him about anything that needed to be specific for if the art was used for cards.

I just want to remind people that you are able to put something into both categories.Only one entry has been received so far, and it would be great if we could get a lot more people to enter.

I just want to remind people that the prizes are only going to be given out if there are at least 5 entries in a category. we still only have one entry so far.

1. How big do you think a Redemption card is?
2. 30 days is the perfect timeframe to have a competition each month.
3. The prize is an extra, the incentive is to potentially have your art on a Redemption card and/or to support a game you love.

Sure, disregard what I said. We'll see how many art pieces are submitted in 30 days for a pack of cards.

At this point, the guidelines were discussed with Gabe. It might get adjusted if there isn't enough art work,or it might get changed in a different way (such as the theme being announced for August in June, like a magazine I know does it). This isn't anything set in stone. it is just a trial run that people were kind enough to donate packs for a winner.
