Can someone please clarify to me why the 2d contest rejects any entries with 3d elements, yet the promo has a 3d generated woman?

Because the mods make the banners, and none of us can draw, but the 2D traditional artists deserve a category regardless.

Thanks for the reply. But can you understand how that is misleading and confusing?

Hi. What's the maximum length for the video in the animation category? Also how can the photography by retouched in the photography contest? Can you add effects, grading and stuff?

thanks.

And also in the 3D category, how much 2D can be used for background for example?

Max video file size is 1500 MB/1.5 GB and the accepted files are: .mp4 (H.264 Encoded) or .gif. There is an aspect ratio for video which is 16:9 for the video player. The dimension of an upload will scale to fit this aspect ratio.

     3D - you can use a 2d background in the 3d category

I was ready to raise several questions, which were answered by other comments. Thank you for this update, and kudos to the admin for being so active.

As one of the contest manager seem to be judging quite randomly what is following the rules or not based on her own taste and imagination (or lack of), could you please elaborate what "No nudity" means before I get another entry banned? Thank you.

When as you say their own thumbnail/promo is in direct opposition of their rules...  on a purely technical base... 
How can we know what is allowed or not???

The Entry Specifications are listed on the Contest page.

I am trying to upload a video for the animation contest, it's 550MB less than half the size of the 1500MB. I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error when it's about halfway.

How can we understand the rules if you don't clarify them when a question arise? Can we show buttocks or not????

The TOS states nudity as an image showing "more skin than the amount you would see when wearing a thong bikini."

Ok, so I am not allowed to post an image as an example, therefore my question is deemed meaningless. I am only trying to understand the rules. But you prefer to ban posts.

I am told "no buttocks" and then I see an artwork depicting someone showing his ass.

I am talking about Entry 22 in the Blood Moon Contest so the question won't be meaningless.

Can you please clarify the rules?

I mean... really.... how can we follow the rules... ??

 I explained this to you in the sitemail. Your image needs to be 1200 x 1200 pixels or..1200 pixels on the largest side.  All you need to do is make the largest side 1200 pixels. 

largest side must be maximum 1200 pixels according to the rules. 

last I heard, 1199 is smaller than 1200, no?

Yes, 1199 is smaller. However, in order to keep members from making their images too small the largest side MUST be 1200 pixels. Please change the size of the image to fit the guidelines. You have until the deadline tomorrow.

Why do you keep changing the rules???  it is not written that it MUST be 1200....  it is written maximum 1200...

It really feels more and more like a rigged contest.

I keep getting 403 Forbidden after I try to submit.

Just submitted twice my entries - no confirmation, hope it worked!
