Challenge Guidelines for February:The myJanee.community Message Board will work just as I describe HERE. Please note that posting your statement is part of participation in the Challenge. If you do not post a statement, you will not be eligible for a Trophy. At the time that I post the entries, I will send you the MyWork password, and you use that whenever you talk about your own work on the board. The idea is to keep the identity of the artists secret till after the voting. Publicity and emails. I will send one email to you when I post your entries. I will send out a mass email when it is time to vote. I will send a mass email announcing the Awards. I WILL NOT be posting entries on Saturdays or Sundays. I'll send you an email just after I post your entry. So, if you send it on Friday afternoon, you should expect an email from me by about 17:00 GMT on Monday. In general, you should email me if you do not get an email acknowleging your entries within one full day of when you send them (excepting weekends). If you don't hear from me after that, your email box may be full. Check this and then email me again. Time frame. (All times GMT)
Your Artist's Statements must be posted by 18:00 on the entry due date. Entries which have no Artist's Statement are not as likely to get votes. If you don't have an Artist's Statement by the close of voting, you will not be eligible for a Trophy, even if you get enough votes. |
Image and filesize restrictions. I'll be setting up this Challenge using Photoshop's Web Photo Gallery feature. Please send me your final images with the longer side measuring at least 600 pixels. If you send it smaller, it will be enlarged for the gallery and this won't be good. If you send it larger, no crisis. Photoshop will be making the thumbnails, so ... you don't need to make them! As far as filesize, I'll be running the Web Photo Gallery with a quality of 5. My goal is to have images that are about 60K. Images that are less complex will have smaller files. Images that are more complex will have larger files. Of course, it is my hope that all of the images look as good as possible. Because there will be an extra layer of compression with this extra file-save, I'll allow you to submit image files that are up to 120K. Please don't send PSD files. Please ATTACH, do not embed, your files. Keep in mind that this Challenge is about YOU, what you can do, what you can learn from others, and what you can teach them. I look forward to working with you on this Challenge! VotingVote when I tell you to, and not before: In general, I will ask for (n/10) + 1 votes, if n is the number of entries in a category. Vote by sending an email to Janee at the email address below! Who can vote?Only people who have entered this Challenge, or people who have an invitation from Janee to be a Blue Ribbon Judge, may vote in this Challenge. If you want to vote, but have not been invited, email me and ask. Click for full Voting Guidelines. |

February Challenge Topic & RulesTopic... It's about Time!This is the Fifth Anniversary Challenge at myJanee.com! That's right; we've been at this for the past 5 years! For this month, we're doing artwork of objects or situations that make us think of time, or the passing of time. For this Challenge, you may have up to six (6) entries altogether, and NO MORE than two (2) entries for any one category. The categories are these: Click each of these to see a description on the Official Challenge Rules of what that category entails. In general, if you're using a photo's pixels or selections based upon a photo's pixels, then that would be considered a Manipulated Photo. On the photo side, if you're manipulating it very much, it can no longer be considered "pure." I have a listing of allowed "pure" editing techniques on the Rules page. I am the sole judge of whether something will be posted or not. If you have a question about the appropriateness of your entry, the answer is no. :) What you may NOT depict is the usual taboos -- slurs against any particular group or nudity that you'd get in trouble having on network TV. If you are using any images which are not original to you, you must disclose this in your Artist's Statement in the Community Message Board. |
Size Matters!
