Ah and sorry, I have another question Xd
On my computer, it says some of the entrees were entered on 6/19, after the deadline. Is this because of time difference? And if its not, will their artworks still be considered to be in the top ten?
Man I'm taking too long to do mine ;o; I just found out about it Sunday, which gave me a week to work on it and I'm totally slow haha~ Hopefully I get it done on time ;D ♥
I have a question,
I want to submit several entries, so is it alright for them to look sort of similar? Specifically the expression on his/her face and the clothes.
:D
Hey Adam, is there a place where we can view the mascots already submitted? Like with the winter theme art contest? Because it would totally creep me out to make a mascot that looked like something somebody had already made. I want to try and be as original as I can.
I'm a US citizen, but I'm living in New Zealand for 6 months. I return home in less than one month. I still have my US address, house, phone number, family, ect.
Am I allowed to enter even though I won't be in the states on June 18th?
It just has to be anime and New York right?
They have to be combined and all like drawing a anime-ated person crossed over into ms statue of libery?(i know that was the last mascot. )
or they could be something like anime and a little piece of New York in the background?
Sorry. Forgive my stupidity! >.

I have a question about this, if you desire to enter does the photo have to be photoshopped or what because I use prisma colored pencils...is that a hold back on what they decide?
I dislike the mascot contests where you have to design a variation of an existing mascot. (A couple of conventions immediately spring to mind). This is more open to imagination, thus allowing for more creativity to be displayed by the artists.
Oh ho ho... another contest, eh? This is going to be tough since the deadline's two weeks away... just means I'll have to work a little harder (no procrastination this time!!). Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Wow what a contest, it's times like this I really wish I was American ~ Curses ~ Shame the UK doesn't have any good conventions like the US! Great contest though ~ Thumbs up ~ Good luck to anyone who enters too!
Ah NYAF again! My chance for revenge! *laughs* I've gotten better since last year I'll be giving my all again this time. Seems the rules are the same as last year with the requirements and everything. Should be no problem to enter.

Thanks for replying to my previous question :)
Oh yeah, is it possible for a contestant to have more than one artwork in the final ten?

No problem, submit as many as you like, though honestly I don't think it'll improve your chances that much if they're similar

It's easy, just draw any sort of character but in a way that reminds you of New York City, that's all...

Heh, I already saw that one coming... We've had so many contests of this type, it's not a surprise anymore. Boo...
Combining "anime" and "New York City" can be real tough work, considering that the Liberty Statue had already been taken, lol.
