All right, I have the page up for the new contest: http://www.etherealfancy.com/bluecontest.html The contest will run from June 6 to June 20, and the theme is the "Strange and the Familiar". It's a little harder than last month's so I thought I'd make the prize a bit more exciting - the first place winner can choose any $5 item from the Marketplace. Have fun with this one guys :) -Jenna

might want to change the text of the how to enter section. still says to tell you what element is old and what is new so you're not cluelss.

Oh! Thanks for catching that - I'll change it :)

Well, this is another tough theme to wrap around. You know what's cool? I had book marked the last contest page and now it automatically goes to this one. Guess you're stuck with me for the life of your contests BlueVenus (grin) On the contest page you mentioned that you were trying to think of something for a runner up prize.... an award button or banner that one can put on their web page with their picture or store in their chest of treasures would be a very cool item :)

I was thinking that too, firefly.. I'll make one for the winner too :)

Great :) I don't think prizes get any better than that Bluevenus :)

Sounds like a wonderful contest theme. Lets all get out the word and get as many entries as we can. ladynimue :)

Ohhh bluevenus, looks like the only problem with the contest will be picking a winner. Thank you for the running a contest with an "open format". All the entries have been varied and uniquely wonderful. I can hardly wait for the next creation to be posted to the contest site :) ladynimue

The contest page looks so awesome! Thank you to Giovanino for the wondeful examples!! That helps (grin) this dried up mind. There are so many wonderful entries there already, this is exciting!!

@ BlueVenus...
Is this "contest" open to ALL members?? The reason i ask is I am the co-mod for the Photoshop forum and as such I am considered staff, and this often disqualifies me from entering any contest that may appear "fixed" if i were to win (especially if "prizes" are awarded). Does this contest fall under that type of senerio? Would there be any problem with me entering a piece or should i stay to the side.

Don't worry about hurting my feeling it you (all) think it wouldn't be right to have a "staff" entry.

BTW great contest themes...

I am so excited about the contest bluevenus, hard to believe there are ONLY 2 1/2 days left. I was looking through the Market Place to see what $5 could buy. WOW, there are tons of Fantastic items! 1. Ironhart's Poser Buildings 2. Amazing Textues for Daz's Victoria by spectre3 3. Wonderful Fun Dragon Folk by caleb68 Those are just three products of the 10 pages full of $5 items in the Poser Market Place. But Wait there's more:) Not everyone works with poser: $5 Items for Vue dEspirt 61 Alpha Planes for Vue 4 by bluevenus 50 atmosphere for Vue 4 by bluevenus $5 2D items Tribal Tattoos Sets by Neoptolemus Karantas Tileset by karanta $5 items for 3D models Carnifex Blades by Carnifex 3D Text by BuffaloWarDance Assorted Building Props by blhawk **Special note, none of the above merchants are affiliated with the contest (except for bluevenus of course). This is just a small list of the many items the first place entrant can call their own. SOOoooOOOo get those entries in, time is ticking away! oh that reminds me; Alarm Clock by bonestructure :) Eagerly awaiting new submissions! ladynimue
