For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Whee! It's a HollyPopping set contest! - prizes ^UPPED!^

Sun Feb 20, 2005 7:06 pm

Hellooooo! I've been meaning to do this for a while :) I'm going to hold a classic-stylee set contest, because it'd be nice to have lots of pretty sets that I can use when the mood takes me for a change :)

Prizes are as follows:

1st place: 50k
2nd place: 25k
3rd place: 10k
4th, 5th and 6th place: 5k each.

Prize edit: I'm upping the prizes by another 100k because I think there'll be a lot of high quality entries. I'm not sure how I'm going to distribute it yet, I'll have to decide when I've seen how many entries there are :D

Double prize edit: There is also another 100k available for Christmas/Valentine's/Easter/other special occasions sets, because I'll be needing those too :)

Righty then!! Here are some topics I'd quite like to see on the sets:

Jessica Rabbit
Maroon 5
Evanescence
Butterflies
Stars
Novas
Cybunnies
Red roses
Swirls
Ice cream/chocolate
Anything cute or pretty
Aishas
Robots, including the robot-type petpets (not ones painted Robot though)
LEETLEMEN! Of course :P
Goldys
Old-school Hollywood glamour - Marilyn Monroe etc
Holly leaves and berries, including the Christmas Mortog and the Wreathy if you like
Hearts and general love-type-stuff
Rainbows
Added topics
Angels
Faeries or fairies (i.e., Neopets or non-Neopets fairies)
Sparkly or twinkly things
Rabbits, kittens, parrots or budgerigars, or other pretty birds/cute animals

Colours:
Rainbow colours
Pink
Red
Purple
Blue
Any colours really, I'm easy :)

Shapewise, I don't mind boxes, but I love cutouts and unusual shapes :)

Also if you want to do the set on any topic not listed in the list, i'll probably still like it, I'm easy to please :D

Edit: Also, I don't mind if it says HollyPop, hollypop or holly :) And subtext is up to you, but if you're stuck, PM me or post here with the topic of your set and I'll try to think of some subtext :)

Edit edit: I really like cursive fonts for the writing, but normal fonts are good too, depends on the set really :)

Also animation is good if you can do it, but it's not even slightly necessary :D

Also also, I'm a real stickler for spelling and punctuation, so please try to make sure there aren't any mistakes in your set, because I'll cry if there are!

Finally, entering more than one set is fine - in fact I actively encourage it! Hehe :)

Edit: Double finally, the contest does not have a fixed closing date. It'll finish when no one wants to make any more sets, so there's plenty of time!

All right. It's certainly not the best set I've ever made, but I'll enter it anyways. (Can't pass up a chance at 50k!)

I'll probably make a set on the weekend :) .

For some reason, what I see in my mind and what ends up as a set are almost always 2 different things! Overactive imagination, maybe?

Had to try a Marilyn Monroe set ... I have tons! of pictures and books about her. There's always just been something special about her. I tried to kind of duplicate the Hollywood sign ...
