Description Welcome all, to this year’s Summer Contest for 2015. It’s high time that we, as a fandom and family, come together to celebrate the late Monty Oum’s creativity by collaborating on the biggest contest this group has yet seen! Let’s make him proud, people!

This contest will be a little bit different from the Halloween contest. For starters: We will have two categories: fanart and fanfiction! Both categories will be democratically judged separately.

The theme of this contest will be plain and simple: Summer. That’s it! Go wild, or go simple! It can be one character, all of Team RWBY, all of JNPR, a mix, etc. It can be happy, funny, fanservice-y, or horribly depressing! Imagine an elderly Team RWBY enjoying a hot summer’s sunset in their wheelchairs and wrinkles, fondly recalling the days of their youth. Play around with the spectrum of emotions!

Restrictions: Canon characters, who have appeared on screen, only. No gore. No porn. Bikinis won’t be a problem as long as they’re not g-strings with stilettos, haha! Shipping is welcome, just keep it SFW! There will be strict quality control for this contest, as we want the best. If your prose is horrific, it will be denied. If your drawing is a five minute scribble done with your toes, it will be denied. If your best efforts don’t make the cut, then they don’t make the cut; and we can’t do much about that.

Submissions: All pieces of fanart and fanfiction MUST be clearly labeled, stating that it is an entry to this contest. And it must be submitted to the Summer Contest 2015 folder. There will be strict quality control for this contest, as we want the best. If your prose is horrific, it will be denied. If your drawing is a five minute scribble done with your toes, it will be denied. If your best efforts don’t make the cut, then they don’t make the cut; and we can’t do much about that.

Prizes: We, the admins of this group, are starving students; as such, we must call upon the RWBY family to offer up their talents for contributions. We will update this journal occasionally to bring you the latest updates on that. The specifics of prizes will be finalized after we have a good idea of who is offering what. People are welcome to offer prizes as well as participate in the contest!

The Current Prizes are currently-

1.SAmaryllis is generously offering a half body shot of any RWBY character, canon or OC!

2.Final-Boss-Emiko is promising a head shot of any character, RWBY, OC, or non-RWBY for first place AND a chibi drawing for second place!  

3.WhiteAerios is unzipping his purse and throwing out a paypal transfer of 50 USD for first place, 25 USD for second place, 10 USD for third place, as well as 5 USD a piece for fourth and fifth place!

4.Nova-Akiyama is sharpening their stylus, which is a very bad thing to do, and offering a full body shot of a canon RWBY character or a RWBY OC.

5.Nattie-Bug is offering a DIGITALLY DRAWN, full body shot of a single character of any Rooster Teeth show or OC with flat coloring, and a single color background.

6.ShannonMora (our group co-founder!) is offering a digital chibi and watercolor character for first place, a choice of chibi or character for second place, and chibi for third place (RWBY characters or Rooster Teeth people only please!)

7.MarchBunny is offering a full body drawing of any character from any show (or an OC from any show) for first place, a chibi of any character from any show (or an OC from any show) for second place, and one pixel drawing of any character from any show (or an OC from any show) for third place.

8.NemoTheGoblin is willing to do a digital, half body, full color picture with a simple/abstract background of any character/OC from any show.

9.PeachyMatsu wants to do a full body digital drawing of any character from any show both OC and canon for first, second, AND third place!

10. Ravido will donate points! 200 for First, 100 for Second, 50 for Third, and 25 for Fourth as well as Fifth place!


Voting: Democracy shall decide the fates of all entries, as it did for the Halloween Contest. The specifics will be finalized in the immediate future.

The deadline has been extended! You now have until Saturday 29, 11:59 PM! Why this brief extension? Because we are college students, we have college affairs to attend to this week, the first week of the fall semester.

Any and all questions, comments, and prize offerings will be responded to with haste! Best of luck to everyone!

No harm in trying! Besides, even if you don't get it done on time you can still submit it to the appropriate folder!

It should be there, but this isn't the first time someone has had folder issues with this group. If you need to, we can submit it for you.

Just mentioning this here in case it wasn't noticed, since it's so close to the deadline, but I tried to submit a fanfic to the contest folder and I couldn't (it was the only folder without a "submit art" button/option), so I submitted it to the fanfic folder instead (with proper naming etc. of course). Just wondering if it can be moved from there or was there some special way to submit it to the contest folder I didn't notice?

PlatinumDarkside In reply to Ferrene [2015-08-25 06:07:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm having the same problem... Can I put mine in fanfiction as well?

knives4cash In reply to Ferrene [2015-08-25 01:38:48 +0000 UTC]

If it meets the quality control I'll move it for you, don't worry! This contest has a higher bar set than the other folders, and this isn't the first time we've had folder issues. They seem to be very random though, we haven't found any faults in the settings for the group. 

If you keep having folder restrictions, let us know.

25th of August, midnight, CST, 2015 years after the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, located on the planet called Earth, the Earth inhabited by the homo sapient species. They do verily decree that the specified time shall be your deadline. Seize your destiny. Or fade into obscurity, along with countless others.

We set up voting polls on SurveyMonkey and have members vote! Due to limits on survey monkey, we have to do several rounds of voting to get to the top three. Admins also give their personal favorites, just for fun .

You'd better make like Caesar's friends and start stabbing then! Your models look great, I'm sure you'd do well!

Kokoro-Hane In reply to knives4cash [2015-08-07 23:04:57 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I am an MMD user and only edit models, but uh thanks xD
I was thinking more of the lines of drawing or a fanfiction, though not sure if my art makes the quality pass, so fanfiction would be the safest bet for me.

Is it to late to enter? I've been working non-stop for the past week and am almost done...

knives4cash In reply to PlatinumDarkside [2015-07-30 23:42:12 +0000 UTC]

Unless I've been thrown into some sort of time-displacement anomaly, my calendar says it's not the 25th of August, 2015 AD yet. So I guess that means you still have almost a full month. And judging from your previous entries I'd say your talents stand a good chance of scoring some prizes!

PlatinumDarkside In reply to knives4cash [2015-07-31 20:37:25 +0000 UTC]

Well thats good news! For some reason I had it worked into my brain that it ended August and I was rushing to finish... Aside from the Volumes I think this is one of the biggest projects I've done so I'm happy to hear that I don't have to rush...! 😅 Thank you very much! 😁

knives4cash In reply to Black-S-T-A-R [2015-07-20 03:26:10 +0000 UTC]

So long as it met the theme of summer as well as passed quality control, I do believe you'd be golden.

You can submit as many deviations as you desire! As long as they meet the quality control standards and don't cross that line between fanservice and porny.
