[font=georgia]Hello and welcome to the Graphic Maker’s Cookoff 2009 [2.0]![/font]
[font=georgia]DAILY/WEEKLY CHALLENGE POSTING THREAD[/font]
[font=georgia]Information[/font]
Each artist, like in the main
Posting Thread, should have
one post to cut down on load time. For posting Daily and Weekly Challenges, go back and edit your first post in this thread. For large images, please use thumbnails.
The Daily Challenges will be posted approximately around midnight GMT[7:00 PM EST] on the day of and crossed off at midnight GMT the day after, with no other entries accepted. Weekly Challenges will be posted at midnight GMT at the beginning of the Cookoff and crossed off at midnight GMT the day after the Cookoff ends, with no other entries accepted. You can still post what you’ve made in the Main thread, but it will not be put in for judging.
Judging will be done in a first to fourth place format, and extra points will be awarded as well as the points for the graphic itself. For example, first place in a Daily Challenge will get +6 points for a blend, with a total of 12 points, second place will get +4 points with a total of 10 points, etc. These are the only part of the Cookoff besides the “Other” section where skill will be looked at as well as speed, but doing your best is encouraged throughout the Competition. The entire point is to challenge yourself to improve at a fast pace. If you are not satisfied with your own work, challenge yourself to do better.
Remember that your Challenge entries will not be counted unless they are posted here.
