What exactly is this? It's a contest to win cool and rare prizes! The goal is to make a life-sized headgear that could be worn by an in-game avatar, but in the real world. The best and most creative entries will be selected on October 24, 2014.
Rules
- Create a headgear in real life and take a photograph, following the rules listed here.
- Include a piece of paper with the date on it in your product photo.
- Include back-up step by step pictures of the creation process in the event you are accused of cheating. This is to protect applicants from any drama.
- It must be wearable; the size to fit a human head. No miniature or jumbo versions.
- Must be hand made. You can't go out to the store and buy a Ribbon Headband and then tell me it's a cute ribbon. No.
- You can submit one existing headgear (present on iRO) entry, and one original headgear entry. Both are separate contests. You may participate in both, but only one entry for each.
- End date October 24th.
Brackets
Your entry will be graded from the following outcomes. The longer, harder, and more effort you appear to spend on your submission, the more "points" you will earn. These points have nothing to do with winning or losing, but they will decide which bracket you will compete in against others. This is so that people who put more effort into their submission have a better chance at winning compared to someone who spent 5 minutes. This will be handled by a judgement panel that has extended experience in judging forum contests. CM Oda will decide the final winner.
Complexity: Out of 5 points. Example: Fashioning an Orc Hero Helm is more complex than a Spiky Band. Challenge yourself!
Quality: Out of 5 points. Example: If you go out of your way to collect real feathers or materials, it will score higher than simply "recreating" it with paper.
Skill: Out of 5 points. Example: It is intricately painted or knitted - something not everyone would be able to do. If you used a special skill, please include a description in your post so I am sure to know what you did (include pictures).
There will be a special Originality bracket. There are no skill brackets within this bracket so it's more of a risk, but if you want to design your own headgear you are welcome to compete separately in this one. I will accept an additional submission for this bracket ONLY alongside an entry to the main competition - you can't do two original entries or two existing entries. So if you wanted to do an existing headgear and an original one, you could do both.
