The Blue Assignment
This Months Theme:</u>
Blue Skies
This Months Theme Description:</u>
The main subject and theme is blue skies, any medium welcome.
This Months Rule:</u>
Must contain a prominent amount of blue
The Premise:</u>
"The Blue Assignment" is a challenge for our members to present the color Blue in in the form of varied themed contest which change monthly. It is designed to challenge us through subject matter, a monthly timescale and ever changing guidelines. Themes will start off easy, but will quickly move on to more challenging subjects and rules meant to test us creatively and explore different genres, styles, mediums and subject matter. I will provide a list of subjects for our next contest, and you will be able to vote on which one you would like the most.
The real trick is, to compete in every one to truly test ourselves. The more out of our comfort zone the subject is, the more of a challenge it is for us. If we simply pick and choose that would be too easy, this is a challenge. So there will be a bonus for people who compete in every single challenge, and will be awarded at the end of the year.
The Info:</u>
A theme will be voted on each month by a public poll. Then members have one month to complete pieces in that theme. Voting will start on the last week of the month to decide the next months theme. The beginning of the next month a new contest will start and there will be a short voting period to decide the winner of the previous month. That winner will get a feature of that piece on our front page until the next winner is decided, as well as a feature in our monthly News. There will be a limitation chosen by myself every month, a rule that changes from month to month. The theme and rule will be posted at the top of this journal every month.
The Finalists:</u>
The winners of each month will be finalist's eligible to enter an end of the year challenge to compete with one another, exclusively for monthly winners only.
The Wildcard:</u>
Each staff member can pick one wild card to enter the final challenge, one artist who each staff thinks had a worthy piece but just didn't get the public vote and never won a contest. We will not play favorites, this decision will be based solely on artistic merit of a contest entry.
The Prize:</u>
The winner of it all gets awarded a special prize, as well as a spot in our journal for the next year... until a new winner is crowned. And if that winner competed in every event they get a bonus...
The Rules:</u>
Must be a member
It must follow the theme
It must be a new piece that wasn't posted before the first of the month. If the date is off, or it was on another site before hand you will be disqualified.
Contest submissions received before or after that month for that theme will not be accepted.

There is a new "monthly" feature up now, over at my personal dA page (again I would much rather do this feature here at the group but since we aren't a supergroup any more we can't use thumbnails in the journal.) Be sure to go check it out and see if it's your art that's been featured. :meow:
I did mean to keep updating this but life got on top of me for a while back there ^^;
