Rules
General Rules
1. All Smogon Forum Rules Apply.
2. If your entry is turned down, do not complain and revise your entry.
3. Stealing artwork is prohibited. If you are found to be stealing, you will be disqualified and banned from the current WSC contest, banned for five WSCs after two instances, and permanently banned after three instances.
4. Have a question, or want to suggest a rule or theme? Feel free to PM Alchemator or Dogfish44 about it.
5. You are not allowed to reserve spots. This is considered spam. If you spam once, you will be excluded from the current contest. Do it twice, banned for the next 3 contests. Spam thrice and you'll a ban for life.
6. This isn't a comment thread. Quoting a sprite just to say that it looks good and contributing nothing to the topic, this is counted as spam. Constructive Criticism is acceptable, however.
Pariticipation Rules
1. All entries must fit the theme. The Theme will be specified at the top of the first post.
2. All entries should fit the size restraints. A BW styled sprite is 96x96, a DPPHGSS styled sprite is 80x80, a GSCRSEFRLG styled sprite is 64x64, and a RBYG styled sprite is 54x54. Unless stated, a contest will be in a BW format. This does not restrict your choice of sprite to ones from Pokémon Black and White, and any can be used if you feel you wish to. Animated Sprites will not be required unless stated.
3. Your sprite must be transparent and in a 96x96 canvas. If you want to make a sprite transparent, use the programs Paint.NET, Graphics Gale, GIMP, www.iaza.com, or Adobe Photoshop. MS Paint cannot make something transparent.
4. All entries should be saved as a .png for not animated weeks, and a .gif for animated weeks. .bmp and .jpg/.jpeg distort the qualit of the image, and program exclusive files cannot be uploaded to Photobucket, Imageshack, or Tinypic.
5. As a note about editing your entries: Editing is allowed, but only in small doses, such as small touch-ups to the outline, changing the colors, or shading fixes are acceptable. Completely changing your entry is not allowed.
Judging
Each of the judges should pick 7 entries from the current WSC. Then the sprites should be assigned points, with the best getting 7 points, the second best getting 6 points and so on. The top 5 sprites with the most points will be put through to the poll. The judges must also nominate a "Most Humorous" and "Most Original Honorable" Mention.
