General rules:- Each contestant can submit as many entries as they want, but each qualifying for a different subcategory. Meaning you can eg. submit pixel art and a drawing, but not 2 drawings. Be reasonable with the subcategories, though.
- Each entry has to be submitted in a separate topic. Topics' name should be "[Category] - [Username] - [subcategory (if applicable)][name of the submission]".
- You can submit entries finished/started before the contest has started in all categories, but you have to state that in the OP. Those entries will most probably be given separate categories.
- You can post WIP images and discuss in your topic, but be sure to post your final entry in the OP (your first post).
- You can change your entry as many times as you want, but make sure to change title in topic's name and post your work in the OP.
- Depending on number and diversity of entries in each category, we will announce subcategories in which you can vote. In some cases, we will sort the entries, so that they can only be voted for in one subcategory (eg. pixel art or fragvid)
- We allow cooperation, but only up to 2 people, with the exception of MODS category, where bigger teams are allowed.
- If you're looking for a team to work with on an entry you are allowed to create a thread here (Haxxy general board) or in specific category.
- You can submit your entries until August 15, but we may also give you some "overtime" after that, so it's not a final deadline.
- You are allowed, or even encouraged, to add links to your entries in your signature
Be sure to read everything, not only the things in bold.
If something seems unclear, or if you have some questions, please post your concerns in the Haxxy General board or ask in the FAQ topic.More information regarding subcategories:What are categories and subcategories?Categories are the ones with separate sets of rules.
Those are:
Best Map
Best Mod
Best Mod Idea
Best Plugin
Best Screenshot
Best Gang Garrison-Related Art
Best Fake Update Poster
Other Cool Gang Garrison-Related stuff
Subcategories are created within the main 8 categories in case of big number and/or diversity of entries to ensure every good stuffmaker gets rewarded.
Do I have to come up with a subcategory?No, as long as you only submit one entry in a category. If you want to submit more, each has to be in a separate subcategory. Don't make the subcategories too similar, though. We'll keep an eye on the entries and most probably notify you if there are any problems with yours.
