When Starting a Challenge
--Make sure you have all the information in your first post. This includes the type of graphic (icon, sig, wallpaper, header), how long the challenge will run, how many entries you will accept, how people should enter, and how the winner will be chosen.
--Give your thread a descriptive title. "PotC Sig Challenge" is acceptable, "OMG PIRATES!!!1!" is not. Also, please put either "Duel" or "Contest" in your title so members know what kind of challenge they're entering.
--These challenges are open to all fandoms, however if the fandom contains lots of material that would be considered above PG-13, you would probably be better off finding a different one.
--If your challenge is going to have specific rules, such as "only greyscale entries" or "the sig can be no bigger than 300x150 pixels", make sure they are clearly explained so there's no confusion.
When Entering a Challenge
--Make sure you follow all of the rules of the challenge. If you don't understand something, ask for a clarification.
--No whining or complaining if you don't win. If you think there was cheating, PM me or another staff member and we'll take care of it.
Difference Between Duel and Contest
--A contest is where a large amount of people can enter the competition and simple votes are cast for the overall favorite entries.
--A duel is where a few people enter the competition and votes for the entry must be explained with valid reasons, usually based on aesthetic or technical value and not on personal reasons like "it uses my favorite character." There may be a vote maximum as well.

On an unrelated note, please PM me or another staff member when your challenge is complete so we can keep this board clean.
