May Character '08 Contest

[Erias Moderator]

Erias Spring OoC Contest
Our very first contest is here! Actually, it's more than one contest in order to allow those who are unable to create graphics and/or videos to participate and show us their creative side as well.

The Contests
Theme: Character

[.] Video
Vid making seems to be very popular nowadays, and a lot of role-players like to create music videos for their characters. This is exactly what is asked for this contest. Choose the perfect song for your character or perhaps you rather choose someone else's character, and create a video for them.

[.] Movie Poster
What if there was to be a movie made about your character? What would the "coming soon" poster look like? In a 8.5" x 11" (612 x 792 pixels) format, create this poster in whatever graphics program you desire. It must include the name of the movie but any other written information is optional.

[.] Poem
It can rhyme or it doesn't have to, that is up to you. Write a poem about your character from a third person perspective about a certain event in their life, about their personality, or anything else you want, but it must be about that one character.

[.] Soundtrack
When you role-play, do you ever put music on that reflects the mood of your character or the scene? Does your character have a theme song? With no less than six songs, create a soundtrack that centers around your character. Give the soundtrack a name, and list the name and artist of each song that you use. Also, beneath each song you must explain why you chose this song and how it relates to the character. Just a brief sentence will do. You are welcome to create a 6" x 5" (432 x 360 pixels) CD cover to go along with it, or ask someone else to create that for you (just as long as you give them credit).

The Rules

[1] Yes, you are allowed to enter more than one contest, all four if you want. Each mun is only allowed four entries, despite the amount of characters you play. If you wish to do two poems and two soundtracks, that's fine. Or two poems, one vid, and one poster. Whatever you want. However, you can't do three of the same contest. For example, you can't submit three vids.

[2] If you are a part of more than one SL in Erias, you are allowed to enter again. However, you are only allowed to do up to six entries in total. So if you wish to do all four contests, then another poster and another poem, you can. It's all up to you on what the six entries will be.

[3] You do not have to use one of your own characters. You may do these contests with another's character if they are okay with it and that you believe you know that character well enough.

[4] If doing more than one contest, you do not have to use the same character for all four (or less) unless you want to.


If you have any questions regarding the contests, please e-mail [e-mail].
To submit an entry, go to the appropriate thread and post your entries on the correct sub-board.
Deadline for submissions: May 31st.

NOTE: Each vid, poem, poster, and soundtrack must be about only ONE character. You don't have to use the same character for all four, but each can only be related to ONE character. No couples/siblings/etc.
