Contest rules
From Filter Forge Wiki
Contents |
Deadlines:
The contest will typically last 3 weeks from the date of inception the actual date is given in the contest thread.
The contest will close sometime during the deadline date. There are no guarantees as to when exactly this is (time or timezones) if you don't get your filter in before it is locked too bad.
All submissions made must be filters submitted to the filter forge library within the starting and ending dates of the contest. If the official submission thread closes before you were able to submit, or before you see your filter in the library, tough luck- next time don't procrastinate.
Judges:
Donors of prizes may request to be judges. The "game-master" will handle these requests on an individual basis, it will be rare to turned down unless a large number of judges already exists.
Judges cannot compete in the current contest. They will not discuss scores or filters with anyone else. They are free to be sociable and helpful in the off-topic threads, but must not imply that following suggestions will warrant a higher score.
Submissions:
Posting anything other than the properly formatted submission in the official contest thread is grounds for disqualification. ALL posts must link to a filter IN the library and include a numeric submission ID.
NO pictures in the submission thread. Frequent violations may result in disqualification. Discussion about the current contest or filters submitted can take place in the individual filter comment pages or in the unofficial threads in other forums.
Submitting more than one filter is grounds for disqualification. Unlimited updates are allowed, but if an update is submitted after the competition has closed there is no guarantee the judgment will be with the most recent version.
Winning:
Winners will be notified via private message.
The original post of the now locked sticky will be updated with the top three winners.

Miscellaneous:
Copying of filters and techniques is to be brought to the attention of the game-master. ONLY he shall made decisions regarding the matter. Judges are not to weigh things differently based upon claims of copying.
Outcomes are FINAL. Once the game-master has announced the winners it is no longer up for dispute. Any questionable copying must be brought to light before the announcement is made.
