Yayvarily agreed

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

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

Splat · #63 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 · #64 04-06-2010, 08:47 AM

Four days left...

MeechMunchie · #65 04-07-2010, 01:17 PM

Zoinks! Why am I such a bumbling incompetent?

Splat · #66 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 · #67 04-07-2010, 02:49 PM

Mine will be along shortly

AlexFili · #68 04-07-2010, 03:35 PM

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

STM · #69 04-09-2010, 05:35 AM

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

Grieva · #70 04-09-2010, 08:41 AM

Count me out too, back home for easter and left the files on my external hard drive

Could I post it here after the deadline?

Splat · #71 04-09-2010, 09:52 AM

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

slig# 5719 · #72 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

. 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 · #73 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.

And if I do, how can I make people pay attention to the deadline?

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.

:

although more time wouldn't be frown upon :P

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 · #76 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 · #77 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 · #78 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

Edit: Submitted, add one more to the tally

, truth be told I'm as nervous as hell.

Dryadri · #79 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 · #81 04-10-2010, 02:17 PM

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

Dryadri · #82 04-10-2010, 03:03 PM

:

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 · #83 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 · #84 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 · #85 04-12-2010, 02:30 PM

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

Yeah, but procrastination is in your blood...you're a gamer.

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

Splat · #88 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!

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

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

*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.
