Alright, so here's the deal. It's 12:24am EST and I'm bored. I don't have school today and I need something to do with my life. Not to mention I think this is the first contest of 2010? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) So I'm making a spriting contest for the members of BMGf. Anyone can enter so long as you don't get banned before the end of the contest. (Because obviously if you get banned, you won't be here to accept your prize.) So here's the run down of what the contest categories are.

Pokémon Splices/Fusions
The typical thing in many sprite contests. You take two or more Pokémon and splice/fuse them together.
Entrants: GoldenMuk (x2), Valkenhayn, Kaguya (x2), `Kingdra (x2), Blazaking EX (x2), Aiko Heiwa (x2), Choatix (x2), MFreak, ghaskan (x2), IHerdULiekMudkipz (x2), Jaxon (x2), PyroChic (x2), atmeydetective, Spiny, Thunder410, alexjuuhh, PlatinumDude, ToadDude (x2)

Pokémon Recolors
You take a Pokémon and recolor it. Simple as that.
Entrants: GoldenMuk (x2), Valkenhayn, The Golden Tyranitar (x2), Kaguya (x2), Vasili1097 (x2), Luxio~Girl~Devin, Ccal, ghaskan (x2), Jaxon (x2), IHerdULiekMudkipz (x2), PyroChic (x2), atmeydetective (x2), PlatinumDude (x2), Thunder410, alexjuuhh, Axle Helios (x2), Poke~Gal (x2), ToadDude (x2)

Pokémon Scratch Sprites
Create your own Pokémon from scratch. If there's any parts from an already existing Pokémon, it's disqualified already. Keyword is scratch, guys. Make it your own work.
Entrants: Jaxon (x2), IHerdULiekMudkipz (x2), atmeydetective, Junglebook (x2), NyaChan, Powered*Devin

Pokémon Revamps
Revamp a Pokémon sprite. Simple as that.
Entrants: Vasili1097 (x2), Aiko Heiwa (x2), MFreak, Choatix (x2), ghaskan, Jaxon (x2), atmeydetective, IHerdULiekMudkipz (x2)

Pokémon Devamps
Devamp a Pokémon sprite. I don't think this can get anymore simple.
Entrants: Kaguya (x2), Vasili1097 (x2), `Kingdra (x2), Aiko Heiwa (x2), ghaskan (x2), Jaxon (x2), atmeydetective, Axle Helios, alexjuuhh

Lineless Sprites
Make a lineless sprite. It looks like a plushie, for the record. At least, I think it does, anyways.
Entrants: Jaxon (x2), ratminer (x2), flamealex1, Axle Helios

Overshades
Make an overshaded sprite. Duh. Basically, you make it look more 3Dish & all. There's an explanation on page 7 if you want a better one than I'll ever give.
Entrants: Jaxon (x2), Junglebook

Trainer Sprite Edits
Formerly Trainer Splices/Fusions. Edit a trainer sprite. Post it. You're in.
Entrants: The Golden Tyranitar, `Kingdra, ghaskan, Blazaking EX (x2), Jaxon (x2), GoldenMuk (x2), MFreak, Powered*Devin, NyaChan (x2), ratminer (x2), Aiko Heiwa, kaleidoscope (x2), alexjuuhh, Poke~Gal

Trainer VS Sprites
Honestly, I don't think I've seen these used in a contest before, haha. So anyways, you can either create your own VS Sprite from scratch or recolor another character's VS Sprite. As long as it's a VS Sprite, I'm not entirely concerned here.
Entrants: Blazaking EX (x2), Jaxon (x2), Choatix, NyaChan (x2), Aiko Heiwa, Powered*Devin, kaleidoscope (x2), alexjuuhh, Poke~Gal

Trainer Scratch Sprites
Again, you make a trainer sprite from scratch. No parts from another existing trainer involved or it's disqualified.
Entrants: Jaxon (x2), MFreak (x2), ratminer, Powered*Devin, electroalex01

Custom Secret Bases
So you make your own secret base. Complete with furniture & all that nice stuff. They can be generation 3 or 4.
Entrants: Jaxon (x2), electroalex01 (x2)

And of course, no contest is a contest without rules. :)

Rules!
1. Up to two entries per person per category. For example, Person A puts in two entries for Pokémon Recolors. Person B puts in one entry for Trainer Scratch Sprites. Person A can't put any more entries into Pokémon Recolors, but they can put up to two more entries into any other category. Person B can still put another entry into Trainer Scratch Sprites.
2. Make your own stuff. Do NOT go and nag Moises or whoever the hell else makes sprites to make you one for this contest. If I suspect that your entry was requested by one of the BMGf sprites, you'll be disqualified if the sprite was made by another BMGf spriter. And trust me, I can find this stuff out one way or another. ;)
3. Suggestions for categories? Either post them in this thread or VM them to me & if I like the suggestion, I'll be sure to add it.
4. Any further comments, questions, or concerns can be VM'd to me or posted in this thread and I'll get to them as soon as possible.

And now here's the deal with judges. I'll be judging entries, obviously. This is my contest. However, I'd also like 3 other judges to assist me (& because I like second opinions, haha). So if you'd like to judge in this contest, DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD. VM me & we'll discuss. Oh. & if you judge, you can't enter. ...That usually results in you voting for yourself & no one likes that, tee hee.

Judges!
1. Felly.
2. Moises.
3. flareon4ever.
4. X-Scissor.

And now for prizes. I'm obviously not giving out monetary prizes or anything of that sort. Instead, the top 3 winners from each category will get a graphic of some sort, made by Felly herself, indicating that they won the contest and all of that nice stuff. And I'll use the winning sprite in it & all of that nice stuff. The prize will be PM'd to you unless I can miraculously somehow make it before the closure of the contest.

Deadline for the contest: March 31st, 2010. The deadline will not be extended unless extenuating circumstances apply to Felly or any of the other 3 judges.

Hey there. Um how would I go about entering your contest? I like the sound of the splice and recolour contests
 
Wow. I can't believe I left out a whole "HOW TO ENTER" section. That's what happens when you type that up after midnight while sick.

Well, anyways, to enter, you just make your entry and post it in THIS THREAD. Once I see it, I'll add your username to the first post & you're in! Oh. And if you could specify in your post with your entry what category it's in, that would be lovely. Actually, I'd kinda like for you to do that to make my life easier. xD
 
I would be very happy to judge if possible. :) And maybe we could make it DDAS-related? (just a thought. :p)
 
Sure, you can judge, Moises. :) You can stick around and look at entries till the contest ends & all that nice stuff.

& as for making it DDAS related, we'll discuss that via VMs. :)
 
I would like to join the Recolor & the Fusion brackets please.

If it's ok.
 
These are my entries for the splice contest




And my entries in the re-colour category




I hope you like them.
 
Alrighty. Adding you to the first post now, GoldenMuk.

For future reference, guys, you don't have to ask to enter. Just post your entry(ies) and what category it goes in & you're good. :)

Edit: Can we change the entry if we got a better one next time?
 
Kaguya, I've got yours. & yes, you can change the entries as long as you tell me which one you're changing (or editing your original post works too) so that I don't have to hunt you down once the deadline hits about what your entries are. But changes are allowed up until the deadline. Any changes after that won't count.
 
I would like to judge if that's OK!!!! I've been spriting for a couple of years.
 
Alright, flareon4ever, you can judge. :) I'mma add you as soon as I finish this post.

More entrants would be lovely. Spread the word to your spriting friends, guys! :D And I still need one more judge. :3
 
Thanks <note to self: get on bulbawiki forum on the day that judging begins>. PM me when judging starts. I'm on here pretty much every day!
