As you may have seen on the front page or in the other thread in the Clan Art forum we're giving Clanners the chance to have their art immortalized for a month on The Clan's news fader.

There have been a number of changes to this event since I announced it the other day.

Firstly, along with the art contest there will also be a writing competition where the winning piece will be on display on the front page of the Clan. Like with the art, there will be a set theme related to CoAD which the entries must be linked with. This will take place on alternate months with the art competition (ie. The first month will be art, the second writing, the third art, etc). The writing will be limited to short stories and poetry only, as the Guardians also need time to read through the entries and judge them.

The second change is the timing of the competition. The first of these events will start on the 27th of July and the closing date will be the 26th of August. The Nanuak, the other Guardians and myself will then judge the entries for the winner to be announced on the 1st of August. The winner’s picture will be displayed in the banner until the next winner has been announced.

Remember that when submitting your entries you must clearly state in the subject of your thread that it is part of the competition. It would also be helpful if you left a link to your entry in this thread so the Guardians know which to select from. We’re hoping to have a subforum opened especially for competition entries to solve a lot of these problems. Alternatively, if you'd rather post it, you can send your entry to the following postal address:



The competition is open to anyone who wants to enter and any type of art will do (digital, traditional, photography, etc.).



The theme for the first art competition will be…



To help with the art competition it’s best to read the descriptions of Torak in the books. I saw a post by Renak not long ago which I think will be very useful for those who want to enter.

I understand that a number of people at the Clan find drawing people hard but do not let this month’s theme put you off, because the next competition you might find easy. Even if you don’t think you can draw people give it a go anyway, the only way you’ll improve is by practicing.

With that said, good luck and remember that you have until the 26th of August to produce your pictures.
