Welcome

 

Welcome everyone to the first SOTW for Alora, that I know of.  First the introduction of the competition I'll be hosting a "Open" event for any type of Tag to be created.

I've taken it upon myself to do this on behalf of my lack of "activity" where it should count, I'm usually the quiet person.  Anyone is welcome and yes, there will be a reward.

I personally think Signature of The fortnight would be a better idea, but nonetheless, I'm glad to see a graphic design competition finally being hosted - hope to see it become an official thing in the near future. Thanks for hosting, Learn, and good luck to all participants.

It's probably going to end up being every two weeks depending on how its received if more people become interested I may host them once a week, if everyone isn't submitting on time or not voting in time Itll stay every two weeks.

Bi-weekly does make more sense as it gives participants enough time to submit entries and get through the voting process. It’s nice to see these kinds of events being hosted on the forums. Looking forward to seeing the entries!

Yeah dude definitely.

Like I said it's probably going to stay bi-weekly.  

 

I as well am excited to see the entries, I have mine cooked already and she's a spicy one.

Is there a certain amount of participants/entries needed in order to go through to voting? Obviously not 1, and surely not 2? I would suggest 3-4+.

I mean however many there are at the closing of the submission stage and if anyone wants an extension I can extend it, this being the first event isn't a big deal for time constraints.

Very cool idea maybe we should tag some GFX artists in here I can't do anything with art beside making Instant noodles.

Don't be discouraged from trying, anyone is welcome and no one is discredited for lack of ability to do anything.
