We should really set rules here.
1. At anyone time when two(2) Competitions are going on, no other Competitions should be able to start out, and only can be posted after one compeition subsides and results announced, not as whereby the date the competition says it will finish
1.1 But when there is a 4 week long holiday or more, three to four competitions are allowed to prevent disputes and arguments over the many competitions hosted.
1.2 At anytime when a competition does not have at least 30/ as deemed by the host submissions by the end of the competition dateline, they are allowed to continue extendning the competition
2. Competitions should be thought with care and precision and not like some random crappy theme that you want to host.
3. You have to define the theme of your competition fully, and not like "Simplicity Competition"
and no definition.
4. Only 3 (three) Threads are allowed regarding the competition.
5. Standard guidelines. (credit darkdegree)
please link it back!
Requirements to Fulfill:
As long as there is a factor of "YOUR COMPETITION TITLE" In your blogskin that is submitted, it can be
1 Blah
2 Blah
Rules:
1. credit every resources, specific URL is to be given to everyone of them
1.1 basecodes must be creditted directly to the skin you used from
1.2 images must be given a full direct link
1.3 fonts for the image MUST be creditted as well
2. skin must be submitted to blogskins.com or it will not be judged
2.1 do attach this banner:
http://blah.com-image url
, otherwise it will be marked out as VOID.
2.2 the skin must be downloadable (blogger main) and previewable.
2.3 a maximum of 2 entries to one user is allowed only
2.4 and encourages people to do this
3. Skins for other competition cannot be submitted here again, you have to create or modify the skin and link it to the previous skin of the "Last Summer" Competition, to allow the judges to compare and contrast, otherwise, it'd be unfair if you won two awards.
4. SOTD and NON-SOTD makes no difference in the judging of the skin.
5. Do no rip skins off, they would be voided.
6. Edit the picture, at least a little, don't take it off wholesale- photoshop, paint and others are allowed. Any software is allowed.
7. YOU MAY RESUBMIT your skin that has not gone for any competition if you created one long ago, as long as the date states: DATE, TIME [REGION TIME GMT (+8)] onwards!
8. You must post your blogskin url here otherwise, it'd not be accepted as well!
9. A Maximum of 12345 Skins from each submitter is allowed.
Marks Allocation
1. THEME - Number of marks
1.1 is the blogskinner able to substain the theme throughout the whole blogskin.
1.2 is the blogskinner able to maintain the title of their skin, with the sub theme of blah
2. CODES - Number of marks
2.1 is the blogskinner able to get the color of the title, bold, underline, strikethrough, link, itallic to fit to the whole theme and color of the image.
2.2 is the blogskinner able to get the codes in a neat format that those who don't know html will even understand.
3. DESIGN -Number of marks
3.1 is the designer able to collage the different pictures or one picture to fit nicely like a jigsaw puzzle into the blogskin.
3.2 is the color combination right
3.3 organisation skill of the designer to format the skin to look neat
3.4 iamge quality with the style of the designer
3.5 Is a THEME'S SUBTHEME outstanding e.g. blah whatever in blah, is it able to be seen. Is the sub-theme, able to outstand through the image.
4. EFFORT - Number of marks
4.1 the way we observe from the cutting and pasting of the pictures into one blogskin if you are doing one.
4.2 The codes are done up with great effort like writing on your own, starting it out from scratch.
4.3 Quality of the work with their limited resources
4.4 Their SOAB Skills.
Significance / tructure / ufficent
how is your skin good in signifying the topic you are covering on? the Structure/layout design is considered as well. Is the structure of the code good? Is there sufficent related to topic-coverage?
Organisation
Basically how you organize the layout the format, the codes the way information is listed, how you start the entry column, the header, style.
Attractiveness
what we judge is based on how well you attract people with the TITLE/ SCHEME/ LAYOUT or even the codes. and the picture (with limited softwares on hand).
BOLD
the boldness of your design, not highlighting to bold in your normal document context, but how differnt it outstands from the other designs. how well you tried to do your pictures, maybe a different style, and of course how you put your point across to the blogskin-user. freshness of your idea, originality.
4.5 Basically this is what it means by SOAB and effort.

u mean we can copy from here the next time we host a competition? If so, THANK YOU
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Heh, for the first part, i think it will be better if we can decide on it.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
:?|
I am confused with this whole thing.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
ohk wait.
the competitions if there are more than 2 and so the last one will be out cause of the time frame period that many people are not gonna sub so much at this school period some more!
and if you jolly well want to let audieekewgirl host another comp and she has very little submissions for her comp wouldn't it be like !@#$%
|
| |
| |
|
| |
._.
yah might as well get another date, where the subbs will be more.
obviously?

"Significance / tructure / ufficent"
You spelt 'sufficient' wrongly; you forgot the 'i' between the 'c' and 'e'.
And since the first two are nouns shouldn't you just use 'sufficiency' instead?

LOL! I'm truly blown away by your adeptness and profession in English.
I just hope I didn't use the wrong words AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Whee. Agree to the terms.
It's better than seeing one whole load of competitions at one go when it's not even the holidays.
BUT the problem is that seeing as blogskins.com has people coming from different countries, holidays would be on different months/days. So is it with regards to Singapore's holidays or what?
Guess you should consider that fact too?
|
| |
| |
|
| |
but most of us are from sg o.O
Most. so they might have to adapt to sg
|
| |
| |
|

Well, that's pretty unfair to them then.

I somehow feel that this site is getting more and more and more dominated by Singaporeans, especially with their Singlish.

yawn why not just restrict all competitions to a time limit, say, 2 weeks? because if i host a competition and another host one, both for 2months long, that would restrict other skinners from hosting anymore for a veeery long time.
as for crediting the format of host guidelines to you, i think there isnt a need unless it really is copied for line by line. competitions have been hosted for ages and what you just listed out, im sure, is a mere compilation of guidelines based on observations and input from previous competitions. in that case, should crediting really be that strict, you would have to factor in your credits as well, that is, for older blogskinners.
|

i agree with intrigue.d D:
If you host a competition that is 2months long, that is so blocking other people having a chance to hold another one ):
Blogskins is getting weirder each day. lol.
|

|

Alexia, lol, Blogskins is getting weirder each day.
& 狂然怪異, look at the bright side bah.
Your "adeptness and profession in English" has made you more well-known, no?
I'm not making fun. (:
|
| |
| |
|
| |
wow. O.O
|
| |
| |
|
| |
I think this is great, because of the competition craze (NOT AGAIN?!) yeah man. but yeah. its better to have that as TOC (terms of conditions) instead, i mean, who are you to make the rules?
|
| |
| |
|
| |
And I think guidelines are not appropriate? I mean, they are like quite formal, and its weird to follow guidelines on competitions. Except that like jia you jia gui, guo you guo fa.
But then again, won't like this thread be washed down or something. Unless its pinned by Myles and agreed by him. And added in TOC (could be TOC of forums)

"But when there is a 4 week long holiday or more, three to four competitions are allowed to prevent disputes and arguments over the many competitions hosted."
whats with the holiday?!?!?!?!?!
i mean this site is international and it doesnt revovle only in SINGAPORE.. you post a reply in my thread last time and you said host this comp somewhere when its already on holidays
like im already on holiday!! our school is over! and this is international...
& our school our holidays is on march-may
than school starts to june-feb.
what i think is that your so harsh
you dont have to say those words like
"You have to define the theme of your competition fully, and not like "Simplicity Competition"
and no definition."
that i think your probably right ..... but you dont have to be so harsh
just cool it down and tell others just like me the right words to tell not like discharge of with anger

ohk sorry
 i'm pissed and with "mood-swings" these few days that sooo many competitions are coming up and that is very very very worried about the submissions of my competition.
ohk. maybe if that's the case i mean like it'd be also sad that you'd be like getting so little submissions cause there are lots of competitions going on already.
cools down and settles down :X tries to fake a stereotype smile to think that everything's alright
|
| |
| |
|
| |
ehh no biggie. only a competition craze. -.- everything is alright.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
just boycott the competition.
let the thread sink.
case closed.
good competition will stay afloat. and tada. a natural way to filter competitions.
guidelines are useless actually. how many people would actually come read all that you have written?
Although i think the format of the competition introduction is kind of helpful.
|
| |
| |
|
| |
actually we don't really have to credit directly to the source...
normally what a resource site requires is only to credit back to their site ._.
don't kill me *runs away*
but maybe crediting an image directly to the source will tell you how much effort is placed in to edit the image?

i believe that every competition starter has a right to decide his/her own competition ruling and guidelines.
|
| |
| |
|

Lol, Dejun sounds harsh only because before this someone "stole" his guidelines and anyway, there is no "Thou shall use my guidelines, or thunder shall strike you a million times" or whatever right?
It's for those who want to host comps and don't know how to write guidelines.
& Glen is right also, so take this as a comp guidelines guide. xD
Oh, and DELETEDUSER, what natural filter.
Audieee-kewgirl got flamed, is that natural filter?
I believe you get either a good or bad response, and rarely does a "lousy" comp thread become dead so fast. (:
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Dejun is angry O: oh.
So, is Audieee-kewgirl's competition still going on?
|
| |
| |
|
| |
Dunno, but don't think anyone will join?
What with the ongoing other competitions (Last Summer and Polaroid)...
