Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-30307603-20170723042939



That's right! It's time for those with a knack for visual art to showcase their talents once more! The next art contest is here!

The Purpose
This is the third art contest this year, so I'll try to keep this section as short as possible. In this thread, artists enter their art into the contest. All eligible art submitted to this thread will be forwarded to the voting thread, in which users will vote on which pieces they like the best. The three winning pieces will have their art displayed on the front page.

Now while the photo may suggest that this is strictly a drawing contest (somebody seriously needs to update that), the posibilites of what you can do with your art is endless provided you can contain it all in one still image. Possible styles include, but not limited to:


 * 2D Drawing
 * 3D Models
 * Clay figures
 * Photography
 * Comic panels
 * Posters

Last time we had fifteen elegible entries. Can we beat that number?

The Way (to Submit Your Work)
Submitting your artwork is simple! All you have to do to submit your work is a leave a comment with your artwork uploaded to this wiki.

If you need more information on how to attach art to your comment, please use the following resources:

The Rules
It's everybody's favorite part: rules!


 * I don't care how "spicy" your M-rated fanart of Nicole and Yuki "connecting" may be, under no circumstances will NSFW-content be allowed. Failure to follow this rule results in an instant disqualification and a ban on your account.
 * No plagiarizing! You MUST be the creator of any work you submit. If anybody catches you plagiarizing, you will be disqualified and possibly banned from future events.
 * You are allotted one submission. If you submit more than once, only your most recent submission will be accepted.
 * As of now, the deadline for submissions is August 20th, 2017 at 2:00 P.M. eastern standard time (this website can help you determine what that time is for your timezone). Unless something goes wrong, this is a hard deadline. Under normal circumstances, the thread will be closed, and no more submissions will be accepted, so don't procrastinate.
 * Again, only still images will be accepted. Failure to so will result in a disqualification.
 * Any work submitted to the previous contest may NOT be resubmitted. Failure to follow this rule will result in a disqualification. Sorry guys, you have to submit something new.
 * This should be obvious, but just to drive the point home, any work submitted must Gumball-related.
 * Just be aware that you're riding a slippery slope with original characters that is ultimately under the judgement of me or some other staff member. Nine times out of ten, though, the answer is "no".
 * To reiterate: GUMBALL RELATED
 * Stay respectful. Self-explanatory.

The Votes
More details on voting will be detailed in a future thread. Although, if you voted in previos contests, you already have an idea on how voting works.

The Prize
As previously mentioned, the three art pieces with the highest number of votes will be displayed on the main page. More details to be announced in a future thread.

The Conclusion
Well, that wraps up my long-winded ramble. Please do consider participating if you think you have the artistic talent. It's always fun to see how different artists choose to portray the Gumball world.
