(When) will the hooso start again?
Hopefully in June!
Bad News :(
Hey everyone! Moony here! Unfortunately I have some bad news... Due to a large amount if dropouts on all teams, as well as a lack of support and resources in the administration department, HoOSO will be temporarily shut down. The competition will start back up around June and run throughout the summer. At that time, there will be another registration period as well. I really appreciate everyone who participated I. This first try! I realize that this time of year is incredibly busy for most people (myself included) and I know it's hard to dedicate yourself to this. Again, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and excellent contributions. In the mean time, for those of you still interested in some fun competition: throughout the year there will be mini challenges, open to anyone! Keep a lookout! . If your team had an entry from round two, go head and post it! We'll save it to the archive as we'll :)
sorry for the very late question but is it alright to do a parody for the main entry? not an original joke but I'd draw everything myself ofc
Yep! That's ok, so long as the theme for the round is still apparent!
Hi. Is HoO going to post the second bonus round material? I'd like to put what I made on my blog, please ;w;
Go ahead and post bonus round stuff on your personals!
MAIN ROUND 2: GIFTS
"Gifts of the heart cannot be claimed by anyone but the giver."
Sticking with uncreative and cliche themes based around the holiday of the season, the theme for main round 2 will be Gifts.
Remember, the theme has to be apparent in your submission. As always, be creative! There are many ways to interpret this theme, try to make your teams entry stand out.
In addition, if you would like to, you can make a piece that is a "gift" for another team. This can be your main entry, OR you can submit a secondary entry. Secondary entries will earn bonus points for your team. RULES
Writing: 1,000 (min) to 4,000 (max) words. Multi-chaptered works are fine, as long as they are not works-in-progress or incomplete.
Art: (Max) Ten Images
Combination Art/Writing Entries up to 1,000 words and 20 images, OR up to 4,000 words and 5 images.
Each comic panel counts as a single image.
Any visible text in your entry counts toward the word limit.
If your entry text is in any way difficult to read, embedded in an image or game, spread across multiple pages, not screen-reader accessible, etc., you must include a link to a script with your entry.
You can combine media types: for example you can have 4,000 words and 5 images, two of which are cosplay photos, one which is a photo of a sculpture, one a static illustration, and one a gif. However, each individual piece of media must conform to its specific limitations.
Gifs/animations: 5 second (min) to 70 seconds (max)
Video/Audio: 4 minutes max runtime (this applies for both animated and live-action video, as well as music and voice acting).
Cosplay: Costumes should be made/assembled at least 50% new for the challenge.
All content should be created new, by a member of your team, for this competition. All content used must be original (including photograph), official release material (such as the official art, promotional images, still from the movies, etc.), or stock imagery with a source (this includes popular music, public art).
Each team may have ONE MAIN and ONE SECONDARY submission.
Secondary submissions will not be open to a vote, and should be for another participating team.
Remember to use the following format as the body of your email:
TITLE: Original Title of your work TEAM: Your team name
RATING: A rating for your work
MAJOR TAGS: Please include a list of tagged content/triggers for your work. SUMMARY: 2-4 sentence summary of the work. WORK COUNT: Word count, image count, etc. CREDIT LIST: Include which team members did what, where you got any source material (stock images, music, etc.), and any other credit you may need to give.
THE DEADLINE FOR ROUND 1 WILL BE JANUARY 2ND, 2015 AT 11:55 CST
As always: if you’re confused, please feel free to ask any questions!
Hey everyone! Round 2 will be announced sometime this week! Your speed round entries have all been added and if you want to post them publicly you can!
ROUND 2 UPDATE
Hey everyone! Thanks to those of you who submitted bonus round materials! At this time, we'd like to announce that main round two had been postponed until the first week of December! We realize how busy this time of year is for everyone (including us on team Olympus) and really appreciate all the effort you've all put into this! To those of you who have dropped: I'm sorry this year didn't work out for you. If things clear up, you are welcome to rejoin the competition at any point in any capacity! Thanks for all your work and dedication! For those in the US- have a good Thanksgiving!
If we have two fics, one 100 words long and the other 900 words is our word count "100, 900" or "1000"?
1000
BONUS ROUND TWO: SPEED ROUND!
Wow! This competition is RACING BY, huh? It's already time for our second bonus round!
This challenge is the first individual round! That means that everyone will be participating as an individual, not as teams! As such, members of That Dam Team can also participate. You will still be representing your team and, as such, should submit content based around the characters in your ship (members of TDT, however, have free reign on which team they want to contribute to.)
The challenge for this round is SPEED. What does that mean? It means that we're challenging you to make as much content as fast as possible. Every participant will have on opportunity to make and submit multiple entries.
Any content is allowed (writing, art, graphics, etc.)
All content must be created new for this round by you.
Due to the nature of this challenge, there aren't any minimums; we do, however, still expect some standard of quality.
The aim of this challenge is to create as many pieces as possible.
Each piece can be connected, or they can all be stand-alone.
Each entry should reflect your team.
All entries must reflect, in some way, the theme of the challenge (speed). Be creative! This can be represented physically, metaphorically, stylistically, or anything else you can think of.
Entries will be judged based on creativity, quantity, and quality.
The deadline for this challenge is 11:55 CST on November 22nd
Please email your pieces as a collection to [email protected] as individuals with the following
