Event Details:

The idea of this event is pretty simple. You are competing in basic 'sudden death knockout' tournament style matches divided into successive rounds, where the winner of each match advances to the next round of the competition. Each round will be assigned a "theme" to what the image should surround, this is just to provide a direction, use your own imaginations on how you would like to represent this theme as you like. As the rounds progress, the number of competitors and fixtures decreases, and the final round consists of just one fixture, the winner of which is the overall champion.

The entries progress through public voting. Voting will take place on the forums - The popular vote will account for 60% of the final decision, so even if you're not entering, you're still needed as every vote counts! A board of carefully selected judges (You might be supprised!) will contribute the final 40%.

To participate, entries may be submitted via Forum PM. While entering, please provide an easy method of contact along with a preliminary example of your work, so we are aware of what you are capable of. Entry requires members to have either a Classic, VIP or Gold account, and they must be registered to the Graal Forums.

A total of (3) qualified contestants will receive prizes. See listing below for exact prizes and their descriptions. The (3) Prize Winners' submissions in association with the winners' names will be displayed on the official web site (http://www.graalonline.com) as well as here.

Please be sure to check this thread from time to time as the contest progress will be updated here.

- Good luck!

sounds great, good luck to everyone.

i wish we could have one of these for LATs :(

Awesome. I'm already registered right?

edit: Also I hope this doesn't just turn into a popularity contest where people vote on someone solely because they are friends with them or because they got bribed, or whatever.

Also... are you going to try to prevent the same person from voting multiple times on different accounts? Because technically if someone was really wanting to win they could get like 30 accounts and that's 30 extra votes for them. =P

Theres no way to tell if thats happening, but I guess if the judges see that people are voting for him and its like the same IP or w/e, They'll disqualify him.

I think we have to reregister :p

Can we also see a picture of the trophy?

i'd tak u out

Crono for the winner!

o hel no i wud kik ur ass...lets register LOL

Haha, I can imagine the more the merrier :redface:.

If you win it though you can give me your prize, you owe me it :frown:

i wont win and even if i somehow manage to come up with the best peice the world has ever seen, i'd donate it to someone more worthy/refuse the prize :P

If I can enter, anyone can!


What am I getting myself into? :(

To be owned hard. :oo:

You all know I'm going to win this, right?


*whistles*

hanopwntplx

All original entries all still active correct?

I resubmitted, just too show some of my work, even though Tom's probably seen them lol :P

I already know who the top 5 will be: Elk, Alarid, Draenin, Stephen, and myself.. Sorry to all you other contestants ;) .

i hate people who ride on ego rainbows...people like you. i hope you lose.

as for the topic at hand, i pmed tom...he didnt respond yet. hope i get someone easy :(

I'd be ur opponent but I didn't enter :{

You still have time.

60% popularity crono wins! that would be hilarioius! :D

This sounds like a good idea, good luck people. (If I entered, you'd see something with a slight resemblance to a piece of corn)

I'm not entering. >_<

ho ho ho
:D

::starts to doodle something::

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out a system on how to do it without things becoming biased and false. I know that there is going to be a panel of unbiased judges, all of which will be a supprise, I just hope they decide to stick around after :D

Yeah, I think you have to resubmit with a piece of work like Luda said.

You never know ;)

What? Corn is good :frown:

...Moon Goddess, Sam, Bjorn, Bell, Stefan, Zero Hour? :O

No, lol.

People who posted in the other thread about joining the competition, please PM me and send work :)

Anyway, who's applied?

Here here!

Do you have to Pm Tom with the Graphics?!

What you do is PM Tom an example of your work. I think it's probably best if you read the first post to be honest, just so you know what's coming up.
