So we're going to have regular Artsy Competitions for all you creative folk out there! We have no specific regularity to them right now, ie not monthly, not weekly, whatever. For now we're just going to start the competition with a certain theme, make a soft deadline so we can close it early or late depending on activity, have a forum-wide vote for the winner and then start a new one with a different theme.
At the moment, there's no specific medium for the competition. You can submit digital art, poetry, drawings, anything artistic and it will be counted. This is so that everybody has a chance to play their strengths. Another reason for this is because if we split the competition up into different mediums, there may only be a couple of entries per section.
The winner for each competition will receive: * One unit of 'Reward'! That is, whatever reward we concoct for our referral system. * Their piece on the front page * Their piece in the winners thread * Possibly their piece featured on the pogotribe channel * Their piece put onto the SPOTM DeviantArt Page
All of the above is custom to change and we would love your input on how we should tweak it. After every round there'll be things we need to change, since we're not sure how exactly this is going to pan out, so your opinion at each step would be awesome. Post your suggestions as a reply to this thread!

I would also like to say that this is a pretty cool idea. I have no suggestions as of now.
I will have a hard time deciding what to submit... O.o

I like this idea. Sounds very interesting and it'll keep people awake and active around here. Art is awesome, ye know. Btw, why isn't this thread stickied? Or is it? Let me check.

I really, really like this idea. Art rocks.
The only thing that I worry about is the different mediums. It may become difficult to compare poetry, sketches and digital art, as each medium has its upsides and downsides. But we'll see. For now, I'd say just keep all mediums in one vote. If it becomes apparent that this is a problem, we might have to break up into different votes.

That's pretty much exactly what we were thinking and exactly what we're going to do =)
