Competition of the Month - September Superiority Edition!

[BetaB17]

Welcome one and all to the Competition of the Month!

These monthly competitions are a chance for you to demonstrate your creativity and talents while getting a chance to know your fellow members and have a little fun. Each month is going to have a different theme and a different talent – and maybe a surprise or two! But only one member can wear the purple coins and fancy title of CotM Winner! Do you have what it takes?

The basic rules are as follows:

Spoiler:

» Members can contribute pieces based on the talent (writing, art, screenshots, etc.) and theme during the submission period, after which no further entries will be accepted. Then we will vote via a poll to see who gets to wear that month’s winner’s badge!

» If you are posting artwork, please post a link from an off-forum website such as Photobucket; if you are posting a written piece, please hide it under a spoiler when creating a new post. This is to ensure that posts are not too long and the thread appears orderly for everyone. If you are unsure how to do either of these, don’t be afraid to ask!

» Be respectful and polite about your fellow members’ work. Anyone who says anything rude about another’s work will be hearing from a member of the Mod Squad and may not be allowed to participate in the next competition. There is no such thing as “good” or “bad,” and everyone has a unique way of demonstrating his or her talents. Enjoy the variety!

» All members are welcome to join, including moderators. Don’t forget that we’re members, too!

»UESPOINTS!
UESPoints (UP) are a chance for all you lovely UESP users to earn reward points for your achievements and for participating around the forums. The CotM is now awarding UESPoints as a prize, in addition to the usual 1st place prize of the purple coins.
Here's how it will work: When the voting period is over, UESPoints will be awarded based on what position you came in.

1st Place - 3 UESPoints + Purple Coins
2nd Place- 2 UESPoints
3rd Place - 1 UESPoint

2nd and 3rd place have to have at least two votes to qualify for UESPoints.

This month's challenge is to showcase the beauty that is the Summerset Isles and the glory to the Dominion! How? Through a meme of course!

It's September, where leaves turn to gold and the fields are full for the harvest, what better place to see the peak of beauty than at Summerset! Where elves reign supreme and memes run free! Yep, that's right! It's another TES meme CoTM So get those creative juices flowing, those elven superiority a going, and meme dankness coming

-Must be TES themed, because we said
-Bonus if you keep on theme with Summerset(& not Skyrim!)

So, in summary - whether your meme is in an adaptation of a pre-existing one or is completely original, if it is by image or text, if you made it you can post it!


Our schedule for the September event is as follows:
September 3-24: Competition begins! Start planning and send in those submissions!
September 25-30: Voting period – vote for your favorites!
September 30: Our winner is announced!
Please note that all times are determined by me, Dohva(not Beta), and therefore will run according to Green Mean Time (Click here if you’re unsure when, exactly, that is!)

Remember that the CotM is not possible without you, so please participate, contribute, discuss, and vote!

I like this idea for a competition, looking forward to see the other entries.

[The SheoDovah]

Do we get bonus points award to use regardless of who wins if it's SummerSet themed?

And because the Khajiit are in the Aldmeri Dominion, are they techincally allowed? Or is this a no kitties allowed COTM?

[BetaB17]

1)No and 2) preferably >_> not as the core focus.

Hence the Summerset challenge, not the Fifty Shades of M'iaq challenge. Tho props to originality will still be given where due

[legoless]

Not a meme, but here's a screenshot of ESO's first ever holiday event, which was technically a Dominion exclusive and shows off the beauty of Auridon well.

[The SheoDovah]

Bit crap as i'm not really familiar with GIMP and had hoped to do it as a seemless meme. I also had bigger plans but GIMP was like NO way and I was like YES way. Then It slapped me with a fish.

Hidden:

Images were nicked from Google Images. Nocturnal commanded me to do so.

God, this is probably the worst entry i've ever done.

[MARS]

Khajiit? Dominion support?

[ProphetDragon]

Not technically nature.

This is the best I could do.. M Night Shyamala would be proud<3

"Haha! You were expecting a friendly encounter, but it is us! The Thalmor!
(Seriously.. I can see it now.. With some elf ears, maybe a color shift to black for the clothes.. Dio would make the perfect Thalmor agent, and a bane to all our lives)

We're getting some nice submissions, keep them coming! Only a few days left till the polls hit

[The SheoDovah]

In a twist, Beta is in fact revealed to be....


Beta.

Lots of good submissions! May be another close month in the polls.

[BetaB17]

Tomorrow is the last official day to submit your chance for those envied purple coins! Don't wait, act now!

[Aarah]

Poll is up for voting y'all.

[Kerr]

Yeah, two winners, both of us get purple coins. At least I think that's how it works.

[The SheoDovah]

Who voted for me!? It was a crap entry that I rushed out after realising my "What they think I do, What I think I do, what society thinks I do etc.." idea was not viable due to my knowledge of GIMP being at novice level. I would have just used Ananaco as the what I actually do bit.


Congrats to Kerr and Prophet Dragon!

Ye get both purple coins and 3 points each! It's usually how these things go.

[MARS]

Can't believe I got no votes for posting the most deceased meme, in an effortless contribution. This is proof that the most popular name isn't an automatic win.

(congratulations to the winners, I'm proud.)

[BetaB17]

When people show no love for the D and can't get no votes tho

:

(No regrets. Kerr got dem grape soda coins. Vote well spent)

[Aarah]

Congrats, Kerr and Prophet! Another shared win this month, cool.
(Love the victory pic, Kerr. )
