Smartcoin Avatar Design Contest, 2 Winners Get Paid 5,000+ SMC each

2 winners. All entrants get paid a little smartcoins though.

How to enter?

I ask entrants to design a 120x80 smartcoin avatar, and/or a 40x80 smartcoin avatar,
and post in this thread displaying that to me/us.
Once you have done that, you are then entered into the contest.

update: please post with your smartcoin address, so I know where to send coins to you, thank you


Contributions received to be added to pays:
3250 smc




PRIZES/PAYOUTS:
5000 smartcoins paid to best 120x80
5000 smartcoins paid to best  40x80
(these amounts might increase if more people contribute more smartcoins to the entrants/winners)

* 1000 + 3250 = 4250 smartcoins divided amongst all the entrants who did not win in the 120x80 and/or 40x80 contests, this amount might increase if more people contribute smartcoins to pay to the entrants.


5000 + 5000 + 1000 = 11,000 total smartcoins I am contributing to pay winners and entrants, this was to get the contest started, and I/we have also received an additional 3250 smc since then.
Update april 25: Total Smartcoins to be paid out to entrants = 14, 250 smc

I will let you know if the prizes or payouts increase.
The payouts will be increasing as more contributions are received.

I do want the prizes/payouts to be larger, but I am waiting for contributions from other people involved with smartcoin. The 11,000 smartcoins used to start this contest, is my contribution only, and the prizes/payouts might increase before the end of the contest I hope they do.



Who can enter? Anyone with a bitcointalk.org account/username can enter the contest.



Start date:  Now ( april 22, 2015 )

End date:  May 14, 2015  12 noon, approximately.


I will announce the winner(s) on may 15, 2015


When Do Winners/entrants get Paid?
I will announce all the winners when I have made final decisions, likely may 15-18, 2015. I will need some time to consider the late entrants.  The announcement will be in this thread.
I will pay the winner(s) of the contest, and also pay all entrants at the same time,
as long as the smartcoin wallet is synching at that time. If the wallet isn't synching I/we will
have to wait until the wallet is synching.
Not to worry, I have the money to pay everyone in the contest, and making sure everyone is paid
is a high priority of mine.


Rules:
All entries must be entered before 12 noon on may 14, 2015.


No pornography. If I judge any entry to be too offensive, I reserve the right to disqualify
any entry and delete the post.


who is the judge(s) ? I am the only judge, I am waiting for other people involved in smartcoin to contact me, or to contribute.



Additional Information Below:

120x80 is the maximum size of avatars at bitcointalk,
and I want entrants to utilize the full 120x80 space in their entries


40x80 is a smaller smartcoin avatar, which can be attached to users avatar,
thereby allowing users to retain their own personal avatar while being
paid smartcoins in the smartcoin avatar campaign, at the same time.


The winning 120x80 and 40x80 will be used in the next smartcoin avatar
campaign by the participants of that campaign.

I received an additional 3250 Smartcoins to add to the payouts of the winners and all entrants.
I am displaying additional contributions at the top of the op in this thread.


Not sure how the additional smartcoins will be divided up, just yet,
but will be thinking about it.

Thank you to people who contribute smartcoins to the smartcoin avatar design contest

[bitbets]

I got additional 3250 smartcoins to pay to people (from contributions)

I have decided the additional 3250 smartcoins will be paid to the runners-ups and other entrants, to try and give people more incentive to enter this contest.




Below, is the revised payouts, with the additional 3250 smartcoins included:

5000 smartcoins paid to best 120x80
5000 smartcoins paid to best  40x80


* 4250 smartcoins divided amongst the other entrants who do not win in the 120x80 and/or 40x80 contest.


Everyone who enters this contest, gets paid somewhat of smartcoins



*note: art is in the eye of the beholder, my art teacher told me so

[Halofire]

Was playing around today with some Gimp, here's what I came up with in a few hours of time.

This isn't an entry per say; it can be, but it's really just to show people an example of an avatar.


Meet "Smarty":

Entered. Now it's official. haha

I might be 'breaching' some of my own 'tentative rules' I was making,

but Halofire gives us an idea for a mascot

Should we have a prize/payout for 'best' mascot design?


I had some ideas after I saw Halofires entry
and thought I would show them to you.



Smarty Gets Pants



Smarty's Pants Fall Down



Smarty Pulls Pants Back Up


Smarty Pulls Pants Back Up Red Faced



Smarty Pulls Pants Back Up Red Faced Sweating Drops







If we do decide to have a prize/payout for mascot, this is Halofires design,
and if Halofires design was to win, then I think it is Halofires original entry that
we would refer to for payout.
It is that original entry from Halofire giving me/us the idea.
I have to give attribution to Halofire
What do you think, maybe we might build on this mascot idea?

I laughed.

Did anyone else laugh?

 



*note: all of these turned out 120x86 except 'Smarty's pants fall down' which turned out 120x80,
so ya need to change the size to 120x80, to use them as your avatar at bitcointalk. I don't think it effects the pics to resize them to 120x80, my mistake.

I thought when we post, the time is put into the post? bitcointalk time, whatever that is, that is what I was thinking. I think you are saying I need to be more specific about the end time of the contest? This might be one of my weak areas, I may not quite understand the different times zones and stuff, but if you have info to enlighten me, please pm me to let me know. Thank you


After some considerations, I now realize that I will need some more time after the end of the contest(may 14), to consider all the entries, so I make a little adjustment to this.

When Do Winners/entrants get Paid?
I will announce all the winners when I have made final decisions, likely may 15-18, 2015. I will need some time to consider the late entrants.  The announcement will be in this thread.
I will do my best to make sure everyone is paid by may 18th at the latest.
Hopefully you understand that I need a little time to consider all the entries, and it allows me a little time to consider the late entries more.

Making certain all entrants are paid is a high priority of mine.

Bitcointalk time is not a universal time. My noon is different than yours. You should state what time zone or go based off of GMT (greenwich mean time).

To make it easier, just select New York City's time zone. Most everyone know's NYC's time zone, being the financial center of the world and all. 12 noon, NYC time zone.
12:00PM EST.

Who is Smitters? Smartcoin only has 24.5 million total coins to be mined all time

If Mr. Burns wants a billion SMCs, then by Jove, Smithers will get him one billion SMCs.
