Named for the great elvish artist in the book, the Agulen Awards are to promote and celebrate fanart in the Ella Enchanted fandom.
In these awards, artist will create a piece of fanart centered around one of the three given prompts. There will be 7 categories, as follows: Best Traditional Art, Best Digital Art, Best Photo Manip/Gifset, Best from Prompt 1, Best from Prompt 2, Best from Prompt 3, and Best Overall Fanart.
Winners for the six categories of Best Traditional art, Best Digital Art, Best Photo Manip/Gifset, Best from Prompt 1, Best from Prompt 2, and Best from Prompt 3 will be determined by vote via google docs. The winner of Best Overall Fanart will be determined by the number of notes it has from the post submitted to this blog, with a cap of 3 reblogs per url (no fake/filler urls allowed).
1. Secondary characters (not Ella or Char).
2. Ella AU (modern AU, Victorian AU, Hogwarts AU, genderswap AU, etc)
3. “Lucinda’s curse made a rebel of me.”
Here’s the nitty-gritty rules:
1. Art pieces must be based on the book Ella Enchanted (duh). Anything based on the movie, OCs not based in the book (ie Chella children are ok, a boyfriend of Mandy’s is not), or anything outside of the book will not qualify.
2. Art pieces must center around one of the three given prompts.
3. Art pieces can be drawings, paintings, digital art, or photo manips/gifs.
4. Art pieces must be original for the awards. No previous work allowed.
5. Artists may submit one art piece per prompt, for a total of 3 possible pieces.
5. The art will be DUE on November 13.
6. To have a piece of art considered in the awards, please a.) Submit them to this blog, ellaenchantedfans, b.) Say which categories you are submitting them for in the submission (see categories above). c.) DO NOT post them on your blog, DeviantArt, or anywhere else until November 14. Once I have them posted on this blog, you may put them wherever you so choose and promote as you choose, so long as it’s all fair.
7. Voting will commence as soon as all the artwork is posted on this blog, most likely by November 14. Voting will end November 21.
8. Voting for the categories of Best Traditional Art, Best Digital Art, and Best Photo Manip/Gifset, Best from Prompt 1, Best from Prompt 2, and Best from Prompt 3 will be done via google doc.
9. The winner of Best Overall Fanart will be determined by the number of notes the piece accumulated from the submitted post via this blog, with a cap of 3 reblogs per url (no fake/filler urls allowed).
10. A certain piece may not win more than 1 category (if this happens, the artist may choose which one they would like the piece to win), but an artist may win in more than one category.
11. I’m sure I don’t need to say this, but just for safety: BE POLITE AND COURTEOUS. This is all for fun and to share our love of Ella Enchanted. Anyone who bullies or is rude to anyone–artists or fans–will be blocked from voting and/or have their art taken down from the awards. I have ultimate say in what might result in a banning.
