Currently, the default wallsets only feature six complete wallsets, a few partial ones (which only have basic walls and doors), and many which are only simple walls with no frills. The Project will not only complete the existing wallsets but also provide the community with new exciting terrain to design towns with. 1. Entry Procedures and Qualifications 1.1. Eligibility All entries must be wallsets that are complete in that they include in the proper layout: basic walls, cutaways, doors open and closed, portculli open and closed, windows, and cracked or decrepit wall. All entries lacking these or with an improper layout will not be accepted. 1.1.1. Previous Contests Wallsets that were entered into previous graphics design contests like the First BoA Graphics Competition are eligible. 1.2. Categories Each of the default wallsets (whether complete or not in the editor) will be given its own category and judged separately. Example categories are: Wooden Wall, Web Wall, etc. Other categories will be: Original Wallsets consisting of walls that have been designed differently than any existing wallset, and Cliffs which must have a wallset (either original or default) that they match. 1.2.1. Modified/Mixed Wallsets Any wallsets which are modifications, edits, or combinations of existing wallsets may either be entered under one of two categories: 1) The wallset which the modified wallset most resembles, or 2) the original wallset category. 1.2.2. Cliffs All cliffs must pertain to an existing wallset or one entered in the Original Wallset category. 1.3. Entry Limits Every artist is limited to two submissions per category except the Original Wallset and Cliffs categories where there is no limit pending rule 1.2.2. for Cliffs and provided that the entries are not duplicates. 1.4. Submission All entries should be submitted to bckiedrowski AT wisc DOT edu (replace the AT and DOT appropriately). Because of spam blockers, send a second e-mail with only text with an appropriate heading. Your entry will be received upon the receipt of a confirmation e-mail. If such e-mail is not received in five days, please resend it. 1.5. Property & Ownership All entires will automatically be submitted to the Louve with author information for crediting purposes for general use by the designing community. 2. Deadlines and Judging 2.1. Entry Deadline All wallsets must be received by March 31, 2005 by 11:59 CST to be eligible for judging. The Olympia staff reserves the right to extend the deadline in the event of low submissions or other extenuating circumstances. 2.2. Judging Judges will be recruited to judge the entries based on merits of overall quality, usefulness, shading, etc. in their respective categories. All entries will be given a score from 1 to 10 with 1 being low, 5 being average, and 10 being high. The graphic with the highest mean score wins the category. Scores will largely be the discretion of the judge. Artist Points will be awarded based on mean average scores as stated in rule 2.2.1. 2.2.1. Artist Points All entries in every category except the Original Wallset category will receive +1 points to their artist score for each wallset with a composite mean average score of 6.00 or higher. The winner of each category except the Original Wallset category will receive an additional bonus of +4 points. All entries in the Original Wallset category will receive +3 points for each wallset with a composite mean average score of 6.00 or higher. The winners of the Original Wallset category will receive additional point bonuses as follows: 1st place receives +17 points, 2nd place receives +12 points, 3rd place receives +7 points, and 4th and 5th place receive +2 points. 2.3. Winning The artist with the most points after all categories are judged wins the competition. 3. Other Protocols 3.1. The Olympia staff has the right to modify these rules as necessary. All decisions made by the Olympia staff on the eligibility of entries is final. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

If none are posted within the next day or so, I will formally announce the contest. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!
