Submissions: 15 Feb - 15 April 2001
- Submissions will be accepted for two months.
- There is no limit on the number of submissions that one person can make.
- The art can be anything visual (computer drawings, photography,
etc. as opposed to music or poetry)
as long as it is about The Catcher in the Rye, is
your original art, and is displayable on the Web.
(gif, jpg, swf, etc.).
- The file size must be no larger than 100 kilobytes.
- The display size must be no larger than 750 pixels wide by 500 pixels tall.
- No pornography or gratuitously disgusting material allowed. This is
subjective and it's my call.
- I, Suzanne Morine, am not eligible to submit art to the contest.
- Submissions may include your name, handle, or email address, but if
you know me, you
aren't eligible unless you hide your identity (in that case,
use a different email address, too). However, if there are ten or
fewer entries, my knowing you or not knowing you is irrelevant
because the winner would be determined only by the poll in that situation.
- If do you want your name, email, or handle
shown in the gallery, do mention this. I don't think it's right for me to
assume that
you want all of that information up just because I have it in your email header.
- Submissions may include a short description, comment, and suchlike.
Send it with the art (for example: "here's my comment: 'xxx'").
- Submit your entry via
. Alternatively, put it on the Web and email the link and I'll link to it.
- Gallery
- The gallery (the page you
just came from) will show the art until the end of the contest.
- Your submission will appear in the gallery within
a week of submitting it (but probably within a few days).
- If you include
your name/handle, and/or a description, these will appear with your
art in the gallery.
- If the art is rather large, making the gallery clumsy, I may make
a smaller image for
the gallery, letting visitors have a link that they can click to see it
at full size.
- Visitors may comment on the contest during the submission
period, and during the poll.
Voting: 16 April - 30 April 2001
- An online poll will determine the winner.
- Anyone, including me, can vote in the poll. I will set it up
via a FreePoll. Commenting is
available as part of the poll.
- If more than ten entries are in the contest, the poll can't handle it.
In that case, I will narrow the entries down to ten for the poll. In doing
such a pre-selection, I would
try to take into account the opinions
already voiced during the submission period.
Award: 1 May 2001
- The winner will be notified via email.
- The prize is $15 U.S., paid via our PayPal accounts.
(PayPal is
free and you even get $5 for going through the trouble of getting
verified. If the winner doesn't have a PayPal account on 1 May, I'll
wait a reasonable amount of time -- say, a month, tops -- for them to set up
an account there.)
- If the winner cannot accept the award (say their email is not
a valid PayPal account login and they don't reply
within a week or two of notification of winning),
then the prize will go to the runner up (and so on).
Finally, after the contest, I'll ask for permission to keep any art
in the online gallery after May 2001. (I hate when submitting
something to a contest makes them own it. I'll consider it
an honor to keep art up after the contest.)
