No, probably not, due to the number of entries.

I know this sounds stupid.... But how do you send it in?


And if we are putting our names on it do we put our real names or user names?


Also Are we allowed to trace something from the computer and color it and send it in?


When you color it do you have to color by hand or can you use the computer? if so can you use the computer for backrounds?

Some one please answer soon!!!

Okay, I am not "official Zac guy", but since you wanted a relatively quick response, here are my guesses:

- You send in the file (save it from whatever art program you're using, scan it in, take a digital pic, etc..) to [email protected]

- Although I recommend putting your real name or pen-name (user name, pseudonym, nickname, etc.. lol) on the actual art somewhere, I think all you have to do is say who you are in your email so if you win and they list your picture, they can give you credit somehow. Just a "My name is ________, and this is my entry *send attachment*." should be good enough. I'm sure they'll contact you again if you won and they need mroe info.

- I don't recommend tracing something (I mean.. that's kinda cheating, ain't it? :D), but it's not against the rules. All you have to do is make sure that you drew the artwork yourself. You can use the text and Naruto logo from other sources though. Read the contest page again for more info. It says:
"Remember: programs like Photoshop can only be used for poster text, coloring, and touch-up; photoshopping together already-existing artwork or photographs or elements from other movie posters is forbidden. Basically, you need to draw everything except the text on the poster yourself."

- Again, you can colour it any way you want (hand, paint, computer.. etc), as long as it's you who did it. You can use the computer for backgrounds as long as the background is made by you or is a photo taken by you (i.e. no stealing stuff from others and copy-pasting it for your background).

Again, this is my best guess to the answers to your questions.
Good luck!

I'm going to assume that it's one entry per person, right?

Does a photoshopped entry have any edge over a hand-drawn one? I'm much more skilled with pastel and paint then digital mediums.

No, they're all considered equal.

Also, ANY entry has a good chance of winning at this point. I'm not sure if people don't understand the contest or don't have time or don't know how to make a simple movie poster or don't have faith in their skills or what, but we're not getting a whole lot of entries for this contest. So ENTER THE CONTEST, people! What do you have to lose?

And four spots to win is a pretty good chance...while winning it all would be nice, I'd just be happy with knowing I got 4th (well, 'third' place) and just that.

I should really enter. I'm going to try to work hard tonight. Good luck to everyone else.

Well, Zac, it just so happens to be Yom Kippur, meaning that I have today off from school. Thus, I have free time, so I guess you'll probably be seeing a submission from me coming in. Hopefully I'll still have enough time to study for my APs after I make one today. Laughing

Oh, well, I'm at no advantage. I make up for that time with the amount of time I spend on Cross Country, Lacrosse, and AP Bio, along with my other shitty Freshmen courses. I wish I was in 8th Grade again! I had so much time on my hands that I could actually come home and start studying my Japanese. Now I barely have time to watch an episode of anime a night! Ha, I'm not going to do any of my homework tonight. I'll just draw. See this, Zac! I'm doing this for YOU!!!!! Laughing

If your friends color it fine, but you need to credit them when you submit it. And yes, you can do that on the computer.
