> Voting for entries will open 1 week before the deadline (24 - 31 October @ 23:59 CEST) <

I had experience about art contest when the winner is determined by public voting regardless it's a combination of judges + public voting, public voting alone etc. I can say it's not a good decision because the winner in this contest would be the most popular member, not the best art. I understand you might think public voting would be fair because it's transparent, but the reality isn't.

> KYC might be conducted to ensure winners accounts' are in good standing <

Having this rule will discourage few or even many artists to enter this contest.

I know the phrases "your money your rule", but this is just my comment.

I'm not against AI generated art but it looks like you haven't mentioned AI generated art in the rules you provided.

In my opinion AI generated art should not be allowed in this kind of contest as it may create an unfair advantage for those who have put effort into creating real art.

[Maus0728]

Wouldn't public voting become vulnerable to vote buying or any other sort of manipulation made by the artist? Say for example soliciting votes from their bitcointalk friends?

Fair point. Do you suggest we stick to judges-only?

Let me consult with the team on this. Thanks for the feedback.

You're right, should have added that as well. Thanks!

Wouldn't public voting become vulnerable to vote buying or any other sort of manipulation made by the artist? Say for example soliciting votes from their bitcointalk friends?

Definitely a possibility. Apocollapse brought this up so I'll likely be limiting the votes to the judges, just like with the previous contest last time.

[Apocollapse]

Fair point. Do you suggest we stick to judges-only?

Yep, it's up to you which judges you choose.

You could pick few members in this forum, but I hope you're not allow them to participate too

[SamReomo]

Great to see such an amazing contest. If I'm not wrong then in this contest we will have two options only one is for those member who are good at crafting while other one is for the users who are good at digital art. I would like to know that the ones who create art with pencil and pen are also allowed to participate in this contest or it's just limited to craft and digital art?

[UserU]

To save ourselves the complication, we'd just stick to the 500 Casino judges.

So basically the staffs, mods and Suspect as well

Oh, I meant that anyone is allow to submit either digital or physical artworks, or a combination of both. So those from pen and pencils are welcomed as well!

Great to hear that and now I'll also participate in this amazing contest. Thanks for confirmation and I recommend you to update the OP so that all type of physical artists will also participate in the contest.

Hi @UserU,
Can you expound what this site staff means? Are these people you are referring to? Or maybe moderators from the casino's global chat?

Also, I think it would be great to add another rule about posting their work in progress (WIP) on a separate album if their entry is in a digital format just to avoid any issues about A.I generated artworks. Thanks for the contest.

[joeperry]

Hi @UserU, if I use your current logo (halloween logo) from your website to made an entry (maybe do it in clay sculpture and make it 3d or whatever art I will choose) would that be under plagiarism or I can use it?

[UserU]

Hey Maus,

The site staffs refers to the ones working for 500. Such as the moderators, support, developers and marketing.

I think it would be great to add another rule about posting their work in progress (WIP) on a separate album if their entry is in a digital format just to avoid any issues about A.I generated artworks. Thanks for the contest.

For that, I have already added the "Submissions must be accompanied by each participant's 500 ID and Bitcointalk username (e.g. a piece of paper)" rule so it would be much harder to use those tools. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hi @UserU, if I use your current logo (halloween logo) from your website to made an entry (maybe do it in clay sculpture and make it 3d or whatever art I will choose) would that be under plagiarism or I can use it?

Hey joeperry,

Not a problem at all. Plagiarism means taking someone else's artwork and claiming it to be theirs, like what happened during the pie baking contest.

[UserU]

Bump!

nice contest, art Should  be in a paper? or a design made through graphics tools like Photoshop or Illustrator or a pumpkin cut design, like last year's pumpkin contest? You should make these things clear.  Because there's a big price tag here, I think we're going to see a lot of competition here. and that's why everyone should know the right thing. Thanks for bringing a nice contest here

Hey _MBFM,

Any sort of artwork is counted, even on a piece of paper:

It could be of any artwork, including sculptures or even pies. Use the tools available to your imagination

Hey Asta,

Not at all, everyone is welcome to participate.

[BABY SHOES]

Okay. .... I am the first participant to submit an entry....

Observing this thread the week before while looking for pumpkins is sometimes difficult to find a perfect, round pumpkin.

This is carving a pumpkin using a small knife, maybe not skillful and neat but this is what I can do, to enter this contest.

Hope to win. Lol

Wow, that's some nice carvings on that pumpkin!

[Out of mind]

Last year's pumpkin contest I saw today was really interesting. I found out there that @ChiBitCTy made this contest a great success. So I want to know whether the pumpkin competition will start this year as well as next year???
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5416347.0
He asked all the users too wait for this competition to be introduced this year.

Thanks again everyone for a hugely successful pumpkin carving contest/event. It had it’s ups and downs but overall I agree it was a big success so I look forward to running it again next year (or perhaps a version of it). Anyways, agreed, time to lock this thread. But just wanted to give everyone a final thank you. See ya guys next year !

Well, I will like to say that the clock is kicking, so you don't have to wait till the deadline before submitting what you have designed for the context.

Yes, there is still 1 week left because this contest ends on October 31st.

As per OP.

Hey lucifur,

The deadline is on the 31st October so you still have time. Voting can still happen

taufik123 -
Definitely, you still have time because UserU mentioned the deadline is the 31st of October. However after reading the original post I thought that the voting will start on the 24th of October and I consider that deadline. That's why I submitted my entry as early as the date mentioned.

Anyway, good luck on your entry and I hope to see it soon, just like on Roobet. But this time there's no need to choose a category. You can call it anything you want and it's okay. GL GL

[taufik123]

now it's October 24th, still waiting for an answer from the OP whether there is another deadline to join or October 24-31 is only for voting only, and new entries are closed.

Hello taufik123. I asked previously here and OP replied that we can submit an entry until Oct. 31. I'm also working on my entry for this one. Looking forward to your entry mate. Goodluck!

I also don't understand whether applications are being accepted or the voting stage has already begun, and with it the deadline has come.

[UserU]

Hi guys, sorry for the late response. Let me go through them questions!

just found out about this contest, is there still time?

I have replied to your PM but just to make it clear to the rest, there's still time. I might consider extending it by another week to encourage more participation. So rest assured all of your entries will have a chance to shine:)

I'm also working on my entry for this one. Looking forward to your entry mate. Goodluck!

Welcome, looking forward to seeing those arts!

So, I'm really not the Halloween type because we don't get to celebrate it here in my country. I would to love experience how one would actually be like in real life. But nevertheless, here's my entry for the contest. I really don't know when this contest would be closed by @ UserU so I just decided to drop mine much earlier to avoid stories.

All works are wonderfully crafted.

And for the other winners, you are the best.

[Woodie]

@lucifur congratulations mate that was a master piece and well deserved position, hats off to you  


@Apocollapse you understood the assignment and delivered, love the art.

@summonerrk the witch art was good, and had you added your signature color's you could have easily scoped this one ,but nice to see you on the podium once again.

To everyone else that didn't win, better luck next time chao.

[lucifur]

Oh wow. Thank you so much for appreciating my work guys. I've had so much fun visualising how I want my entry to look like and I'm really proud at how I executed it given that I only had so much small time left. I'm thankful that you guys allowed me to still send and entry even if I took to long.  I honestly didn't expect to get first place. Thank you so much 500 casino team and UserU.

Congratulations to all the other winners as well!

@woodie. Thank you so much brother. I really appreicate it. I've been down for weeks now and seeing as you guys appreciate my work, it helps lighten my mood and boost my confidence again.

EDIT:

 confirming also that I have received the prize in my game account. Thank you!

[sompitonov]

Congratulations to the winners on their prizes!

Who knows, maybe they will win even more by playing at the 500 CASINO, so I wish them good luck there too. The drawings and handmade look really very good, it’s immediately clear that the winners put a lot of effort, so the victories are deserved.

It’s very good that 500 Casino doing such competitions. Although I didn’t win, it was interesting to participate, maybe next time I’ll have better luck.

[goaldigger]

I didn't expect to win here since there's a lot of good entries.
Anyway, thank you so much Useru and Team 500 Casino for appreciating our work look forward for a more art contest. 

[summonerrk]

Thanks to @UserU and the 500 Casino Team for this opportunity to dream up and create art that was appreciated. The art works of other participants are impressive, the handmade is very interesting and detailed. Congratulations to all the winners, and I wish everyone who did not get into the top places not to get upset, you will be lucky next time!
