Ok, here we go.
The rules:
- No ripping!
Ripping is bad and will result in being kicked from the contest immediately.
- Entries must include a psd file
This prevents a little from ripping and it's easier to see what techniques were used, something quite important when rating an image.
You can send me each psd through email if you can't host it.
Of course it's also expected you post a normal image file on the forums so others can see what you made.
This means an entry consists of a normal image file (jpg, png), a photoshop file (psd) and (if specified in the round) files used to make the artwork.
Only 2 rules, should be easy right?

Round 12: Twilight voting most popular
All Twilight users can vote the GFX artist they think did best in this competition. This contestant will get the public award. (Not sure if this will be anything but at least you have the fame.)
This round also counts in the overall rating.
As you can see there are 5 rounds in which the assignent is up to one of the contestants.
Once we start on a round like that I will ask that contestant what he/she would like to be the assignment.
The assignment can be
anything (backgrounds, signatures, photo edits, etc).
Also you can see that the other rounds will be partially decided by one of teh contestants.
These are the rounds and the contestant that will partially decide in it (you can see what they have to decide in the round descriptions above):
Round 2: TheFury
Round 3: SprBean
Round 4: Shrapn3LL
Round 5: Judobreaker
Round 6: MissDeadly
The judges
The rounds will be judged by a team which I will assamble.
This team will consist of a few members of my own site (they will be the pro judges) and a few Twilight members (they will represent the Twilight community).
I will assemble this team as soon as possible.
