spring Jan/Feb/Mar Graphics Contest Announcement

[Jalana]

We are proud to present you a new round of the "Starbase 118: Graphic contest".

In this contest we recognize the amazingly talented artists we have among our membership. If you like to be artistic at any level, join in the fun.

The theme of this round will be "My favourite things"! Now that can be anything, be it actual items, people, places, food, ships, groups or whatever pops into your mind. Let your imagination run wild.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• The theme must be included, it's part of the challenge
• The submitted work has to be done by you.
• Any kind of graphic style is allowed. You can paint, use 3D renders, mix different source images, make collages, manipulate photos etc. as long as the final work is completely yours.
• Everyone can submit one image
• The image must be within the Star Trek Universe, how you show that is on you.
• Please add your name (your primary character which we identify you with) in the lower corner as a signature
• Image size: At least 600*450 pixel but not bigger than 675*900 pixel and staying in these proportions (either horizontal or vertical, by your choice)
• Submission deadline is March 23nd
• To submit the image, start a new thread in this contest forum, that way we do not have to dig for it

Now of course you might wonder what you have from all this, apart from a lot of fun and being able to show off your artistic side.

• The winner and runner up will receive a badge for his forum signature/Wiki page
• The winner will be announced in the news on the website
• We will build a gallery page of all entries with special featuring of the winners, and display the images on our Deviantart page
• And the winner will also receive an IC surprise, which we don't want to spoil.

Yes, you read that right, winners - plural.

To include everyone, we differ between two categories:

• People: creation of characters, aliens, merging of people with backgrounds, scenes etc.
• World-building: creation of planets, landscapes, ships, galaxy scenes, technology etc.

Each category will have its own winner!

Eager to get started? Your mind full of images that want out? Well then ready, set, GO!

If you have any questions, please post them here. Who knows, someone else might have the same.
