This contest was imported from Pokepavillion, But since we merged I figured we could move this contest here to get some spriting activity started. All entries have been removed since I'm not sure everybody who entered originally is going to join here, But feel free to re-enter a sprite if you were one of these people.

What exactly is this contest about?
This is, As the title suggests, A holiday spriting contest. It'll be similar to the monthly spriting contests on PS, Since those were highly popular and got a lot of participants. There will be a few different categories with different holiday-related themes. The main aim of the contest is to help you hone your spriting skills and have fun making these holiday-themed sprites!
Rules:

1. No spammin', Flamin', Or trollin' of any kind.
2. Be a good sport.
3. All PP rules apply.
4. No stealing sprites.
4. Have fun! (Although this rule is not strictly enforced.)
Please put the phrase "Ho Ho Ho" in your form to prove you read these rules.

Details:
The contest goes from December 1st to December 28th, Giving everyone a good four weeks to submit entries. The judges will determine the winner of each category by January 2nd. The winner of each category shall receive a Medal to put in their signature or anywhere else they would like. You may enter multiple categories, But not with more than one entry.

Category 5-Delibird

Let's face it, Delibird has it rough. Despite being merry and jolly and saving people with life-sustaining sandwiches, People make fun of him for his being mediocre at battling. But we have a category just for him, The official pokemon of Christmas. Any sprite involving the wanna-be santa Delibird can be entered here. Let's give the guy a little time in the spotlight, Huh? It's the holidays!

Hydra, do you know if the three last judges are here at PXR? If they aren't, we could wait a few days for them.

[The-Hydra]

I don't know about Ohjay and Pokemanic, But three judges will have to do if they don't show up.

[Mr. Nyan]

Oh, I forgot abot Corrupt. I saw him around here... Let's give them a few days, and then if they don't show up, we could start the sign up for judges.

yeah, I'm here, not too active in posting but that should change, haha. Can't wait for this to see how different the spriting styles are of this community compared to PS, I bet it's going to become a great competition once it kicks off.

If you want, I could create a banner when I get back from school later? Or is someone else creating one/you aren't having one?

[Sir Sivelos]

I have an entry! Ho ho ho!:D

A banner would be great! And no, No one else is making one currently, So it would work.

[Mr. Nyan]

I have a doubt. Well, we need to PM you the score during the judging time, right?

[The-Hydra]

Well, I haven't really gotten a chance to explain the judging system... Let's start a group PM with the judges so we stop cluttering the contest.

Other: I suck pretty bad at sprites but i figured there's only one way to get better, and that's to make sprites. I don't have the skill to win but i still enjoyed making this.
