GCEA ONE YEAR
SPRITE CONTEST!

Hello, good members, and welcome to the GCEA One Year Commemoration Sprite Contest!
As you may have gathered from the title, this contest is to celebrate GCEA's one year birthday at PXR. Yes, this is a sprite contest, so get your pixels ready and use that imagination!

About the Contest!
In this wonderful GCEAOYCSC, you will be designing and making your own hypothetical pre-evolved form of either of the Legendary Pokémon, Kyogre or Groudon! You can do both if you like, and enter both sprites. You can have references to their Primal forms if you like, but that's entirely up to you. As long as you design a pre-evolved form and sprite it yourself, that's all we're asking for.

There will be two winners--one will be the winning Kyogre pre-evolution sprite, and the other will be a Groudon pre-evolution sprite.

In order to win, you will need to succeed in these areas:

• Creativity
• Neatness
  (includes shading, smooth lineart and colouring)
• Effort
• Likeness to Groudon/Kyogre

You need only make one sprite that is either a pre-evolution of Groudon or a pre-evolution of Kyogre in order to enter and possibly win,
BUT
you are perfectly within your rights to make and submit BOTH a pre-evolution of Groudon and a pre-evolution of Kyogre if you like. It is possible for BOTH of your sprites to win.

What's up for grabs?

As a prize, if you win, you will receive the following:

1. You will win a REAL LIFE Pokémon keychain!* Looks like this! (Ignore the Pokemon Card.)
2. Your sprite will be featured in all three Hoenn GCEAs! (Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.)
3. You will win 30 points
4. You win a free Ditto for your character in GCEA
   

It is possible to win the Groudon pre-evolution AND the Kyogre pre-evolution side of the contest. In which case, the winner will receive this twofold, with the exception of the second Pokémon being a different species than another Ditto.

*This first prize relies on people being able to give @Shadow Tracker Max a valid postal address. If this is not possible, you will win 60 points and an extra free Pokémon of your choice.


The contest begins on the 16th of June, 2014 and closes on the 30th of June.


Rules:

1. All PXR rules apply!
2. You may only enter a maximum of two sprites into the contest. However, in this circumstance, it needs to be ONE Kyogre pre-evolution and ONE groudon pre-evolution. You may not submit two Groudon pre-evos or two Kyogre pre-evos.
3. Your sprite must be in by the deadline
4. You must not use NON-OFFICIAL sprites! This means, do not use any sprites that are not in the games unless you've made them yourself! Basically, don't use sprites you didn't make or that aren't from the game.
5. YOU MUST HAVE FUN.
