--> "Once Upon A Time..." Contest <--Theme: As the title suggests, fairy tales are the basis for the new contest. Cliche? Perhaps. However the owner's a complete sucker for the Brothers Grimm's works, so bear with her and at least
try to act excited.
Basically your contest entry should be an image
or a fanfic with Chase Young and Jack Spicer playing the roles from a fairy tale. An example could involve Chase Young as the Beast and Jack Spicer as Beauty in the tale, "Beauty and the Beast". Please note that since many fairy tales incorporate a heterosexual relationship - tactics like crossdressing or genderbending can be present in your entries. If one lacks resources, take a look around the Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales or in the Children's Section of your local library. Or better yet, simply type in 'fairy tale' over at
Google. Once again, there's no particular mood or topic it should be based on. Furthermore, your entry doesn't necessarily need to be slash-centric (not all fairy tales involve a pairing), but we'd love it if it was. X3
Any questions or comments? Need something clarified or the deadline extended? Please send a note to the club OR (if urgent) send a note to
Evonise. We will get back to you ASAP.
Extended Deadline: December 20th, 2005
Prizes: The winning piece will be displayed as our Featured Deviation for the next three months (or till our next contest, whichever option lasts longer). Additionally,
Evonise will do one request image for the winner. If the winning entry is a fanfic, the author may choose whether he/she would like an image to accommodate the fic or ask for a different piece all together.
Voting: The entries are in, the contest is over, and the judging has been initiated! All members (including the contest's participants) are free (and encouraged) to vote on which
one entry they enjoy the most. Please send in all votes by
note to this club with 'Vote' as the subject.
Voting Deadline: December 28th, 2005
EDIT: Thank you everyone for all your beautiful entries! However after vote counts, we had a
clear tie between
FerioWind's entry</b> and
Zanderkatt's entry</b>. Thus, we will be pulling another poll
only for these two submissions. Once again,
all members are open to vote for either entry and should send their vote to the club with 'Vote' as the subject.
New Voting Deadline: January 7th, 2006
And The Winner Is: As one may already know, our first round of votes ended in a tie between Feriowind's submission and Zanderkatt's submission. Due to this, a second round was initiated. Now the votes have rolled in, the tallies added up, and the winner has been decided.
*insert drum roll*
Our congratulations go to
FerioWind! Thank you for your most exquisite entry and your participation in the contest! Your entry will be submitted to the club as CYxJS' current Featured Deviation and you shall be contacted regarding your request picture. Congrats once again! ^_^
Here's also another large round of applause for all our fellow participants. Thank you for your contributions to this club - we certainly couldn't have done this without everyone's support. As said previously, your entries will also be added to the club's gallery for the audience's enjoyment. Our gratitude goes out to everyone here.
If there are any questions remaining about the past contest or the voting involved, please send the club a note and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

--------------------
General Guidelines:--> It must be your own work. Collaborations, manipulated screenshots, and the like will not be accepted.
--> Your entry must not be of a higher rating than PG-15. devART would kick us off if it was too explicit.
--> You may only submit
one entry and it must either be a fanfic or an image. You may not submit both a fanfic and an image (Exception: See Fanfic Guidelines).
--> Please send the club a note with a link to the entry. It would also be easier for us if you kindly labeled the subject, 'Contest'.
Image Entry Guidelines:--> Using a photo as the background is fine (only if it's yours or if you have permission) as long as the background doesn't take the majority of the image.
--> We are only accepting images in JPEG or GIF format. All other formats (including PNG) will not be accepted.
Fanfic Guidelines:--> One may accompany one's fic with a visual, but only the written piece will be judged. Additionally, this visual must be your own work. All other Image Entry Guidelines for the visual
will apply.
--> Having a fanfic beta'd
will not count as a collaboration. In fact, we deeply recommend that you have your fanfic beta'd - or at least run a spellcheck. This will not only be easier on your readers, but will improve your chances for winning when voting time comes around.
