Art Contest 6
The 2D Art Contest is here!! Are you passionate about the paintbrush? Are you a master of the markers? Or just an expert with the erasers? Well, you’re in luck because it’s time to get artsy - and this contest's theme is “Sports”! We want to see all the beautiful and wonderful things you can create using this as your base concept.
Categories and an all-new custom shirt art challenge!
We are introducing a theme with three new categories you can submit art to:
Training:
Practice makes perfect and that's what it takes to win. We want to see how you train for the big game. (Shooting a row of 3 pointers, working the reaction time in gaming, bullseye with target practice)
On the Court:
It's game time and your skills all come to this moment. Show us the head to head friendly competition with going in loud and proud in front of that cheering crowd! (Cheering crowd over a soccer field, the winning shot, action filled play, big hit from a box or joust)
Award:
Done with the games and how did it go? Is it better luck next season or did you bring home the championship trophy? (Team pic with the championship trophy, celebratory pizza party, good sportsmanship loss)
Custom Shirt:
Time to apply the art on the artist! Create a custom shirt using the “Sports” theming. (Uniform from a game, funny joke about soccer, an action shot of your favorite player)
How do I submit my artwork?
The contest will begin on Wednesday, June 15th, 2022, and ends on Tuesday, July 5th, 2022. Each player can enter one piece of art in each of four categories: Training, On the Court, Award, and Custom Shirt. Artworks must fit the theme of “Sports” in some way. Art must be done by marker or paintbrush on a drawable surface, such as a canvas, whiteboard, sticky poster, sticky note, gaming table or clipboard. There will be 20 winners for the three name subcategories or a total of 60 winners. 10 winners will be awarded for the Custom Shirt Category.
The 3 name subcategories:
Take 3 progress pics of your artwork and save to Rec.net. (These can be private, but please make them public after the submission deadline.)
Save the artwork as an invention, give it a easily searchable name, and submit all information on it through the Submission form
The Custom Shirt Category:
Take 3 progress pics of both the front and back of the shirt. Save to Rec.net afterwards. (These can be private, but please make them public after the submission deadline.)
Save an invention of your character wearing the shirt through a holotar. (Stand still, have both hands always at the side, and keep the mic off when recording.) If these requirements are not met the submission may not be accepted.
Once you have the invention and pics, fill out the information here: Submission form
You can submit your art name and progress photos by going here by July 5th, 2022. For any questions contact Noctauto (discord: Noctauto#7241) on how to submit your art. All art will be placed in galleries for the players of Rec Room to enjoy within the next couple days after submissions are up!
For more information on how to easily share your canvas or whiteboard progress art to Rec.net we have a tutorial here: https://youtu.be/-ArrwAMX3Vs
We have a tutorial on how to use the new Custom Shirt tool here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxftEN_jtKE
Custom Shirt Warning:
Please be aware that the custom shirts are still a new feature. Everything should run smoothly, but if there are bugs that cause the feature to get pulled we will announce this on the #contest channel in our discord here: https://discord.gg/recroom
If it does not return before the contest is finished the category will be closed from judging.
Rules:
One entry per category per person. All entries can have only one creator and will be given one prize.
When submitting, players are required to take three Rec.net progress photos of each of their artwork. These photos are required to show a clear transition from an early version all the way to a near-end version of the piece. If you send in a full timelapse of the art progress, that will also help.
Submissions must not have been submitted in any previous official Rec Room contests.
Acceptable media includes canvases, whiteboards, sticky posters, sticky notes, gaming tables, and clipboards.
All media must not be scaled larger than their normal size at the time of being submitted, with the exception of the sticky notes and clipboards, which may be scaled as large as the largest dimension of the sticky poster. Submissions can have any orientation (landscape or portrait). Submissions can be scaled up or down as necessary during the creation process before they have been submitted. Keep holotars at the same size during submission.
No maker pen embellishments (gizmos, shapes, etc.) are allowed to remain on the submissions. We will only allow CV1 Gizmos, shapes, and circuits to be used to help create the art prior to submission, but must be removed prior to submitting. CV2 will be placed on hold for this contest and reviewed if suspected of using it. If suspected we may contact the user and look into the invention to see what was used to make it. If you are using circuits and gizmos for your art you will be required to save your invention at least once for us to review it
Third-party software (such as bot-created art) is NOT ALLOWED for the art contest. We may request to confirm progress via room or invention saves. Save frequently to ensure you are not disqualified.
The invention must be last saved before the submission time. If you have any questions please contact @Noctauto before Tuesday, July 5th at 11:59 PM PDT. Submission cannot be guaranteed after this point.
Disputes: If the origin of any art piece is disputed, players will need to prove ownership. We recommend that you work on your piece in a room that you have created.
Players must have a confirmed email on their Rec Room account so that we can contact them if they win.
All submissions must abide by the Rec Room Code of Conduct.
This contest is not open to players using a Junior Account due to current restrictions around juniors and the creation tools.
Prize:
We’ll have twenty unique category winners, chosen by Rec Room staff, in three categories. Each winner will get a new white and goldish-orange contest shirt and 2,500 tokens!
First-time winners will be issued their prizes.
If a duplicate winner occurs across multiple categories, they will receive stacked token prizes per win. Players can only win once in all three categories.
Duplicate winners will not be able to get more than one shirt to give away.
