You MUST include a description in the blank field to tell what type of software you used, what inspired you, how long it took to create the image. You may also include anything else about the image you wish to share. Images without a description will not be approved and will be asked to reupload with the description included. Images that do not follow the contest rules or our Terms of Service will be removed. Vote soliciting will not be tolerated. Entrants that have solicited votes will be disqualified without warning. This includes, but is not limited to, emailing or sitemailing members. Check your EMAIL and SITEMAIL often after upload, even after it's been accepted. This is the manager's form of communication when contacting regarding violations. We recommend not waiting until the end of the contest to upload your entry. It is common for upload and/or approval complications to arise. Please give yourself ample time to correct your entry, if need be.
