2. Submissions must follow the current theme that has been chosen by a moderator for that week. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your image is larger than 600 pixels wide, please provide a link to the image instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the image will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week.
5. After the deadline, a moderator will pick the winner, and they will be awarded a 25 AP award.

*just to fit in I stare at Carlie*

Lol, what I was saying is that a shoe fetish or something may have been more appropriate than the one that you used... I mean a box staring at some shoes or something... lol I don't know. Seemed more appropriate than... that what it was.

And last but certainly not least, a special acknowledgement to Cenere's entry, which could not place because of his win on the last competition:

Great job everyone! There were some really creative ideas with this competition.

Strop will be setting the theme and judging the next competition, so stay tuned for his update! =)

Ahhhhh, so close! XD
Congratulations to Strop~

And now, Cenere and I will finally draw against each other - we've been anticipating that~

Strop, I trust you to choose a good theme!
Also, could you give me a link to an upload of a smaller version of your Pandora box thing so that I can post a picture in the winner's thread? Will post link to full res too, just~ Yes~ Please?

That would be useful in the future for posting winners in this thread as well. So if people have very large images, if you could provide a smaller version as well, that would be awesome!

Thanks for judging Carlie. I'm glad to see everybody has been anticipating this so much. From this point on I will be running and judging the competition for some period of time (how long I dunno)- during which I of course won't be elegible to win, but will still participate.

Since we've been getting many more entries and the standard and variety has increased greatly, there are going to be some changes to the judging.

* There will still be (for now), one grand winner who gets a merit.

* However I will nominate several categories, where applicable, and give special recognition to particular entries. Such categories may include: Technique and Quality, Done Entirely in MS Paint, Most Lulz, Epic Win Reference, Just Plain Random or Dishonorable Mention (i.e. what Klaushouse would have gotten for his 'box' entry, haha.)

* Also if you would like constructive criticism on your entry you may say so, and I'll do my best to give feedback. It goes without saying that others are free to do the same, as has always been the case.

---

So with that said, here's the next round!

Theme: Fashion

Deadline:: Thursday 9th October

HAVE AT IT!
