Due date to turn in submissions was changed to the 28th because of a major typo on my end...

Ok applications for the contest are now closed. You can start working on your cover now if you haven't done or finished it yet.


Submissions close March 28st, while on March 14th I will be posting the entry's here on this journal below. If you don't get your submission in by the 28st, you are out. No exceptions or excuses, I gave you a month and a half to complete your covers...


Judging day will happen on the first week of April and will last 2 weeks.


So here is the information you need to know and how to participate.

One last thing to note, this is not all about winning you know, anyone is welcome to apply and do this. Even if they think they don't have a chance at winning or not. So view this as practice for yourself, showing others what you can do, or just to do it to compete. Or all the above lol


Rules and Information

_____________________________________________________________________

What this contest is for: Remaking Comic Covers from my Dragon Ball Z and Sonic the Hedgehog Crossover comic here on deviantART: Sonic the Hedgehog Z. The comic covers eligible for remaking are Issues 3 and 5. The purpose is to get people who are great artists out there and exposed so people know that they are here. The prizes are a bonus besides getting featured. So even if you don't win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, you still will get featured by me as much as I can possibly do.

I'll stop accepting applicants after Sunday, February 22th, 2015 at 12:00 AM PST.

I'll start accepting submissions after Saturday, March 14th 2015 12:00 AM PST. Any Earlier and it won't be accepted until that day has passed. This is to ensure quality and effort was put into the cover.

How to Participate

_____________________________________________________________________

Read all the rules and information, comment below or note me to tell me that you wish to participate. You must tell me which cover you plan to do.

Upon accepting, you must post a journal of you joining in the contest and linking this journal in yours. You must do it within 24 hours of acceptance, otherwise you are removed from the contest. If you have an excuse, tell me in the comments or note and I'll extend your time by another 24 hours.

After all that, you can start working on your cover choice before the due date.

Once you are completed, you may begin submitting your covers to me after March 14th 2015, 12:00 AM PST. If you attempt to submit early, I will decline it until the day listed has passed. Like I said before, this is to ensure that you spent time on your work and no rush it in an attempt to win prizes.

Picking the Winners

_____________________________________________________________________
After all the submissions are gathered, I will post them up in a series of polls to pick the best of the best. The best 10 chosen will be up again in the polls for a week. (5 for each issue)

I'm doing this to remove any bias I may or may not have against or for anyone I know. It will be up to the people to pick.

You are welcome to ask people to vote for you in your own profile, but NOT at the actual poll's themselves... do so and I might revoke your submission.
