Contest Suggestion:
Heroes of Newerth Art of the Week


Rules and guidelines:

1) HoNAotW Threads:
At every Monday there will be a post called Discussion: HoNAotW #X were players can post their opinions about the week's theme.
All themes must involve HoN content (Heroes, Items, Abilities, Situations, Enviroment, etc)

2) Entries:
There will be only one entry per player.
Entries can involve the following art:
- Concept art (Artwork creation)
- Image manipulation (From a stock image)
- Signatures (Size limit: ???x???)
- Icons (Items or Abilities)
Entries will have place at every Monday and it will end on every Friday.
This will give artist some time to create their entries.
All entries must be new and will have to follow the week's theme.
Entries will be PMed to the HoNAotW moderators (to be determined).

3) Voting:
At every Friday there will be a post called Voting: HoNAotW #X were players can vote other people's entries.
Players can't vote their own entries.
Voting will have place between Friday and Sunday of each week with the following method:
Each player emites 3 votes with the following values:
- 1ST vote: 6 Points
- 2ND vote: 4 Points
- 3RD vote: 2 Points
Alternative voting method:
Every player will rate all arts with a value from 1 to 5 points.

4) Rewards:
At the end of the voting phase on Sunday, the 3 arts with most points will have their rewards given:
- 1st Place: 200 Gold Coins
- 2nd Place: 75 Gold Coins and 75 Silver Coins
- 3rd Place: 100 Silver Coins
Alternative Rewards:
1ST: 200 Silver Coins
2ND: 150 Silver Coins
3RD: 100 Silver Coins

5) Notes:
* Rewards can be balanced, this is just the concept. Altough playing MM for an entire week can give you from 150 to 300 silver coins, depending on how many games per day you play. So this contest promotes both coin collection (for those who can't spend a whole week playing) and fan media art in one single contest.
* There will be some S2Staff authorization needed for the rewards of this contest.
