NOVEMBER CONTEST: TOGETHER

[Chip Valecek]

November's prompt is: Together.

This one is from @Lee-White .

This time we are doing something a little different. We are gonna do TWO critique arenas, our traditional one and an all star one. Same prompt for both.

All the same rules and procedures apply for the traditional one, EXCEPT that all the previous winners of 2020 will not take part. Instead, the previous winners will be invited to the all star contest, and will battle for cash prizes.

For those competing in the traditional critique arena, that means better chances at getting a critique and winning a seat, as our previous winners will not be part of the competition.

For those competing in the all star critique arena, that means a chance at winning cash money! The top 3 win cash, $100 for 3rd, $200 for 2nd and $300 for 1st.The contest is open to anyone. But the winners and runners up will only be selected from active SVS members.

Post only finished pieces here. Post WIP projects in their own thread.

Put your real name and forum name on the image somewhere (can be on a border if you like). If you are an all star please also email your image to cvalecek@gmail.com so I can create the slide show for just the All Stars.

great idea!

[braden H]

Oh neat! Great way to shake things up a bit

[Heather Boyd]

This is a really really nice change for both sides. I hope this gets done again next year because I'm not sure I can squeeze in another work -as I pushing myself in the childhood/slowvemebr work.

This looks like it's going to be interesting

@Chip-Valecek not sure if i got it wrong so i just ask. will the winners of the normal run be part of the allstar arena?

[Coley]

What a great idea!

[Denise Tonner]

@Chip-Valecek
great idea!

[Chip Valecek]

@Molambo what do you mean by normal run? If you are one of the winners from any of the critique arena in 2020 you are considered and all star. Your submission would be entered into the all star critique arena. If you didn't win, then you would be in the normal monthly critique arena. I hope that helps.

@Chip-Valecek what file size is best for this? I will most likely be submitting from iPhone. Thanks

[James Toogood]

This should be interesting, im looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

[Chip Valecek]

@powsupermum the forum will limit the size of the upload. I forget what the max is but i would keep it under a 1MB if possible.

[Miranda Branley]

Are they going to be at the same time? I'd like to watch both! And is Lee critiquing both of them? I think this solves a lot of issues that I had felt with it. I stopped participating because I felt like it was unfair since everyone was in a different spot in skill, but I love this idea! Hopefully it works smoothly.

@Miranda-Branley hi! The traditional and all star Critique Arenas are going to be held a week apart, the traditional will be on Dec 10, and the all star will be on Dec 17. Not sure yet who will be judging, but it's safe to say that Lee will be on deck for at least one of them. Hopefully it goes smoothly, but it's a first for us, so just know that anything can happen We'll do our best!
