Note: I will sort the entries and set up the polls. Jess will check through everything before the polls go live. We'll both be entering COTY 2011. The polls will display the results automatically, and Lior will post the winners round-up thread.
Most of the categories are now open to Jossverse and Non-Jossverse entries.
Rules for Submission
1) Send a PM to MsBig with photos of your entries in each appropriate category.
2) Deadline for submissions is end of Friday 27th January.
3) You can only submit a maximum of 2 customs in each category. This is because there will be no narrowing-down this year. All submissions will be up for the final vote.
4) You can only post 1 photo for each custom. If you like, you can include multiple images of the custom in this one photo. Maximum photo width x height is 600 x 600 pixels.
5) You can put the same custom in for multiple categories, but try to spread the love a bit. It gets old seeing the same custom over and over.
6) For the COTY categories, you can judge your own skill level and enter in the appropriate category.
7) For most categories, there is no limit on the size and style of the custom. In general, each category can be mini, 6", 7", 12", bust or single figure. Where appropriate, tableaux are also allowed.
8) Each custom must have been displayed on this forum during 2011. Entries that have never been shown on this forum are not valid.
How Voting Will Happen
I will set up a poll for each category in a new sub-board under the Customising Contests board. This board will only appear when voting begins. The voting will last one week.
All BtVSFigs Forum members will be able to vote once in each poll. The results of the voting will be hidden all week, until they appear automatically as the polls are locked at the end.
