I now have two entries! Do people need more time?


Ehm...yes ^^' Just a little longer.

Splat 03-28-2010 05:44 PM

Tenth of April it is then. Competition closes when the tenth of April becomes the eleventh of April.

P.S. Grrrrr...

If the two who've finished want to do more work on their pictures and send them in again, that would be acceptable.

Splat 04-06-2010 08:47 AM

Four days left...

MeechMunchie 04-07-2010 01:17 PM

Zoinks! Why am I such a bumbling incompetent?

Splat 04-07-2010 02:04 PM

Well I've only got two entries so far, and if I don't get one or two more, I don't think it'll be worth running the judging. Certainly not for just two.

Dryadri 04-07-2010 02:49 PM

Mine will be along shortly ;)

AlexFili 04-07-2010 03:35 PM

That is a shame. I hope everything works out Splat.

STM 04-09-2010 05:35 AM

To be honest i think you should count me out. Sorry.

Grieva 04-09-2010 08:41 AM

Count me out too, back home for easter and left the files on my external hard drive http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/object3/...06602_5896.jpg

Could I post it here after the deadline?

Splat 04-09-2010 09:52 AM

Will more more time help people? Otherwise the competition simply isn't going to happen.

slig# 5719 04-09-2010 02:14 PM

I should have a submitable piece by the end of tomorrow. Although more time wouldn't be frowned upon :p. If I wasn't so idiotic and left it till late I would have finished it ages ago instead of rushing around. I'm gonna try and pretend there is no more time if you add some, otherwise i'll probably leave it till later again.

Splat 04-09-2010 03:48 PM

Well you can a have a few more days if you have something nearly done. I have but two questions;
First, is it worth me running an art competition again next year?
And if I do, how can I make people pay attention to the deadline?

Shiny stuff for rewards.

Who knows maybe they'll be a rush of new members...
But giving this one if there's still only two entries so far mine would make three I wouldn't think so if next year will be the same maybe a vote closer to the time to see who will take part.

I have one idea, but with so few people around I don't know if it world work:

Maybe hold some mini friendly competitions art or otherwise with deadlines set in stone about 1-2 weeks after it starts and then give a week for public voting. Leave proper judging for competitions such as this one.

Ignore this it's my own fault I didn't finish it earlier.
On that note I should really get back to my entry.

AlexFili 04-10-2010 02:22 AM

I personally think that the deadline was way too long. You gotta keep it short or attentions will waver. There are lots of people here who like artwork. There must be a reason why they didn't want to compete.

MeechMunchie 04-10-2010 06:26 AM

I'd say just give everyone a week after the first entry comes in. The only thing that motivates people more than pressure is uncertainty.

slig# 5719 04-10-2010 09:15 AM

Phew. I'm done.

Although I won't be able to submit it till a bit later today. Good luck everyone :D

Edit: Submitted, add one more to the tally :p, truth be told I'm as nervous as hell.

Dryadri 04-10-2010 01:27 PM

I'm putting the finishing touches on as I type...well not as I type.

Fuck..now I definitely don't have a chance of winning :(

Funny tidbid though...as soon as I uploaded my picture to [deleted so as not to give anything away] I checked the link and it got 3 views.

STM 04-10-2010 02:17 PM

mmm i'm still out as far as I can say don't count on my input

Pfft, mine sucks, it didn't turn out like I wanted it to. And no, I'm not just lying to make you feel better.

So how many entries are there now?

Splat 04-10-2010 04:13 PM

There are five. I shouldn't really be online right now but I was watching QI and want to look something up, so the competition ends on Monday night.

In future, if I have to give extensions, I will be less definite as to how long said extensions will be.

MeechMunchie 04-11-2010 04:07 AM

Okay, I should be able to get mine in by then. I just hope it's worth the wait.

Grieva 04-12-2010 02:30 PM

Submitted! I'll never leave anything so last minute again......... for a week :)

Truer words have never bee spoken. I'd posrep you...but I can't.

Splat 04-12-2010 04:00 PM

Competition... is... closed!

Man, five entries after the deadline! That makes a total of seven people!

Huge thanks to AlexFili and Enchilado for getting your entries on within the original deadline! :p

But also thanks to Slig #5719, Ridg3, Dryadri, MeechMunchie and Grieva!

If you ask me, I think you're all winners :happy:

*Voms in a bucket*

Anyway, judges will start receiving irritating PMs This Very Night, and hopefully results should be in within a couple of weeks (since it should take less time than the fiction competition did).

Good luck, everyone!

Splat.
