Besides the judges.....lol

Anyways The Fanfic should be 800-1000 words.....and less than 750 and more than 1,150 will see points off.....I will also put this in the first post. Also I PM'd 2 more people today trying to get the last person in.....no luck so far. Lets hope I can announce the challenge by tonight.

BR does the fan-fic have to be Pokemon related?
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Let me make this CRYSTAL clear for everyone....(I'll add this to the first post also)

EVERYTHING SUBMITTED IN PROJECT CUSTOM'S COMPETITION MUST BE POKEMON RELATED.

If you submit something that isnt, you will get an automatic 0 as your score.

Thanks,
-Black Rayquaza

Project Custom will begin tonight with the unvailing of the First Challenge and some backround info. The first challenge will be due next Friday February 16th. The judges will judge the submitted works and send theyre scores to me ASAP. I will average the scores and post them as soon as I get them from all judges. One person will be out. Challenge Two will start that Monday.

Thanks,

PS - *very late* Thanks for the invite, BR!
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Hopefully B-Ray will post the Round One Info tonight, I know he's busy right now, so it may not be until late.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Well, Im here and things are kicking off now!

Welcome to Project Custom, The Elite Fan Creations Tournament! I am the head judge and creator of Project Custom, Black Rayquaza. Let me run over some quick things about the tournament

Things to know coming into the 1st Challenge (Some Rules)
  • This is full of Pokebeach's best artists....the judges will judge honestly, so put all you've got into this.
  • All entries must be pokemon related....anything that isnt will be given an automatic 0 and that gives you a great chance of being out.
  • At the start, there are 16 Artists, with 2-3 possibly adding to the list. I've decided that since there is so many, in this challenge not just one, but Two artists will be out.
  • Challenge #1 officially starts at 11:00 PM EST on February 9th 2008. Challenge #1 will end Friday, February 15th 2008 at 11:00 PM EST. Any artsits that havent turned in their work will be given an automatic 0. If there is a good excuse we will take it one day late. Thats why its due on Friday. The entrys will be judged the next day, and will be posted by Monday February 18th at the VERY LATEST. Challenge #2 will begin that day and run till February 24th that Sunday.....most challenges will run Monday-Sunday, but dont be suprised if they run a different schedule. There are 7 judges and 16 artists we have to accomidate...so please work with us here.
  • All work must be submitted in this thread.....If you are finished early (in this challenge before Thursday, most others before Saturday) you can post it early and gain +1 Point to your score for giving the judges extra time. NO OTHER BONUS POINTS WILL BE OFFERED. Please dont rush, but if your done and happy with it, feel free to turn it in!
  • I, personally, will be checking the work for flaws. I will take comments and scores down and sent a copy to each of the judges as something to consider when they judge. Most judges wont look through the Magnifcation Lens to see if you were off....I am, and will. Like I said, this is the Elite Fan Creations tournament. I expect perfection.
  • We have Seven judges....each will give a score out of 60. I will add them all up, divide by 7, and give each artist an average score out of 60. The Artist with the Highest average will be named the winner of this challenge. Not only that, but you will gain immunity from being out for the next Challenge. Please note that incompete work will be void from your immunity....you still have to do the challenge to be safe.
  • Each artist will be given a vacation week....what this means, is if you are going to be gone from Pokebeach Forums, you can SKIP a challenge. This dosent apply to the last 4 Challenges leading up to the Final 3. If you are caught on Pokebeach Forums in that vacation week, you will be given a 0 for this challenge instead of being exempt. This isnt a blowoff week for a challenge you cant do. This is if your really going to be gone....I will check last visit.
  • Please Read these to the fullest and enjoy the tournament....I hope this becomes very popular and we can continue this.

I told you things about the game could change in an instant....fortunately for you, they're not this challenge.

Your Challenge is:Submit a piece of art that refects you as an artist.

This Art can be any kind of fanart (TC, Banner,Fake Card, Avatar,Sprite,Custom Work, Fanfic (please refer to first post regarding length) and any other art. REMEMBER IT HAS TO BE POKEMON RELATED.)
Im telling you now, userbars and pokecharms Trainer Cards will give you the lowest scores of the bunch....they will be accepted, but dont expect to get far in the tournament. Remember this is due on Friday February 15th 2008.

Let Project Custom:BEGIN!

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

But useful.....I figure mine as well make it as simple as possible so we can tell whos here to play.....anyways, good luck!

RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

This sounds good and the rules are well contructed and thought out, but I have one concern.

I'm not saying that someone in this contest would be low enough to steal another's ideas, but instead of us posting our final works in this thread, I think it would be better to PM our finished product to you (or whoever is in charge) so that people that do their entries at the "last minute" or the like don't look at a submitted piece of work and then take an idea that the submitter used and use it on their own piece.

Basically, I'm wanting our works to remain secret until the final scores are given. When the final scores are posted, the works will be posted along with it. That way, everyone is on even playing fields and there won't be any flaming about one person stealing another's idea. I personally don't believe it will be a huge issue, but even small issues need to be considered, as even the unimaginable has been known to happen.

Anyways, that's just my concern. It would certainly make me feel more comfortable in this contest.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

That was my original idea, Wes....however I chose not to do it by PM as my PM box would get full like it did yesterday (60 PM's in a day) and I/the artist would have to PM ALL THE JUDGES. Instead, I added this little thing called ORIGINALITY to it. While Im speaking for myself, Im sure all judges would dock all 10 points of originality AND overall points if there was a noticeable enough simularity between the two....lets try it this way now....if this happens I'll switch it to PM.....that seems fair.

Thanks for the concern,
-Black Rayquaza
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Are we allowed to use images from sites like suta-raito?
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Yep....but for this tournament Please include where you got your supplies from....I'll add this to the first post also.

For example.

B-Rays Avatar.

As long as you tell us where it came from then your all clear....although *SPOILER* all resources WILL NOT be available for some challenges in the future.

EDIT: Added info to FIRST POST. Read it.
 
RE: Project Custom-The Elite Fan Creations Tournament BY INVITATION ONLY!

Just one question,... is it required to make an avatar 20kb MAX, or not?! And can we replace the stuff we already posted, for something else before the due?

~Ôrc~
