There will be a fan art contest at the end of each Geode Corner Volume!

Links will be included on the ad and in the author note’s section ((internet only)). Please read rules and prize descriptions carefully:

12. All entrants must have a Deviantart account and can only enter via Deviantart. It will be too difficult for me to manage entries/votes that arent submitted via Deviantart. If you don’t have a DA account, it is free and easy to set one up! To enter, submit your entry through Deviantart in a note to me with a link to your entry. Write “Geode Corner Contest” as the heading. Do not submit your entry as a comment or I might miss it!



Rules:



After the contest closes, the judges (TBA) will choose the top entries (number TBA). Entrants in the finals must vote for a finalist’s entry (that is not their own) in a given time period in order to remain qualified. Entrants who did not place in the finals have the option to vote as well. ((Kind of like Survivor : P )) Votes will be cast by commenting in the determined journal entry when the time comes. Votes by people who did not enter the contest will not count. The time period this takes place in is TBA. Only contest entrants will be able to vote on the first, second, and third place winners to avoid popularity contests, to make it fair since I may know some entrants, and to avoid people just voting so their friends will win. Note: There may also be a “Judge’s Choice” prize.
