Its been so long since I even had photoshop that my opinion is shit Im sure. So I want to see how my entry for sotw 18 look to everyone else. Is there a rule about not posting them till the votings over?

[Narcissa]

Pretttyy sure that would incite a shit storm considering what happened a few SOTW ago.

nope, you can't share your current SOTW entries (to prevent bias)

drama for your mamma
clue a nigga in?

i believe it was just that people used non-anonymous URLS for their signatures
and then they voted for their own signature, which isn't allowed either.
meh.

yeah this is a big no go and against the rules of the SOTW. Anyone found to be posting their work for the current SOTW for C&C or comments will be disqualified from entering/participating in the current SOTW. They may be banned permanently if found to be reoffending.

Submitting an entry:

(i) Creating

Be sure to create your entry in accordance with the guidelines set by the person running the SOTW. Entries that don't match the criteria set will be regretfully declined. Contestants may re-apply until their entries meet the criteria set, but only before the deadline is up.

We encourage the use of stock images incorporated into your entry. Please refrain from just taking an image (which is generally copyrighted anyway) and slapping some text and a border around it. We would like for entrants to further their skills by stepping outside their comfort zone and trying to learn new skills. There are plenty of tutorials out there to use

DO NOT include your username in your submission. We want this to be a fair competition, and including your username could result in unbiased voting.

DO NOT openly post your work or PM to others for C&C.

(ii) Submitting

When hosting your image, we insist you use a hosting service that gives your submission a completely anonymous URL, to ensure that we have a fair and unbiased competition (imageshack.us, tinypic.com etc etc BUT NOT PHOTOBUCKET). Once hosted, your submission will then have to be sent by way of Private Message the person running the SOTW who posted the guidelines that your entry was made in accordance with. Only then can your submission be valid.

The creator of the current SOTW must double check each URL submitted to them and make sure they aren't hosted by Photobucket, as it is very easy to trace who made the signature if they use PB.

Please be sure to use "SOTW #[number] Entry" as the subject of your Private Message when you submit your entry to ensure that it doesn't get left out.

Yes it certainly pays to read them thoroughly, even though it can be a bit tedious at times.

Anyways, OP has been answered, so im closing this thread.
