I'm hosting a contest on BJDIllusions (small forum, sometimes crazy owner, had it's share of wank and angst, fun little base of active members once you get passed it's past of drama) and have worked out the rules. Can someone(s) look over them and ask any stupid questions that you might have? I want to make sure there's nothing confusing before I put it up officially on the forum. I also realize I repeat myself so let me know if it's TOO repetitive and not just a double post because sometimes people can't read.
~~~~~~~~
Here we go, it's time for another contest! And Wifey wins at hosting contests because I like to GIVE AWAY DOLLS! YAAAAY!
Overview:
Your task is to design an outfit for the prize doll. She is an MSD female. I will be making the winning outfit to go home with her to the winner, so do not design something you don't want her to wear.
There are no limitations to the outfit, design any style you want, punk, goth, Lolita, medieval, anything. just remember winner will be chosen based on PRACTICALITY and ORIGINALITY! I will choose the winning submission based on how fun it is but also how realistically it is designed. If it is covered in 10,00 layers of ruffles I'd never had the patience to make it.
Rules:
~Only people owning 3 or less dolls are eligible to win
(anyone with 4 or more dolls may join as a sponsor, see below)
~Outfits submitted must be Original! Design them yourself, DO NOT COPY! I want to see no MSpaint color overs of already existing outfits. Don't even bother if that's all you feel like doing, sorry.
~Artwork/drawings are preferred, a VERY GOOD written description is acceptable but please understand if you win I may mess it up in creation if the details are confusing.***
~Only one final submission may be entered at the end for a chance to win. You may draw out as many designs as you like before the deadline, but may only choose ONE per person for judging.
~Post your submissions in this thread, but FINAL SUBMISSIONS will go to a new separate thread to keep them organized.
Sponsors:
Depending on the number of dolls owned allows for the number of sponsors. A sponsor is someone with too many dolls to win but who still wants to design outfits. Each sponsor can enter an outfit at the final deadline for one of the entrants trying to win the doll.
Persons with 3 dolls cannot have a sponsor and can only enter for themselves.
Persons with 2 dolls can have ONE sponsors, meaning 2 final entries.
Persons with 1 dolls can have TWO sponsors, meaning 3 final entries.
Anyone with 0 dolls can have up to THREE sponsors, meaning 4 final entries.
A floating head DOES NOT count as a doll UNLESS their body has been bought/ordered/in-transit.
If you would like to be a Sponsor please PM me and I will assign you to an entrant. You may pair up with someone on your own, but I need a tally to make sure no one goes over their limit so please let me know who you are sponsoring.
Submissions:
The preferred format for the outfit design is as a drawing or visual rendering of some sort. If you have trouble with anatomy here are some nude images of the doll which clothing may be drawn on top of (front, back, side, arm up). It is not required to use these as your base, this is just a reference.
If you cannot draw and only write out a description, please see if another BJDI member will volunteer to be your artist***.
Anyone entering the contest is NOT REQUIRED to post any entries in this thread before the deadline. Final renderings are not required until the deadline, either, so feel free to post rough sketches, doodles, or blippy ideas. Or nothing at all if you fear copiers.
IF YOU ARE CHOOSING NOT POST ANYTHING UNTIL THE DEADLINE: please PM me and let me know. I want to keep a written list of who is taking part and their sponsors. I will not allow anyone new to join once the first deadline has passed.
Deadlines:
The deadline for all your designs or to sign up is August 5th
The deadline to choose a final submission is August 10th
PRIZE!!!
The prize for this contest is a Dynadoll Mina, with faceup, wig, and maybe shoes. She will come with the simple black and pink outfit shown as well as the winning contest entry to be made upon contest's completion.

**If any artist would like to volunteer to draw out written descriptions there is no limit how many drawings you do. It must fit to the EXACT written description (both must be submitted) of the submitter. However a volunteer artist does NOT count as a sponsor since they are not making up the new design only helping to visualize someone's submission.
