December Competition

First of all, I think I speak for all those at the Image Opportunity when I say that, even if it was hard, I had a lot of fun with the last competition, and think I'm finally getting used to running this. And I'm very sorry that it's taken so long, but we finally have the announcement for the December competition!

The theme for December is...

"Rise and Fall"

Deadline:

December 31st, 2007

If you have any questions, you can, as always, email us at image.opportunity [at] gmail.com, or look at the newly updated rules for the competition. 

Good luck, and keep creating!

Update: The Rules

You need to know a few rules before submitting to the Image Opportunity!

This is an update on the previous rules that were stated in the announcement of the "Duplicate" theme.

• We accept all visual arts that you can print. That means no music, video, etc...
  
• All submissions must be in a digital format. So take a picture of all those sculptures you have.
  
• We have a limit of three submissions per person, per contest.
  
• Please include your name, grade, school, and title of submission, and genre of submission along with every submission!
  
• Every competition will be based around a theme, and have a deadline about a month after the announcement of that theme.
  
• Anyone of high school age can enter!
  
• Judges will look for artistic merit, relevance to the theme, and the creativity of title when judging images. The first two categories will each be worth a maximum of 5 points, and the title will be worth only one point, as a tie-breaker.
  
• Judging begins at the end of each contest, and the winner(s) will be announced and featured when chosen.
  
• By submitting, you consent to allow us to use your image in any form we desire, including posting it on this website and other external websites.
  
• All artworks appearing on this site are copyrighted to their respective artists, and may not be used for any purpose without the artist's written consent.
  

"Bountiful Blossoms"

Well, the final submission to the "Duplicate" contest is here! This is from Vicky Lai, a sophomore at Blair. Many thanks to everyone for submitting!

This was only posted after the winner was announced due to the forgetfulness of the judges. It was counted along with all the other submissions in scoring.

And the winner is...
