Shades of Autumn Contest - Deadline Extended!

Fri May 22, 2009, 8:57 PM
* Hello, Cats! - Several comrades asked for a bit more time on the contest, so we are extending the deadline to 05 JUNE 09. Check out all the categories, there's something for everyone. *

Please submit entries to :iconjademacalla: ~ *jademacalla

Well, we've got a lot of new Autumn Country stuff in the works and to help kick it off we thought we'd host a mid-year Autumn Country contest (mid-year from Autumn, that is). This one is similar to the big annual contest, but with a focus on illustrating and adding to the world of Autumn Country as close to 'canon' as possible.

One of the main reasons we are slanting this contest in this way is to promote an entirely new aspect of the official Autumn Country site, called Shades of Autumn. This part of the site will permanently feature stories and artwork that have captured particularly well the characters, themes and visual imagery of the Autumn Country project. Here are the details.

The 1st Annual Shades of Autumn Contest

Contest Overview:

- Create original art works illustrating or expanding on the stories and/or characters of Autumn Country; DJINN Productions' fictional frameworld that explores myth, folklore, strangeness, and storytelling (among other things). These can be related to existing stories or they can be entirely new, but the focus is on being as true as possible to the 'frame world' that Autumn Country has established.

- The contest includes several categories. You can submit in multiple categories and you can submit as many entries as you like. The categories are:

Visual Arts; i.e. drawings, paintings, photo-manips, collage, motion pictures, etc.

Writing; i.e. stories, vignettes, screenplays, poetry (no, we're not kidding about the poetry)

Branding & Merch; i.e. posters, T-shirt designs, promotional material, bumper stickers, anything that might help spread the word about Autumn Country (no matter how odd the idea or design).

Stock Imagery; i.e. Stock images created specifically to illustrate, and help other artists illustrate, the world of Autumn Country. These do not necessarily have to be Model Stock, but ALL ENTRIES in this category must state which specific character, place, or thing from AC the image is intended to represent.


- Entries do not have to be brand new works of art, but they do have to relate very closely to the stories, characters, and specific themes of Autumn Country.

- Judging will be based on creativity, execution, and how well the piece captures the 'Autumn Country vibe' while staying true to the 'mechanics' of the Autumn Country world. For the Branding & Merch category, judging will also be based on the usability and potential impact of the design or idea.

- Deadline: June 5, 09

I really like what I've seen/read so far. Only one thing bothers me...some of this is hitting a little to close to home. (St. Pete, that is and family in GA.) I'll sift through the story some more before I say anthing else...

Love the concept so far.

Toby :)

Hey there, thanks for the comment. We really appreciate it.

I know exactly what you mean about hitting too close to home. It's a good thing that Jade character is nothing at all like me... :D
