Apologies and Contest

Please accept my apologies for not being here when I should have been. Life just caught up with me, and I couldn't keep up. Well, now that is over! The contest that I proposed months ago will be split into two main groups. One section will be written literature, and the other will be the visual art. It is up to you to come up with your own original idea. It just must follow the following rules/guidelines. You may do photomanips, poems, stories, vector art, emoticons; anything you can come up with that CAN be submitted to DeviantArt AND this group.

Rules:
1.) No pornography.
2.) No profanity.
3.) There is only one submission per person.
4.) All submissions must be themed HEAVILY to the Animorphs book series, t.v. show, etc.
4.) You must at least watch this group or be a member to participate.
5.) You must have created every aspect of your submissions. No material outside of what you own 100% copyright to may be used!
6.) Any submission not following these rules will be disqualified!
7.) All submissions must not have been created until after the contest start!

Any persons who are willing to provide commissions, points, llamas, etc.; please send me a note with what you are offering to contestants. Also note, those who are offering rewards to contest winners may also join the contest. The offered rewards will not be shown until the contest has come to an end. This is a precaution so that individuals offering rewards themselves will not be given the one they are offering. Remember, I have nothing to gain or give for this contest. This whole thing hinges on the community's support!

There will be a top three in each category that will win prizes based on their position. The first place individuals in each category will be placed in a vote for the entire Group to vote for. The winner of that vote will be Honorary Animorph for one year. They will have special privileges in the group until next year's contest comes to a close.

The contest has not officially started! I will announce the start time and end time of the contest once all offers for prizes have been submitted. All prize offers must be submitted by October 8, 2011 at 12:00 Midnight, Central U.S. Time!
