Now we're open to all submissions dedicated to TLJ and DF - related to April, or not!


07/12/09 - UPDATE:

Hello there. I'm back, I know I was away, I know you waited longer than expected and so on and on and on. Why that happened is written in my journal, if you're too curious... The contest has ended, the results will be soon. Just one question: would you like me to judge the contest, or "independent" judges? Or both? It really doesn't matter to me.
------------------------------------------


Subject:

The main theme: April Ryan. Everything else is up to you. You can recreate your favourite part from the games, you can make up a situation by yourself, you can get inspiration from fanfics. You can make it happy, sad, funny, dramatic, romantic... what suits you best

Mediums:

Whatever you wish: Drawing/painting - digital and traditional, Photomanipulation (there are specific rules for photo-manips, see them below), Photography (Maybe you even spot the real April Ryan somewhere in the street), Literature - prose and poetry, all kinds of crafts. Whatever.

Attention! Those who want to make manipulations, must consider this: You may NOT use the concept art from the game, wallpapers, posters and anything similar. Though I do give permission to use the screenshots BUT, if so, the image you've captured must go through MAJOR changes. Capturing the screen image and then just adding a few effects won't be considered as your work.
P.S. For now I'm the only judge, so I'll decide whether those changes are enough or not Though I might ask someone else to help me judging though.. You know, to be more objective

Rules:

1. Of course, you must put April as the main figure of your creation, although you may include as many characters as you like.
2. Naturally, your deviation must obey all the rules of DA.
3. No mature content.
4. Entries must be new, created for this contest.
5. You can send as many entries as you like, but you'll be only one-time winner
6. The contest is for club members only. (Nothing stops you to join if you're not a member, of course.)
