Round 1 of the Photo Art poll results are here.

I'd like to thank everyone who took part again this year, and to Crispy who helped a lot with the organising when I couldn't be here to do it.

There were some absolutely amazing entries, making it difficult for many of us to vote, but we got there in the end.

I hope everyone will look forward to next year's competition!

The Polls Are Open!

2007-05-23T12:30:00.000+01:00

The polls are OPEN!

You have three votes in each poll. The Photo Art category has been split into three polls due to its size, and there will be a run-off poll for the 15 entries with the most votes when these polls close.

It's Art Competition Time!

2007-05-23T11:15:00.000+01:00

It's art competition time again! Does time fly or what?

This year we'll have a little longer for submissions - 6 weeks. Submissions will be open from the 3rd of June and will close on the 15th of July. Again voting should only take a week after that but it will depend on how many submissions we receive.

McCaffrey Art: Anything with an Anne theme, whether it's a picture, painting, CGI work or a sculpture. Don't forget Anne writes outside of Pern!

Photo Art: Something you have taken a photo of - could be your big toe, a landscape, something that has amazed you - you choose!

Traditional Art: This is where you might have a painting or sculpture or drawing or CGI image that isn't Anne based that you would like to submit.

Miscellaneous Art: This category is open to anything else you think might come under this category, as last year, a doll you made, or perhaps a cake, a floral arrangement, a garden layout, a craft or cross-stitch, something you knitted or maybe even a sound recording! (I'm sorry, poetry or stories will not be accepted, but only because it's impossible to compare)

Now because of the volume of pictures we receive each year we'd like to keep on using the KT photobucket account for submissions, to try and make it easier for everyone to upload their own, and to save on space etc.

We would like, if possible, for all pictures to go in there - if you want to submit a picture you can ask any host for the password which will give you access so you can upload it yourself, or if you're unsure how to upload your picture, just ask for help and I'm sure someone will be able to add it to the album for you. There is a separate album for each category so please make sure you're uploading to the right one.

When you want to upload your picture, it will be easier for us to set up the art competition pages if everyone names their pictures by their username first, with the name of the artwork after it - for example I would call my first piece of artwork "Jax_mypicture.jpg", or "Jax_1.jpg" when I upload it.

If you're still unsure how to proceed just ask!

Once you've uploaded your picture to the appropriate photobucket album, post the link in the thread making sure to tell us which category you're submitting it for, and the name of the piece of art!

We would like you to submit no more than 3 entries per category so as not to overwhelm the voters!

Please feel free to ask any questions at any time and we'll do our best to answer them for you! Also, suggestions are always welcome!

Now, go and have some fun! You have 6 weeks!
