Contest #1 - The Judging Process!

Alllright, Archaic Twilight Followers! As of yesterday, Saturday, June 7th, The AT Character Design Contest has officially closed, and as I had mentioned before, the Judging Process would take the course of the following week. Well, here we are, Day 1 of the Judging Process. So then, how do we Judge these results? We don't! The Members become certified Judges in the decision for who they believe are the winners of the Character Design Contest!

Simply put, anyone and everyone can Judge, including the participants in the Contest, however obviously they cannot vote for themselves.

Now, the Contest Judging Process is simple; by asking me, (Krimm) through MSN or Email, I will send a file transfer of the AT Judging Package, which contains all nine (9) of the Entries for the contest. After reading the rules provided below, you will then select your top favorites in the blank document provided, and then send the modified file back to me.

Now, the Rules are as follow:

1) This is Private Voting. You simply return your modified document to me, and no one else will know who you voted for. It's your choice whether or not you tell who you voted for.
2) Select your top 3 based on DESIGN details in their costume and the chatacter's originality, DO NOT vote depending on whether it's colored, pretty, or 'I just like this one'. Please give a reason.
3) If you are a contest participant, you MAY NOT vote for your own. I will be able to see who voted for their entry, and that person will be disqualified from the contest, including their entry. So simply put, don't do it.

Next, is how the Judging Process functions:

1) You must first ask me, Krimm, for the Contest Package, in return I will send a folder holding all of the entries and a blank Note Pad Document where you will record your vote.
2) After reading the rules thoroughly, and looking for the various entries for a few moments deciding which design is the most unique and original, you will place down your TOP 3 choices in the Note Pad Document, providing a small sentence about your REASONING as to why you chose it.
3) After Steps 1 and 2 are complete, you will make sure you have saved the Note Pad Document with your choices, and return the folder back to me via E-Mail or PM.

Now let the Contest voting begin! You may ask your friends to vote, but please don't pressure them into choosing your entry.
