Loading Screen Contest!

[GM-Ciar]

Create loading screens for heRO and win prizes!

Rules & Guidelines
• Deadline: June 10 at 12:00 AM / 00:00 (server time, EST GMT-5)
• The GM Team will be the judges for this contest.
• A player may submit as many entries as they want.
• Participants will receive 1 participation prize regardless of amount of entries submitted.
• Participants may win multiple times, up to 2 times.
• Please put all your entries in the same post (unless you reach the image limit, in which case put a link to your next post that contains entries), feel free to edit your post(s) until the deadline.
• Please mention your character names in your entry post so we know who to give rewards to.
• Do not use other people's work, be original!
• Keep everything PG-13.
• More than 1 player may participate in the creation of an entry, however only 1 person may submit it and collect the participation/reward prize for it, that person is then responsible for prize distribution or any other deal agreed to by the players involved.

Loading Screen Info:
• The size of a loading screen should be 1600x1200.
• Image format must be .jpg (jpeg).
• GM-Ciar may manually add the server logo somewhere in the bottom of the image, so it's not necessary for you to do it.
• Your loading screen may also be used as a title screen too, so it may be seen on the login and character select screens!
  
  You can make a loading or title screen image about anything HeRO related, but if you're not sure what to make, here's some ideas:
  
  
• Allegiance System
• Events (Fabre Tame, Poring Smash, Novices vs Taini, etc.)
• Chronicles of Heroes (Faeheim, Kushiel Story, Eudoxie Story, The Unknown, Seer's Dilemma)
• Lutia Region
• Faeheim Region
• Muspelheim
• Orc Couple Roma & Jule
  

Rewards

Participation Prize: For submitting at least 1 worthy* entry a player will be rewarded once with the following:

Questions
Ask and we shall answer!

• How many prizes can one win?
  Answer: For submitting a worthy entry, you will get a participation prize. If you win, you'll get the participation reward plus choice pack. For every entry that is added to the game, you will also obtain 1 OCA.

• I'm not great at digital drawings, can I do them by hand?
  Answer: Yes, just make sure it's scanned properly (high resolution) and has a clean look (not blurry, grainy, etc).

• Are any of the reward headgears animated?
  Answer: Flying Galapago, Black Witch Hat, and Sorcerer Hood are animated

• Can my entries win more than once?
  Answer: You can win only up to two times, regardless of entries. For example, you submitted 4 amazing entries, we can only pick 2 as the best.

• How do GMs judge entries?
  Answer: Each GM must individually pick what they feel are winning entries. Once the judging period is over, the entries that received the most votes wins. Keep in mind beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and thus every GM has their own criteria, likes, dislikes, etc.

Disclaimers:
By posting your entry, you agree to the following:

- Submitted entries can be used by the GM Team for the server in any way shape or form, in or outside the game (forum, RMS, HeRO's facebook page, etc).
- The GM Team reserves the right to adjust prizes at any time as they see fit for balance purposes.
- Any entry which is determined to be antagonistic to HeRO Server or its players will be disqualified. In-game or forum punishments may also apply.
- Rewards for each submission chosen to be added ingame will be given along with participation rewards, winning rewards, etc. No additional OCA will be rewarded if an entry previously not set to be added is chosen to be added after all, after two weeks of the contest's end.
- The judgement of the contest organizers is final.

Improved the rewards, as they were originally a copy of the emoji contest ones with entries easier to make compared to a 1600x1200 image.
