Blind Bag Custom contest closed voting soon
« on: March 09, 2012, 03:54:10 PM »
Edit: Remember to only send me one final photo for the judging.  Feel free to take as many photos or angles as you like but put them together collage style so that you only have one final picture for voting/judging.  Thanks everyone!! They look so cool I can't wait to put them on display.

Almost time! I hope everyone is doing well.  Don't forget to get those final pictures to me when you are all finished so I can organize the voting. 

Check-ins are over! Thanks everyone for checking in.  We only had a few drop outs. Yay! Everyone else press on. We are coming to a close now. 

Please note that if you change your mind about your bait or you decide to start over or go with a different idea that is fine! I know with custom sometimes it takes a trial and error.  Just make sure two things.  One I was hoping we could do a before/after shot.  So if you can try to grab a photo of your bait or even just a stock photo from the web.  Second you only need to notify me after your initial form if you are changing your category.  People are signed up by category in my ledger.  Since you must be signed up to win make sure you are signed up in the right category. :)

Ok so no one signed up last time. Hopefully some people sign up this time.


Rules:
Please note you must be 16 years old or older and meet all site requirements in order to qualify.
1. You may only enter one custom in each category
2.  You may enter both categories. 
2. The custom you enter must be on a blind bag base and must be a new creation not made for any other project.
3. You must adhere to rules and deadlines to qualify.
4. Submit FINAL custom pictures to me at the end on or before June 2nd so I can organize voting.
5. You may not lobby for votes, you may direct people to the voting page when the time comes but please do not attempt to sway favor. Honor system, this should be a skill based contest not a popularity contest.
6.I will need one progress report from everyone so I know how many are likely to finish.  I will allow written check-ins.  But please label them correctly.  Label them with: check-in as the subject, category you are in (both if you are checking in for both categories), picture or written progress report. Please have them in by May 19th.
7. One photo only. (if you want multiple angles please combine them into a single document.)
8. Contest is open internationally but please be aware I will not replace lost prize items. I don't anticipate problems, just a disclaimer.
9. Sign ups closed on May 2nd.  Anyone who has not signed up and agreed to the rules will not be eligible to win. 
10. Contest will run for roughly two months.
11.  Voting will take place for one week. Voting will be open to the community at large so anyone may enter. Voters will choose their top 3 picks in each category and I will tally them to determine winners.  In event of a tie... We will hold a 24 hour revote between the two entries.
12. I reserve the right to disqualify anyone who does not obey the rules, who does not behave in a sportsmanlike manner, or who does breaks site rules.

Sign up form:
Name
Category
Bait
I agree to terms and conditions



Important dates:
sign ups begin April 2nd
Sign ups end may 2nd
Check in by May 19th
Contest ends June 2nd
Voting June 3-9th
Winners announced June 10th


Categories:Hasbro Characters (any Hasbro character that does not currently exist in blind bag form)
Original creations (everything else)

Prizes: if you wish to donate prizes pm me. The two winners will choose two prizes from the following categories.  But you may not choose doubles.  So If you would not be able to choose 8 ounces of apoxie for example.  You would have to choose 4 ounces of apoxie and another prize. Let me know if there are questions about this.  It's to kind of help balance since some prizes are worth more than others.

Wave 1 glittery twilight, rainbow and pinkie.  Well really any 3 wave one BBs you want I think I have them all.
$10 cash
Custom supply lot (3 colors dollyhair order or 4 ounces of apoxie sculpt) (wide gate metal sheeting for customs, paints, brushes, Pitt pens, India ink, temporary tattoo paper... I'll have to sort through my supplies box)
Bait lot (G1/3/4)
Custom created by me for you.  No real limits but if I feel your request is outside my skill level I may ask that you scale it down a bit.
Choose one or two items from my for sale thread I have many other vintage toys if anyone would be interested in that.  I'll set a $10-20 limit I think.

I guess I could just have a few lots of prizes for each winner to choose from.  When would be good for everyone to start the contest?

This sounds like an awesome idea and I know that i would try to enter as well. I haven't really been around here long enough to have an input on what would make the best prizes though (sorry! :) )

That's ok, I figure any kind of prize is just incentive.  I mean something for free and the prestige of an award winning piece would be worth it.

I'm sorry to hear that.  Unfortunately, since it is a contest situation I cannot be responsible for providing baits.  I can say many bbs sell pretty cheap, especially the main 6 so they should be pretty easy to find.  I'm sorry for anyone unable to join.

Oh no! I had been keeping my eye out for this, because I would have loved to enter. I don't know how I missed it. Hopefully it may reappear in the future?
