Can we have a drawing comp? ;D Not an art comp, just sketching with a pencil (i can't paint for my life) we could either take a picture and draw it and enter the drawing with the pic and choose the best or just sketch a snail and enter the drawing, maybe there could be aseperate one for painting but i don't think they should go together because painting is a lot harder than sketching, i don't know how they would be judged actually, can anyone add to my idea?

OMG!!! Great idea!!!!!
Yes, we have to have one of them lol! I love art, painting, sketching, anything! Ok...ok...got to calm down now.... Ok...thinking about this...
Firstly, I don't think many people would enter....So in turn it would not be much of a competition. I may be wrong.
Secondly, who would organise this? I'm currently doing the photo comp. but if no one wants to do it then I will!
Thirdly, ...erm...there is nothing lol. All I can say is we have to have a art comp. for all types of art!!!!

I wouldn't mind doing it, can't be that hard, you could help me organise some dates etc, then all that happens is you make a thread stating everything about the comp (dates etc) and people submit their entries there and then when the deadline for entering is you get everyone to pm you with their vote and when that deadline finishes you add them all up and get a winner right?? :-)

Yes...that's how the photo comp. works. Ok....we are going to have to think about this. Before we rush into making rules, dates, threads etc. should we see who would possibly enter this comp? Because if it is just you and me lol, (the people organising this) then it's not really a comp. is it? Maybe we could get other people's ideas on the matter? Otherwise, if the "all clear" for this to go ahead is announced then ...yes I'll be glad to help you.

Another idea! Why not have an art comp....Then have a gallery of all the entries? Similar to the "Hall of Fame" for the photo comp.

Post by sezzy5889 on Mar 9, 2006 19:49:53 GMT
we'd have to consult Paul about this first, after all he has to do all the work making the Hall of fame and -if it's to be- a gallery.

I believe he is very busy at the moment, so it may take some time. Just out of interest Sarah, have you got any of your art work to show? Anthing you can scan in? I think you may have seen my "ok" painting of a fulica. If I was to enter the comp. I would have to paint a little better...In my own opinion. My latest painting... img303.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fulicapainting1md.png

I'm not sure what's going to happen about this. Paul, could we like your "say so" please. I feel that is only right to ask you first. I'm still uncertain about the success rate of this comp. Ideally, there would need to be about 5+ entries to get a good competition going. Sarah, if it is ok with Paul, should we just set one up sometime soon and see how it goes, just like a trial comp. just to see if it works first time. If it is successful then we can hold one about 4 times a year or something like that? Thanks, Sonic P.S. I believe that it would be better as an art comp. that way it is open to a variety of people. For not everyone can sketch but they may be able to paint...

Paul, could we like your "say so" please. I feel that is only right to ask you first. Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, there's no need to get my say so, I'll go with any idea if people are into it and it certainly seems that way. ;D

Ok then, we will see what we can do. We have enough people so, all that needs to be sorted out is rules and dates. Sarah, as you are also organising this comp. with me then what would you like to do? Would you like to write the rules or dates? I personally don't mind what I do, I'll even do both but I don't want to take over and ignore that you founded this comp. Get me? So it's up to you as well.

well, how long did you give for the photo comp, like how long did people have to enter then vote? it was a good amount of time. How should they vote do you think, either copy from a photo and enter their pic withthe photo and the pic be voted of accuracy, or people just draw a snail.....I haven't done this kind of theing before, give me some guidence, lol

Ok...let me think..... Here's the rules for the photo comp. petsnails.proboards3.com/index.cgi?board=information&action=display&n=1&thread=1135695340All I would have to do is to change the words "photo comp." to "art comp" and there is the rules lol. Almost everything in the photo. comp. rules applies to the art comp. Such as...only enter your own piece of art. I believe that people should just enter a pic, because it is the art work that counts....not the pics they copied it from. So in turn, they should not be judged upon likeliness. However, to make sure no one has cheated lol, (like get art work of the internet) we could say that they should enter they photo the copied it from...get me? But the entry should not be judged upon whether or not it looks like the photo. Oh yeah and also, this is a "Snail Art Competition" so drawings should be of snails and not anything else? Is that what you were thinking Sarah?

Post by sonicsnail on Mar 11, 2006 15:39:17 GMT
Ok then...so that's sorted lol. I guess I'd do the rules as I already have a template from the photo comp. Would you like to do the dates? About four a year? We could use the same times limits to enter and vote as the photo comp. (2 weeks to enter and 2 weeks to vote)?
