SOTM 2008 - February (Ecchi) - Entry Phase
Welcome to the Signature of the Month Contest!!!!!! __________________________________________________ _________________ This thread is for submissions into the Signature of the Month contest. Contest Rules are as follows: 1. Every contest will have a theme. Each contestant can choose their own renders, as long as they comply with Animesuki guidelines (if you even think it's going to be reported to the mods, don't bother...even as a joke). Themes cannot be picked twice in a row. This months entry period starts today and lasts until Friday, February 15th, 2008. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on Sunday, February 17th, 2008. Voting will end on the following Sunday.*** The theme for this months contest is "Ecchi". The winner of this contest will decide the theme for next months contest. __________________________________________________ _______________ Entries can either be private messaged or posted in the submission thread. The submission thread can also be used to post works in progress to gather feedback from other posters. You do not have to post your entries in the thread if you don't wish to (for those who want to be private about what they are working on), until the last day of submissions. The whole idea is to promote quality entries but it's not required to submit early if you are confident in your entry but want to keep your submission secret until the due date. I will periodically update the thread to keep track of the names of all contestants and list those names here. Those who wish to keep entries private until the due date should still inform me they are entering so I can keep track of who is competing. If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them here or private message me, I'll do my best to answer. Good luck and most importantly, have fun! ***Edit: A word about time zones*** Someone messaged me and brought up an excellent point/question. What exactly is the "time" entries are due? Well, that was one of the reasons I left a day gap. In world time, anyone who lives in the "East" (Australia, Japan, China, etc.,) is almost a full day ahead of those who live in the "West" (Canada, United States, Brazil, etc.,). This poses a problem of when exactly entries are due by time. There is no real way to solve that problem without being unfair in some fashion. So here's the solution: The due date ends at 11:59 (midnight basically) (American) Central Standard time. The polling will be up one day later after 11:59 (again, midnight). So the dates still stand, but I am clarifying the specific time. I will try to be as lenient as I can with last minute submissions but only slightly. It is up to you as a contestant to know what your time zone is in relation to (American) Central Standard time. I cannot do this for you. Here is a site that can help you figure that out: http://www.timeanddate.com Hopefully that won't be an issue for too many people.

This post is for keeping track of who has submitted an entry into the contest. I will consider these entries official unless told otherwise by the contestant. Remember that you are allowed to revise your signature until the due date, so if you decide to change anything, just let me know. ______________________________________ Entries received so far:

There are currently no rules stating that the previous winner can't enter again. Just that no theme can be used twice in a row. Should KG win again, she would have to pick a different theme.
I really don't want to create handicaps or start adding rules to prevent multiple wins. It takes the fun out of it. I feel we have enough talented people here that everyone has a chance at winning.
