General rules / guidelines

-Read the individual rules and theme of each competition before entering it. Don't just assume the theme from the title, some are slightly more specific than they sound.
-To enter, upload your image to your house and then link it into the wiki using <IMG:(URL to image)>. If you need to upload a larger image to Elftown, ask one of the crew for wiki-uploading privileges
-Note the possible size limit and/or format on the pictures submitted. They will vary on the competition, and be explained in its rules.

For information:
-Official contests are usually closed at midnight Elftown time, on the date of the deadline. Elftown time is UTC, and can be seen in the status bar below the member search box.

-Official contest polls are usually kept open until there are 1000 or more voters rather than for a set amount of time.

2007-10-12 [kris3eck]: lol... questionnaires

2007-10-22 [_Einsam_Ein_]: i agree with dragonos...its so annoying when people portray witches as ugly people. we are just like everyone else... except... well... we're well... witches.

2007-10-22 [Jitter]: The thing is that there are the witches of folklore who are traditionally ugly and the witches by religion who are people like the rest. no connection between them :P

2007-10-25 [dragonos]: But the thing is I hate those pathettic folklores potreying witches as ugly green thing's with wort's on the nose that is exactly like telling a christian that there god is actualy a dog that has the name god and jesus is a whimpering old man. Plus the word witch is actualy many thing's not just one because it meen's that the person potreyd as a witch is actualy a person that uses what to some is known as magick. Therefore a witch is in fact a ,Wiccan,Druid,Necromancer,Sommuner and so on basicaly witch is just a word meening a person that uses what is known as magick and Yes to those of you that wish to know I am a naturely born wiccan.

2007-10-25 [moira hawthorne]: I think the point should be that art isnt about continual portraying a dated incorrect outlived stereotype... whether it be real life or myth or fantasy... there is no more one way to draw/portray a witch than there is to draw an elf or faery... its up to the artist to decide...

2007-10-25 [dragonos]: that's true because there depiction's on what witches look like in myth is just that myth there is no actual proof stateing that is what they looked like. When infact they looked just like us only differance was there cloth's back then were differant than most clothing you see nowaday's. Although that is the case with all that were back then not just witches looked differant everyone did. Just think if you went back in time to that time period with your current clothing you would most likely be killed for being a witch. Just because you look differant.

2007-10-25 [moira hawthorne]: quite right... its kindda boring when fantasy/myth creatures ... even immortal ones get pigeon holed as having a dated type of clothing from one particalar era of human history...

more interesting to think that if you were to met lets say... a leparchon on the street today... he'd be dressed in modern clothes not some weird stylized victorian suit...

2007-10-25 [dragonos]: that would be true the fact is as time advances so does everything in it change as well so saying one thing is to look like one thing just because it may or may not have looked like that in the past is ridiculas. who is to say that you may not even be talking to one of those thing's from the past you won't know because as time changed so did they. So infact they could be walking around just like any other person and you would never know because you think they would appear as the myth's say. Relieing to much on myth and legend just look at the times there are thing's that go unexplained and the best thing anyone can say is that it never happend because there is no logical answer for why or even how it happend.

2007-10-25 [moira hawthorne]: Id like to believe that all myths are real... and that if we look with our hearts we will see the faery street busker... throw him a coin and he will sing you magic!

2007-10-25 [Jitter]: But the thing is I hate those pathettic folklores potreying witches as ugly green thing's with wort's on the nose

You can't call folklore pathetic :/ Each land has their stories whether those are of your liking or not. I personally am not fond of certain folklores either but I don't diss them because they don't agree with my views of some creatures.

And it also would be better to stop chatting on this wiki and take the discussion to a forum or a private wiki :)

2007-10-25 [dragonos]: Lol maybe but there are some folklores I think are cool true or not I just don't like the witch one. Yes this is infact for competition's not idol banter so yes you are rite this isen't the place for it.

2008-02-10 [Triola]: The "Elftown Christmas Competitions - Photography open" part is arguable :P

2008-02-10 [Linderel]: Thanks for the reminder xD

2008-02-10 [Triola]: 'S what I'm here for :3 Stalking and nitpicking ;)

2008-03-31 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Just marked the Elftown Valentine Competitions as CLOSED. Removed contests that have ended, added the Medieval Smileys Contest & updated deadlines. :P

2008-04-30 [*Artsie_ladie*]: Noted the ECM Fairy/Fae deadline extension.

2008-07-08 [Ramirez]: ECM Fantasy dwarf photo - Deadline: Februaru 15th, 2009

Is February suppose to be spelt with a 'u'? Just wondering. =O

2008-07-08 [blood_fairy21]: i think its a typo.

2008-07-12 [Joey_Bitch]: I think this page is cool...

2008-08-10 [Mortified Penguin]: How about some sort of community drawing sort of contest... in which everyone draws a small part of a large picture and at the end, all of the pictures are put together to form the whole picture... or... something... I don't know, I'm just bored... *eats ramen*...

2008-08-10 [Ramirez]: That's a neat idea, [Mortified Penguin].
