*throws confetti into the air*
Contest time!

Me and ~fishydraws are doing a double contest. This means we are both hosting this contest, we will both be judging it and it means double the amount of prizes. And come on, who doesn't want free stuff?!

THEME & STUFF

...I'm pretty sure you could already guess the theme by just looking at the journal...

Yes, the theme is Pokemon.
But not just any Pokemon.

~fishydraws and I both have specific Pokemon we love. You will be given 2 lists of those Pokemon and will have to create artwork including them! I will get more into that a bit further.


THE LISTS

*FrozenNote's favorite Pokemon:

1. Vaporeon
2. The rest of the Eeveelutions
3. Sandslash
4. Flaaffy
5. Dragonair
6. Hypno
7. Charizard
8. Froslass
9. Duskull
10. Mudkip


~fishydraws' favorite Pokemon:

1. Absol
2. Togepi
3. Wooper
4. Flaaffy
5. Misdreavus
6. Lugia
7. Sableye
8. Banette
9. Luxray
10. Uxie


While the first Pokemon is the ultimate favorite, the rest are in NO particular order.

 "WHAT DO I DO WITH THESE LISTS?"

You can draw one pokemon. You can draw 3. Heck, all of them, if you like. But it will always be quality over quantity.
Did I say draw? Not just draw. Paint, sculpt, make CSS/HTML, create a journal skin, be a vandal and make street art - whatever floats your boat!
You can even add us in your artwork, if you like! But for our faces you'd have to note us/me/her.
It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it, as long as it's creative, goes with the theme and is from the list. Let your imagination go!


RULES & ALL THAT

*dodges flaming chair*
I know, I know, now you'll have to go through the same usual contest rules... But please be so kind and do that.

The Rulebook
When you are done with your artwork: submit to deviantArt - leave comment with a link to your work on this journal.
Pretty obvious - no stolen artwork. Unacceptable. Disqualification immediate.
Do not try to bribe us. No nice or not-so-nice mails regarding the judging of your entry.
Add at least one Pokemon from the list in your artwork.
No bases. Just no.
I know I said that you can do whatever floats your boat, but sorry, no literature. It would be impossible for us to judge.
 Artwork should be made for this contest.
In the comments, mention that your artwork is for this contest and link to this journal.
Artwork must be submitted after this journal was created. (18th March)
You must be okay with giving us your address. There are prizes that need to be shipped to you.
Follow deviantArt's rules.
Have fun!

Info on Judging
There will be 3 winners.
You may enter as many works as you like, but you can only place once. (even if you submit more work, you can only win one prize)
We will begin judging right after the deadline. We will gather at my place and start debating and reasoning furiously :I
Artwork will be judged by creativity, originality and quality.

Also, if there are less entries than we are expecting (20+), the prize list can be cut down a bit. We're not rich ._.
