Daily Deviation Competition 2012

Wed Apr 4, 2012, 5:15 PM

Uh-Oh

Cancelled!

WHY?

I have gotten some ideas based off other deviants like `miontre and more. Like him and others, I've gotten tired of people complaining about how the Daily Deviations picked are not good enough. I'll be doing something similar to `miontre, but I'll have you do more. Here are the steps to participate as well as the rules:

Rules, Guidelines, What to Do's, & Pointers

:bulletblue: The first thing I want you to do is :+fav: this article and watch me so you can get more information about how to win!
:bulletblue: Then, find at least 2 deviations from every gallery/category you are comfortable with (you can have more than 2 if you want) that you think is worth a DD (make sure it doesn't have too much exposure - check views and favorites) and suggest to the right Community Volunteer. Also, make sure the deviant hasn't received a DD in at least 6 months. To check, go to their front page and then, in the URL, after the / - type DDs. You'll go right to their DD page.
:bulletblue: Send a note to me after you've suggesting all the pieces to the appropriate CV and wait for my response back. If you're piece does not get picked, you can still win something. Don't worry, I'll get to that soon! ;)
:bulletblue: Don't know how to find pieces to suggest? Go to different deviant's (person A) favorites (preferably famous deviants since they seem to favorite really spectacular art) and look to find something you find DD worthy. Say you find an artist (person B) that has pretty good art, but the person A's favorites only has 
one piece from them. Go check out person B's gallery. ;)
:bulletblue: Make sure to check in with me EVERY month until December! Thank you!
:bulletblue: Any questions? Send me a note titled "DD Comp Q".

DD Points

(DD Points are not deviantART :points:. They are points you can get for a deviation you suggest. It can be used for this competition ONLY! Remember that!)

:bulletblue: Each deviation suggested earns you 2 points. 
:bulletblue: If that deviation gets accepted to be a DD, it equals 6 points.
:bulletblue: If the deviation gets declined by a CV but looks good to me, that'll get you 4 points.
:bulletblue: If the deviation doesn't pass at all, you get 0 points added on, so it remains 2.
:bulletblue: If it's a collaboration, it's double what it would originally get: 
      :bulletred: Accepted to be a DD ~ 12 points.
      :bulletred: Declined by CV, but accepted by me ~ 8 points!
      :bulletred: Declined by both CV and me ~ 4 points!
:bulletblue: Any questions, ask *RTNightmare by note!

Prizes

(Prizes can be won for the following categories: Altogether, Suggested, Accepted, Declined-Accepted, Declined, and Collab. Each is above, in that order. If one person already won one category, then 2nd place will win! No one can win more than once!)

:bulletblue: Altogether ~ 800 :points:!
:bulletblue: Suggested ~ 50 :points:!
:bulletblue: Accepted ~ 200 :points:!
:bulletblue: Declined-Accepted ~ 100 :points:!
:bulletblue: Declined ~ 50 :points:!

Deadlines

:bulletblue: Starts Today (April 4th 2012!) To enter, send a note. Otherwise, you will not be qualified.
:bulletblue: Goes until December 4th 2012 at 12AM! Send a note every month with the deviations you have suggested, etc throughout that month. It makes it easier to track!
:bulletblue: Judging begins December 4th 2012 at 12PM! If you would like to help judge, you can, but you may NOT participate too!
:bulletblue: Winners will hopefully be announced between January 1st and January 4th 2013! :points: will be handed out to the winners soon after! Don't complain about who won.


Participants

If you're name isn't listed, make sure to note me! Also, I will not be listing their score below. That is for me to know only. When the time has come, =Kereska and I will count it all up and judge and we'll announce a winner.


Judges


Any questions?

Send *RTNightmare a note! 

Donations!

Donations are no longer needed, but are welcome! I have over 1,200 :points: now that I collected (plus donations from kind deviants and :points: from my other account), and that is over what I needed...Thank you to everyone who helped!

(This journal was updated from the original 8/31/12!)
Thank you to all who participate!

This has been cancelled. Look here: [link]

Please read ALL of this and spread it around to your friend on deviantART! I *RTNightmare am the one donating everything, so please be good about it. This is coming all from me! ;)

Good luck to everyone! Hopefully this will be very popular and will make everyone happy. If you want me to do something else within the competition or change something, please tell me! I've already changed it once, so please review it again if you haven't before. ;)

Made in Sta.sh!


Thank you!

Okay so in order to participate we first have to suggest a DD for every single category!?

Yes. But I can change that if it's too hard. It was more to help you get used to other categories besides the ones you're already used to.

Well I like that it gets you outside your comfort zone, but I think it might cause a lot of people who would like to otherwise participate to decide not to. We have until December, so I might be able to do it - there are just categories I really can't judge quality on - pixel art and portrait photography, for example.

Okay, I'll change the rules a bit then. Give me time to do so. :)
