Giant Free Contest see (new) Extended Deadline! :)

Hi guys,





In celebration of the new movie being released end of this year, founders of many Free! groups have come together to give you deviant artists the biggest Free! competition,

Past, Present, Future!

This competition is unlike any other competition you have ever seen before, as it runs over 9 different groups:



You have to be a member of at least one participating group to join!



RUNNING TIME

STARTS
June 1st

ENDS
August 31st

September 30th
11:59pm AEST
Check what time it will be for you!



THEME AND CATEGORIES

As said earlier the theme is Past, Present, Future.

So we'd like to see all sorts of works from different points of times in the series, from both Iwatobi Swim Club, Eternal Summer, High Speed or 'Future Fish'!

There will be three categories:
ART
LITERATURE
CRAFT
Miscellaneous works such as cosplay, photography etc. will be included in the Craft category.



RULES

Only ONE entry per category (max.3)
Keep all entries SFW (low maturity levels) No gore, nudity etc.
No OCs, bases, photomanips or vectors
New and completed artworks only
Accepting genderbends, AUs and BL

Update 19/08/15

The competition will only continue running if we have a minimum of 16 people participating, at this number everyone will win one prize. Although in previous events, we haven't reached this number, so be sure to spread the word.

With the prizes gathered, I'll be sure to warn you that if you are a winner, you'll be requested to provide us with a shipping address (via note). So just bare that in mind! In cases where one cannot be provided, unfortunately we cannot give any other compensation, and you'll have the rest of the prize without the shipped items.

Change in entry rule - You can enter as many times as you want in as many categories, but you can only win one prize.



Updated 31/08/15

Although only one person has requested it, this competition will be extended for ONE MORE MONTH ending September 30th!
If any of the prize donors (listed below), can't supply prizes at that time and wish to drop out, please tell FatLittleSeal!
mewTalina, animepikachu, ZinniaSnowdrop, Misaki-Kurenai, hissorihaka, SaucyDoll,Yami-The-Orca
If many prizes are depleted, she'll buy more merchandise within the next month, as she's going to Oz Comic Con soon.

She's really sad to hear that only FIVE (at the time she wrote this) people have entered over the 3 month time period. The min16 people rule still runs.
If this number isn't reached by end of September, there will be no more extensions because things start to get busy after that time, and she has to start preparing for the annual Secret Santa.

Please enter, as she can't return any of the material prizes, they'll just be sitting around without use!! (So it's your loss~!)



HOW TO SUBMIT

Entries are submitted to the Event Folder
Include in the title of your entry, what category you're entering
e.g. Literature - TITLE

Entries are to be submitted to relevant groups
e.g. RinHaru artworks go to Haruka-x-Rin.

Just so you know, since Free-Fans is an all-rounder group, they'll be accepting everything in-case you are part of other groups which are not running this competition.

Multiple entries of the same work to different groups will be allowed

Be sure to understand doing this will not make a difference in your possibilities of winning. You'll simply be just adding your artwork to other groups so people will see it more...
