Alright guys, we had a great turn-out for our first SOTW competition, but there is going to be a new system in place. From now on, there are going to be two sig competitions each week; one for those who are more experienced, and one for those who still have a ways to learn.

You will use the thread in the GFX section to discuss the theme that will be used for both competitions. The sigs will then be PM'd to me, and will be used to decide which competition you will be in for the time being.

If you are evaluated as a "beginner", please don't take offense. It simply means that you are not as experienced as some of our other members.

there's still only one theme each week, right?

Yes m'am, but only for THIS week.

This week, Rebirth will pick the theme that both sections will use. The people who are sent to each section will all stay there for the time being, there's no way to switch.

Then, after the winner is chosen from each section, the winners will pick the theme for the section they are still in.


J00 know?

but what if you send in for one theme and it's deamed your qualified for the higher battle?

You won't be able to to get into the upper SOTW until the next time we evaluate, imho.

meh.... i'm still confused.... i'll wait and see how it works out

i'm also confused by that.. who gets to judge who goes where?

we're gonna get a ranked member to determine. i was actually thinking of letting you guys determine where you go for now. you can enter the NSOTW if you don't think you're ready for the regular one. you'd title your submission title "NSOTW" or "SOTW" and if you're deemed too good to be NSOTW you will be put in the SOTW. simple saavy?

i think that would work.. but what do you mean by ranked member?

On quite a few GFX sites, you submit your works and you are ranked on a school from "low beginner" to "Pro". We're looking for someone on the higher end of that ranking to help judge, imho. If you don't get what I mean, animeblend has a ranking subforum, though they are dead now.
