This thread was approved by Loki, a Super Moderator of Pokecommunity.

Yes, you understand correctly. I, Comic Tragedy, have put together a new graphic contest. The point of this contest is that there is no point besides having fun making graphics. I wanted to make a simple contest where the contestants are encouraged to use ANY form of graphics, rather than being constrained to set guidelines.

Just to get this straight, in this tournament style graphics competition you are able to make anything as long as it is of course digital art. You are aloud to create any type of large piece, small piece or anything in between.

The only catch is that you must come to an agreement with you're opponent as to what medium you will be competing in for you're round of the tournament. For example, say the opponent I was paired up with for round two of our tournament was Dukey. Me and Dukey can come to agreement on any form of graphic medium, regardless of what we did last round, and as long as we both understand the medium's constraints (a tag is small, an lp is large haha).

Another feature of this competition is a prolonged deadline for entering your piece in each round. I really wanted to allow more flexibility for the participants of the contest. Giving them a whole week to find inspiration, and work on their, um, whatever.

How do I join?

Sign ups are officially over.

The contests format

The format of this contest will be very similar to the Handicap Battle's. It will also be a sudden death tournament format. So if you win, you advance, if you lose, you are out of the competition.

After signups I will post the bracket on this thread. Please periodically check the bracket if you want to be moderately aware of when you get to compete.

The voting process

I am quoting CME for this section. I think she laid down the law quite eloquently.
A 48-hour (2-day) voting period will begin immediately after the deadline. All members can vote, except for the two participants of the match. The tournament presider can only vote in the case of a tie.

Members must post a paragraph of at least three sentences about the entry they're going to vote for, and one sentence of constructive criticism for the other entry. It's a pretty simple format so if a member fails to follow it, he/she will be sent a PM by the Tournament Presider and will be given the rest of the voting period to edit his/her vote. His/her vote will be invalidated if it still isn't of the prescribed format by the end of the voting period. (Sorry, chief.) And no playing favorites!

Some voting threads you should check out!

    Contest Announcement!

    I would really appreciate it if all of the contestants took the time to read the entire first post to avoid confusion and complications. I really don't want people to complain about not understanding the contest they entered in suddenly.
