The Smogon Monthly Art Contest!
The Monthly Art Contest (MAC) is a long-standing tradition in Smeargle's Studio, dating back to 2010. Each month, a new themed contest begins. Submissions are open for a number of weeks, after which a poll will open and users can vote for their favourite entries. All entries must follow the theme set by the moderator in charge, and winning entries will receive prizes!
Rules
1. All global forum rules apply.
2. Submissions must follow the theme of the current contest to be eligible.
3. No plagiarism. Participants caught tracing or passing another's work off as their own will be disqualified from the current MAC, and permanently banned after a repeat offense.
4. Comments and criticisms are welcome, but posts such as "This one is definitely going to win/lose!" or "This sucks!" will be deleted, and such posts may get you warned.
5. Avoid spamming the thread excessively.
6. Voting for yourself in the poll is prohibited, and persons caught doing so will have their entry revoked. Likewise, do not create multiple accounts to vote.
7. Submissions should be no larger than 1000 by 1000 pixels.
8. Any sort of visual art is acceptable as a submission as long as it fits the theme. This includes, but isn't limited to: traditional art, digital art, sculptures and food. If you've got any doubts about whether your submission is acceptable, feel free to PM me about it.
9. We welcome suggestions for themes! To suggest a theme, PM @elcheeso or @princessofmusic.
Prizes
Following the end of each contest, the 1st and 2nd place winners will be featured with full critique in The Smog, as well as on Smogon's Facebook page and the Art of Smogon Twitter. In addition, the 1st place winner will receive a custom title on the forums.
Have fun and good luck!
