Hey there!

Thanks for your inquiry- you asked some good questions.

Once we hit the deadline, the admins in our group will decide the winners. 

I, personally, have judged several contests and there are many ways to fairly decide a winner.  I will be asking all admins in our group for their opinions and we will collectively decide who our winners will be.  I want to make it as fair as possible- meaning that who made the deviation will be irrelevant- we will judge on the art itself, it's quality, how to applies to our theme and creativity.

I must say that this may take a few weeks before a decision is made.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reply or you are welcome to send me a note.

Have a great night!

LachlanWeber [2014-03-18 08:33:51 +0000 UTC]

Is an updated version of an old deviation allowed.
I have a poem that I wrote a while ago but am I allowed to submit an updated version that is half old and half new?

You can do this in the comment section.

Coltemonison In reply to prettyflour [2014-03-17 00:56:36 +0000 UTC]

So you mean that I have to say ""Lady of the dark" for Nightmare contest" in the comment section in the link you provided above?

prettyflour In reply to Coltemonison [2014-03-17 11:03:19 +0000 UTC]

Oh!  If you'd like an example, take a look in our group's gallery, and then in the Nightmare Contest folder- you can look at the comments in the other entries to see what I mean.

Coltemonison In reply to prettyflour [2014-03-18 05:05:27 +0000 UTC]

Okay, I think I got it. So do I have to re-submit the artwork again or you can now add it to the folder?

prettyflour In reply to Coltemonison [2014-03-18 18:46:21 +0000 UTC]

Have you already submitted it to the Contest folder?

Coltemonison In reply to prettyflour [2014-03-19 02:25:13 +0000 UTC]

I did, but it was stopped half way because I didn't put mention the Nightmare Contest in the comment section, which I did. So do I have to re-submit it?

Not in the comment section of our group, but the comment section of YOUR deviation.  Does that makes sense?

Would Fan-Fictions be okay, or is that a no-no? Because if it is, I have no problem writing something with original characters.

prettyflour In reply to Fictasy [2014-03-03 21:24:09 +0000 UTC]

Fanfiction would be fine as long as you credit the creator of the original.
