*June Color Contest* Reminder about rules.

Now that the voting period is over, we will now spend the remainder of June holding the color portion of the "Impaired" color contest.  For every entry we receive, the color-me-club will submit 2 dollars to the Do1Thing.org website for disadvantaged and homeless youth.

_{HOW IT WORKS.}

The contest is simple.  Take the lines above, download the full resolution, print it off or open it in your favorite drawing program, and give it some color.  Entries will be accepted until Tuesday, June 30th.

Then, a four-day long voting period will be held between July 1st through the 4th.

All medium is accepted.  You can color these images with Photoshop, Painter, Gimp, OC, crayons, color pencils, markers, pastels, spiralgraph, you name it.  If it colors, it's acceptable.


_{I'M DONE WITH COLOR.  NOW WHAT?}

Once you have completed your colored version of the lines above, submit it to your DeviantArt gallery.  Then, send the color-me-club a note.  The note should be titled "JUNE COLOR CONTEST ENTRY," and the note needs to contain a link to your colored piece.


_{ANY SPECIAL RULES?}

There are a few rules that need some going over.  First of all, you cannot submit multiple entries.  One entry only, please.

You do NOT need to be a member of the color-me-club to participate.  This is open to everybody.  

The same rules regarding coloring lineart in the color-me-club gallery still apply.  You can add to the image (a background, other effects, etc), but you cannot dramatically affect the lines in a way that completely changes them.  Also, do not remove or modify the signature or watermark on the image; that must stay.

Lastly, any users found to be pandering for votes will be disqualified.  You ARE allowed to state "I hope I win, wish me luck" on the image description.  However, you CANNOT say "everybody go to this [link] and send them a note voting for me" in any medium.  And by any medium, we mean ANY medium.  This includes:

-On the image description.
-On the image itself.
-On comments in that image, or other images.
-Journals.
-Your signature.
-Forum posts.
-Notes.
-Public Sculpture.

Use proper judgment.  Pandering is for slimy politician scumbags.  We're artists, we're far better than them in every way conceivable.  Let the image speak for itself, and the best way to say "vote for me" is to put a laborious amount of love and tender work into your art.
