Adopt-a-Thon Information and Guidelines

Unveiling/Starting Time: July 1st 2018 @ 12:00PM Central Standard Time (1 per minute until all are posted)

Entry Deadline: July 30, 2018 @ 11:59PM Central Standard Time

Who can enter: anyone 16 or older, whether or not you are affiliated with JunkTown. We ask that you join the group with your character if you win them, but you can also use them for AU’s other than JunkTown. 

This post will be reblogged after the unveiling as well for easy access.

(Info and Guidelines below the cut)

How the event will work:

Each character will have their watermarked ID posted on @welcome-to-junktown as a separate blog post, available for viewing any time.

Below each ID will be the tags you should use to hashtag your entries.

You can post your entry any time before the deadline.

You may edit your entry any time before the deadline (please let @kelly-scribes​ know if you do, so I can be absolutely sure I have your best version on file, and so the most recent version can be reblogged to the hub blog).

Entries will not be accepted the moment the clock strikes midnight on July 31st, 2018

Judging officially begins July 31st

Winners will be announced no later than August 7, 2018

If you have won, you will be tagged in the winner’s circle post, and you will be privately messaged by admin Clickspring to receive the downloads of your character’s files.

How to Enter:

Following the guidelines below, inspired by one of the character IDs,create your entry.

Upload your entry to Tumblr and/or DeviantART.

In the artist comments make sure to state that the piece is your official entry, and which character you are competing for. Linking to said character’s blog post is appreciated, but not mandatory.

Tag @welcome-to-junktown if you are posting on Tumblr. You can also tag @kelly-scribes if you want me to find your entry faster.

Tag ( :iconwelcome-to-junktown: ) if you are posting to DeviantART

Hashtag the entry as #welcome to junktown (or) #welcome-to-junktown | #adopt-a-thon2018 | #(character’s name)  (This will be in the description and tags of your character’s blog post to help everyone remember)

Untagged entries will not be accepted, the tagging will help me and my guest judges with entry navigation during judging. If you do not tag, we will not see your entry when browsing the appropriate category, therefore it is as if you didn’t enter at all.

You may make changes to your entry until the deadline. At the deadline time your entry will be catalogued in its current state for final judging.

Guidelines:

You must follow JunkTown Canon and Rules in your entry, any non-canon entries will be automatically disqualified.

You may not make significant changes to the character until you have won them (small things like clothing changes are okay).

You may compete for more than one character,  but for the sake of fairness, you may only win one (1) adopt.

You may enter up to two (2) entries for judge consideration on the character of your choice. Entries may be written, drawn digitally, or drawn traditionally.

Your entry should somehow demonstrate your take on the character you are trying for. Show me in your style, either written and/or drawn,  how you feel they would be. The scenario you draw or write is entirely your choice. Basically, show me what you would do with the character if it was yours. I have left open ended traits and situations in each ID card for you to interpret as you please.

Written entries must be a minimum of 500 words.

Drawn entries must be finished products, traditional entries should not be drawn on lined paper.

There will be no deadline extensions. I have offered an early entry option for several weeks, and have advertised thoroughly.  Any adopts with no entries will be withdrawn and available for sale after the deadline.

What you can win:

You will win the unwatermarked, HD png file of your character’s ID Card.

The full body image from the ID, uncropped and in full high resolution, with and without a basic background.

Copyright to the character you have won to build on as your own.

I am very pleased to announce the winner of Adopt-a-Thon 2018 for sunny is @blueskimmer!

@blueskimmer, I was speechless when I first saw your amazing take on Sunny. The amount of tension, emotion, and dynamic action was just through the roof. Absolutely top notch composition and balance. The whole work felt unified and captured the essence of Sunny’s massive presence, yet gentle persona. He will be in very good hands!

Last but certainly not least, I'm happy to announce the winner of the Adopt-a-Thon for Simon is @the-little-shoebox @the-little-shoebox Your written take on Simon was spot-on, very well capturing his tendency to be carefree and cheerful, as well as a great example of his clumsiness. I am very excited to see you make a buddy for him, and expand on his life and habits! @welcome-to-junktown Simon Yeung (c) @the-little-shoebox Artwork and Background Photos (collaged) (c) @kelly-scribes

JunkTown Adopt-A-Thon, Character Reveal and Launch on July 1, 2018

[welcome-to-junktown]

A little Adopt-a-Thon clarification (and group clarification in general), as I noticed there may have been a bit of confusion about this. 

If you do not want to post your Adopt-A-Thon entry on your personal blog, or any of your JunkTown related materials for that matter, you can submit them to the hub blog, and we can credit your blog or tag you directly! You are still responsible for labeling and tagging (which can be easily clarified with a private ask if you are confused), but that way you can still participate in the group and show your work, but won’t necessarily have to have it on a personal or themed blog. 

We also now have a group on DeviantART, which you can access HERE, which you are welcome to watch if you don’t want to join yet, or join in if you would like to!
